In-state tuition for a public university is down to $11,610 a year, compared to $12,140 a decade ago. After grant aid is applied, the average student would pay $2,480, a decrease from the 2014-2015 school year, when that amount totaled $4,140.

Which Washington state forests are too old to be logged? Frustration is mounting on all sides in the fight over the old-growth forests of tomorrow. https://t.co/fEYanoRrxC

So the relevant question here is, where does the wood go? If it's firewood, then yes, this is bad for the climate. But if it's going into buildings that stand for 100 years, it seems like a win if the forest is allowed to grow back?

WA tied with Denmark and Sweden. You can quibble with the precise numbers in any index, but very few people in history have had it as good as we do.

From the inbox: Downtown @soundtransit escalators were 96% reliable in July, a tremendous effort following years of breakdowns (even as July train reliability slumped to an 88% on-time rate).
