THIS EPISODE OF THE NORTHWEST POLITICAST: It’s been ten years since the deadliest landslide in American history struck the tiny down of Oso. Since then, the community has attempted to rebuild, but memories of the 43 people who died still linger. On Friday, a new two-acre park was dedicated in their honor. We’ll hear from those who spearheaded the project and some of the family members who still live in the area despite their loss.

PLUS: An effort to make public schools in Washington more inclusive.

AND: Bob Ferguson attempts to shore up what could be his weakest policy area.

Guests include Paul Queary of the Washington Observer, State Senator Marko Liias, and ABC’s Andy Field.

The Northwest Politicast with Jeff Pohjola: From this Washington to that one, Jeff Pohjola will explore the issues and politics of the week. Frequent guests and top analysts break down the news to get to the heart of what matters most.
