 The Seattle City Council is facing a tight deadline to replace a member who unexpectedly stepped down from her District 5 position, but they may get an assist from a familiar name. Councilmembers Mark Solomon and Dan Strauss speak about the vacancy, a proposed overhaul of the city's business tax system, public safety, and more on Council Edition!
 Last Saturday was the 4th annual One Seattle Day of Service. Across the city, volunteers came together to improve the city we love. At the Lake City Court P-Patch, about a dozen volunteers tidied the gardens and cleaned the playground in the adjacent courtyard.
 King County has one of the highest survival rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the world. One key factor is the increasing number of citizens who have cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. To help keep this trend going in right direction, the Seattle Fire Department is partnering with Seattle Parks and Recreation to host free CPR classes at community centers throughout the city. Visit Seattle.gov/medic2 to find the location and dates of upcoming classes.
Volunteers with various skills, from radio communications to mental health counselors, gather a few times a year at Seattle Emergency Communication Hubs. They set up a site and practice an emergency scenario with the help of community members playing the part of neighbors in need.
The next drill will be in North Capitol Hill on August 24th from 2:30 - 5:30 p.m. If you are interested in volunteering or want to know more about Seattle Emergency Communication Hubs, visit their website at seattleemergencyhubs.org.
