Weekend Listen: A dad's ICE arrest and the Seattle nurse who took his family in, UW’s new required civil rights training, and a proposal to help military families with free preschool
Sat Feb 07 2026
Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW Newsroom…
For two families in Seattle, this past Christmas is one they’ll always remember. They came together after an immigration arrest left one family stranded, and facing deportation.
A look at a new required training from UW, part of a voluntary agreement with the federal government after allegations of unchecked antisemitism on campus.
And a proposal in Olympia that would help more military families qualify for the state’s free preschool program.
