Yesterday afternoon we spent some time talking to people around Tacoma about the news that Russell Investments has chosen to leave our city. We began with barber Pete Lira. Now we join Steph Farber and Phyllis Harrison at Leroy Jewelers/Artstop. You may remember their billboard this last December aimed at the Russell employees down the hill from them.

Listen in as Steph and Phyllis talk about their business, the changing face of Russell, and bed races.

A Conversation With Tacoma's Mayoral Candidates

With just a few months left before the general election, Exit133 is about to begin its series of candidate conversations moderated by Dominic Black. Dominic comes to us via the BBC and KUOW. He brings a set of audio engineering and interviewing skills that are unmatched in this community. To get things started, we dive into the Mayor’s race …

Our first conversation is with the two candidates for Mayor of Tacoma, architect Jim Merritt and current City Councilmember Marilyn Strickland. We sat down with them at The Hub earlier this month. Unlike our past interviews that were one on one, we chose to have a conversation with both candidates at the same time. This created an interesting interplay and allowed for the conversation to move at a pace and direction that we may not have predicted.
