This week…


Seattle said goodbye to the World Cup, and things went better than expected.


Washington state has a surplus of cannabis. 


And also a bunch of new roundabouts, much to the dismay of some confused and passive drivers.


Stranger News Editor Vivian McCall and Seattle Met Deputy Editor Naomi Tomky are here to break down the week.
