• The Seattle Police Department hired longtime Seattle Times reporter Andrew Garber as a Senior Media Advisor. He starts next week. 
Given interim-Chief Harry Bailey’s questionable press-conference skills, it’s probably a good thing. • Rideshares in Seattle are getting capped. But does that mean they are dead? • And speaking of dead, the state Department of Transportation is giving the axe to 500 trees along Interstate 5.
