About this episode

This episode discusses a lawsuit against Albertson’s, business impacts of a car-free pilot, and a unique library story.

This week… Washington state is suing Albertson’s for deceptive BOGO deals. New stats from Pike Place Market say the car-free pilot could be helping increase business. And a “good samaritan” from Richland turned in a couple of overdue library books 64 years late. Too Beautiful to Live Co-Host Andrew Walsh and author Geraldine DeRuiter are here to break down the week.
