After a U.S. airstrike killed Iran’s top military official last week, tensions between the two countries have escalated. Iranian Americans have been left with anxieties and questions about how conflicts between the countries could impact them and their families. We talk with two Iranian Americans in Portland, Siamak Shirazi and Nina Khanjan.

When she was sworn in to the Washington Supreme Court earlier this week, Raquel Montoya-Lewis became the first Native American justice in the state’s history. Montoya-Lewis was formerly a superior court judge in Whatcom County. We talked to her in December.

We talk to two apple detectives about their search for types of apples thought to be extinct. E.J. Brandt is a Vietnam veteran who currently works as an emergency medical technician. David Benscoter is a retired FBI agent and IRS criminal investigator. They are both part of The Lost Apple Project.
