THIS EPISODE OF THE NORTHWEST POLITICAST: In cycles past, the Washington State Republican Party would simply endorse whoever made it out of the primary.

But during the first session in Spokane, delegates revolted against party establishment over the candidacy of Semi Bird. We’ll break down what happened.

PLUS: The latest on the Donald Trump hush money trial now that a jury has been seated.

AND: How the organizers of Bumbershoot hope to help revitalize downtown Seattle.

Guests include Paul Queary of the Washington Observer, legal analyst Royal Oakes, and more.
