Today on City Cast Seattle, we’re getting into the pay gap in professional hockey and why Jane thinks everyone should become a fan of the Torrent. While we’re at it, contributor Marcus Harrison Green unveils a potential name for Torrent fans. Plus, contributor Lex Vaughn gets into how our city deals with the problem of pigeon poop and we discuss the holiday increase of porch pirates, with a radical idea: stop ordering so much online.
