KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross and reporter Aaron Granillo give a 10-minute recap of Wednesday night’s debates. How did the candidates talk about the ongoing pandemic? Incumbent Governor Inslee faced off against his Republican challenger Loren Culp. And Vice President Mike Pence took the stage, behind plexiglass, to debate Senator Kamala Harris.

Plus, we’ll give you a rundown of all this week’s coronavirus news you can use. A coronavirus outbreak strikes the University of Washington’s Greek Row, there are some new rules at Seattle parks, and the CDC has updated what you need to know about how the virus can spread.

Free coronavirus testing sites are open every day across Seattle. You can find the locations and reserve a spot here.
