Four city council candidates are vying to represent one of Seattle’s most progressive districts, District 2 in SE Seattle, and Erica’s been talking to them. We debate and discuss the issues and the candidates.
But the real drama? The potential closure of the Virginia Inn, which has been operating near Pike Place market for 120 years. David pokes fun at Sandeep and Erica's sentimental reminiscences. Nostalgia is a helluva drug, but if you wax nostalgic about the potential closure of a restaurant you love, does your urbanist card get revoked?
And just when you thought Seattle couldn't get any more Seattle, someone hacked a bunch of crosswalk signals with an AI Jeff Bezos voice. Is this the kind of clever, slightly absurd protest that we need right now? Or should we strive to be more humorless and uptight? Tune in, turn on, and mellow out.
Quinn Waller is our editor.
