Where To Find Secret Public Spaces, Light Rail Delays Continue, and Listening to Seattle’s History
Today, on his final day of guest hosting (for now), Marcus Harrison Green is joined by Tony Williams to talk about History Link podcast Field Notes, and how learning about the past helps us appreciate and understand where our city came from and where it’s going. Then he is joined by Gossip Guy’s Guy Oron and Executive Producer Ashley to talk about…another light rail delay, this one for West Seattle until 2035. The trio break down what’s happening there and then, finally, talk about the little-known public spots located in private buildings or water access at the end of city streets. Hear what they have to say, and read more on our website!
