Today, Jane is joined by Cynthia Brothers of Vanishing Seattle and creative producer Sam J Leeds to discuss the past, present, and future of Seattle culture. Cynthia highlights the businesses trying new models to keep their doors open, shares which community favorites are returning after they previously closed, and an update on beloved, 30-year-old Ethiopian restaurant Meskel. Plus, how the World’s Fair and the World Cup are echoes of each other more than 60 years apart.
