Specters of Art
Have you heard of Lee-Roth Fog? It’s described as an atmospheric phenomenon first discovered in 1972, “known for the bizarre sounds it seemingly makes as it rolls and blankets the West Hollywood landscape.” Engineers helped artist Ryan Betschart isolate the sound and capture footage of the phenomenon, which you can experience at Tacoma Art Museum’s […] The post Specters of Art appeared first on The Stranger.

Today on the podcast, Jane is joined by managing editor of Seattle Gay News, Madison Jones, to talk about a tip she received that the city may soon declare a civil emergency for LGBTQ+ refugees fleeing other U.S. states to live in Seattle.

Then, producer Sam and contributor Lex Vaughn join for a full rundown on what we know so far about the three King County residents who may have been exposed to hantavirus.

Guest Rant: Seattle Housing Authority is Failing Their Tenants, Their Mission, and the Law

Slog AM: Howard Schultz Talks Shit About Seattle, Zorhran Mamdani Solves NYC’s Budget Deficit, Trump Says He Doesn’t Think About Ordinary Americans’ Financial Situation
The idea to ban cars from Capitol Hill’s E. Barbara Bailey street, which encounters constant foot traffic from Cal Anderson Park, Capitol Hill Station, and the Capitol Hill Station Plaza, is a no-brainer. Cars should not be there. And an organization, Central Seattle Streets for All, is now pressing for the formal pedestrianization of the […] The post Slog AM: Howard Schultz Talks Shit About Seattle, Zorhran Mamdani Solves NYC’s Budget Deficit, Trump Says He Doesn’t Think About Ordinary Americans’ Financial Situation appeared first on The Stranger.

Tell Me What’s a Happenin’
When I was introduced to Jesus Christ Superstar, my Bible-thumping mother leveled a stern warning: This show was blasphemous. Jesus presented as a mere mortal— “just another man”—who was in over his head leading a band of freedom fighters champing at the bit to storm Rome, who maybe had sexual relations with former lady of […] The post Tell Me What’s a Happenin’ appeared first on The Stranger.
