Your Guide to June in Seattle

Today on the show, Jane is joined by producers Ashley and Liam to dig into their summer bingo cards – think of a three ferry bike ride and seeing the DubSea Fish Sticks when Mariners tickets get too expensive. Then they discuss what Seattle has going on this June, from the most wholesome place to watch the FIFA World Cup (the library) to the city’s best Pride event (gays eating garlic bread in the park).
