The demise of the Bellevue Arts Museum Sep 09, 2024

The Bellevue Arts Museum was a launching pad for local artists, but no longer. The museum announced last week that it was closing effective immediately, leaving a hole in the area’s artistic landscape.

Today, we talk about why and the concerning signs for other local arts organizations with the museum’s executive director Kate Casprowaik Scher and Seattle Times reporter Margo Vansynghel.

Casual Friday with Rachel Belle and Maleeha Syed Sep 06, 2024

Show notes

This week…

Seattle Public Schools welcomed students back, but there are concerns about their physical and mental safety.

The New York Times gave its recommendations for spending 36 hours in Seattle, including quite a few stops in the U-District.

And knock knock! campaigns in the tight Public Lands Commissioner race sent people door to door to make sure their ballots counted.

Rachel Belle and Maleeha Syed are here from Cascade PBS to break down the week.

Wildfire smoke has gone to the birds Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

We’ve had a blissfully smoke-free summer, but that’s not likely to be the case most years.

Wildfire smoke has become a fact of life across much of the west coast.

But there’s very little science on how it impacts wildlife.

This fire season, hundreds of volunteers are looking for clues by watching birds.

We’ll hear more from local birder Nadine Santo Pietro and researcher Olivia Sanderfoot.
