Elevator Reform, Bike Corral Drama, and Why Henry Murals Are Everywhere
Jane is joined by contributor Ryan Packer and producer Sam J Leeds to talk about a bill moving through the legislature that could help Washington lead the country on elevator reform. Then they discuss the standoff forming between the Pioneer Square Preservation Board and the push for new bike and scooter corrals in preparation for the World Cup. Finally, Sam and Jane talk to Seth Geiser, the manager of Urban Planning & Design for Downtown Seattle Association, about public art, why Henry murals are popping up at an increasing speed, and what we might like to see instead.
