Denny Blaine Updates, Vera Project Expands, and Psychedelics Are Bipartisan Now?

from City Cast Seattle · host City Cast

Today on the show, Jane is joined by contributors Chase Hutchinson and Guy Oron to discuss the latest update on the Denny Blaine saga – how advocates for Seattle’s queer nude beach have organized as a non-profit and were granted a Motion to Intervene in the lawsuit brought by a group of neighbors trying to close the park. Then Jane explains why a little-known psychedelic called ibogaine has become a darling for a surprising group of bipartisan politicians, including here in Washington state. And finally, the three break down some much-needed good news for the Seattle arts scene.  Learn more about the  sponsors of this January 29th episode Seattle Cider Company Want to get in touch?
