Ep004: Seattle's 3 Birthdays

This week I am recording the show remotely from Las Vegas because I am here for a conference. I had a beautiful interaction with an elderly women at a restaurant at the Bellagio called Lagos which resulted in her kindly buying us dinner. The show will dive deeper, but she ended it saying "the world would be so much better, if more people were as nice as you." The moment filled me with love, compassion, happiness and even a little sadness. I also enjoyed dinner at Momofuku and Milk Bar.  The core of today's show is the wacky story of how Seattle actually has 3 birthdays. My story on the show is all over the place in terms of story tellings, but in short, here's the history of the three days. 1 Day recognizes the day the original settlers moved from their first location on West Seattle, into what is current Pioneer Square. The second birthday recognizes the first attempt at becoming an official city, which only last 2 years. The 3rd, and official birthday Dec. 2, 1869, happened when the city reestablishes they are Seattle, with a change in governmental structure having a mayor and city council.  Ok, that was as winded as my talking in this show.  Thank you for listeing to the Find Me in Seattle Podcast, Episode 004.
