Is Seattle Patriotic? Plus, What the 'Legally Blonde' Prequel Gets Wrong About Our City

Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by contributors Chase Hutchinson and Eula Scott Bynoe to talk about MOHAI’s newest exhibit and what the American flag means to Seattle. Then they cover the relevance and accuracy of the new TV show, Elle, which is set in our city circa 1994. Plus, lots of weekend recommendations and a bonus segment about the infamous local food that was just crowned “top dog”. Correction: On this episode a contributor claims that Washington state was founded by George Washington, the founder of the town of Centralia. But the state itself was named after the first president by the same name and does not have a singular founder.
