Take a (virtual) Seattle safari for Earth Day

Meet your feathered, finned, and photosynthesizing neighbors this beautiful Earth Day! 🦅🐟🌱 We’ve highlighted so much flora and fauna here on the Seattle Channel and learned a ton about Washington's wild nature along the way. Our Earth Day 2023 feature is here to tell you why you should be nice to your local crows, become a cheerleader for leaping salmon, and embrace moss.

Seattle’s river keeps changing

Hop aboard a Duwamish River boat tour on the Admiral Jack. The Duwamish is Seattle’s only river. It was 15 miles long before being shortened, straightened, and filled with debris.

This band is “Awesome”

Art Zone pulled this "Awesome" performance out of the archives–"Awesome" being the name of the band, of course. Their song “Believe in Faith” is either a work of art or a stream of consciousness (or both?). Either way, it’s hilarious. Catch "Awesome" live on April 30 at Theatre Off Jackson.
