With a new year comes expectations. Whether it’s something shiny and unique or a continuation of the stuff that came before, those expectations really shape our anticipation (or antipathy) for the coming orbit around the sun. In this episode, hosts Natalie Argerious and Ray Dubicki talk about the which trends will probably continue and where the year will awaken, shaking and confused, to the harsh fluorescent light of new realities.
Of course, most of that new reality is going to be the grinding, unrelenting election schedule. First up on the docket for Seattleites is the special election for I-135 social housing ballot initiative. The Urbanist is a supporter of the initiative and the amazing rally coming up this Sunday, and has both an endorsement and a podcast episode that give you great reasons to vote yes. Get your ballot in now, or by no later than February 14th.
