I MAY, OR MAY NOT, have always thought I was breaking the law, but now that I know it's actually totally copacetic, I'm doing it MORE, I'm doing it proudly & freely, haha 🖤😊🌠

One of Seattle's main roads has a confusing traffic situation, so we went to the Department of Transportation for answers.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! My NW Ghosties and Ghouls, DO YOU HAVE ANY URBAN LEGENDS from your home town, or college town, or Seattle proper?!? PLEASE hit me up, in the comments or my DM's!
Going to be recording a podcast about NW urban legends, inspired by the tale of Mel's Hole; an completely unproven tale about a bottomless hole near Ellensburg that was made famous on Coast to Coast, but not a shred of evidence exists for it being real ❤

Fifteen years ago, a story about a mythical bottomless hole somewhere on Manastash Ridge near Ellensburg took on a life of its own.

Introducing our new co-owner and tour guide extraordinaire, Davin Michael Stedman:

Davin Michael Stedman brings a unique perspective to his life as an Emerald City Tour Guide. Dāvin has spent the last 20 years playing at the most iconic music venues in Seattle, while traveling the world representing Seattle as a singer and songwriter that shines a light where ever he lands.

He shares a great passion for history with founder Jessica Ness, and regularly hosts world class artists that are instantly enthralled with his tales of Seattle rise from a proud Duwamish village to a glistening city of innovation and music, compared in the same breath as the mythic city land of Oz.

You may catch Dāvin busking on the street before your tour on the same marks as his favorite local voices Brandi Carlile and Whitney Monge Monge. After the tour you might be invited to catch him in concert or the performance of an amazing Seattle artist you are about the discover.

Have a listen to Dāvin's albums with The Staxx Brothers and his first solo album West Indian Rock, that he recorded in Jamaica with greats including Sly & Robbie.
