George Washington owned slaves. Is that enough of a reason to change the name of our state? That’s the question posed by a Pacific Northwest Magazine writer, and answered by our hosts. I don’t want to spoil too much, but they all came up with similar answers with disparate reasons.
Also, I rolled out the KIRO Radio Time Machine for the first time, a special device that allows us to suck radio segments out of the past that may have some relevance today. Hear what Dave Ross, Tom Tangney and John Curley sounded like in 2014, when Seattle first decided to celebrate Indigenous People’s Day instead of Columbus Day.
