Nowadays, we all take roads ouside of the norm. When the West Seattle bridge closed in 2020 due to failing infrastructure, it forced those who were used to taking the scenic bridge above Puget Sound to take the roads-less-traveled along Marginal Way. Marginal Way, the namesake of this podcast, symbolizes the underground, perhaps under-appreciated, underbelly of Seattle becoming more mainstream with the changing times. So, too, with this time together, we’ll highlight perspectives of those with a niche view of our Pacific Northwest home: up-and-coming thought leaders with roots grounded in our shared history, and a vision of how we can craft a better world together through new perspectives.
