On my playlist today: Seattle's @MarshallLawBand. They're up for a @PulitzerPrizes award for music this week for their gorg album, 12th & Pine, an emotional portrait of their experience playing through tear gas and rubber bullets at CHOP last summer. Worth a listen.
Wow thank you @NPR / @KUOW and the homie @RadioGirlMurphy for an amazing opportunity to speak our truth about the 12th & Pine experience, the Seattle movement, @PulitzerPrizes and next steps for the MLB fam 🖤❤️🖤🛫 #BoomTheBlock kuow.org/stories/seattle-now…

We are excited about this piece written by @JennFlowers with contribution from @SueSnyman, our research director. Sue argues that whiles wildlife conservation can't rely on ecotourism alone, revenues from tourism can play a key role in a diversified economy. Click on the link bio
