On Monday, The Big O (@Omarisal) sat down with Libby Denkmann (@libdenk) on KUOW’s (@KUOW) Soundside to discuss Rahwe Habte, Mayor Wilson, and Steelheads Sunday. Highlights from the Conversation: Public Safety & Mayor Wilson: They discussed the Mayor’s first 100 days, specifically the tension surrounding CCTV cameras and the underutilization of the CARE teams. The Legacy of Rahwa Habte: One of the most emotional moments was discussing the mural of Rahwa Habte at 20th and Jackson. The Big O shared that seeing a professional poster hanger papering over the face of a community icon was a triggering, as Rahwa was a giant—a refugee from Eritrea who became a pillar of the Central District. Steelhead Sundays: On a brighter note, The Big O celebrated the Seattle Mariners becoming the first MLB team to include a historic Negro Leagues uniform (the Seattle Steelheads) in their standard rotation. Seeing the M’s rocking those black and cream jerseys every home Sunday isn’t just a marketing gimmick—it’s a sincere effort to honor the history of Black baseball in a city where that legacy matters.
