Bush Garden is back.

After closing during the pandemic, Seattle’s iconic karaoke institution re-opened in a new location in the C-ID.

The restaurant has a long history in the city, and a devoted customer base.

In this collaboration episode with Vanishing Seattle's Cynthia Brothers, we’ll explore how Bush Garden went from a high-end Japanese restaurant to a center of C-ID activism as well as a beloved karaoke bar.
