They say Seattle can’t dress…. and they are WRONG. We got style! And fall is the perfect time to show it.

On today’s episode we’ll talk with two people who are passionate about how Seattleites express themselves through clothes. 

Anna Banana owns and runs the Capitol Hill vintage and vintage-inspired store, Pretty Parlor, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Brenda Wangari is a content creator - and every month, she documents people’s fits at the First Thursday Art Walk in Pioneer Square. 

Anna and Brenda share some easy tips for exploring your own personal style  - and finding the joy in getting dressed.

Yes, Seattle has style. Here’s how to develop yours.

Today, we’re helping you prep for next month’s election with KUOW’s “Soundside.”

The fate of the high earners income tax, sometimes called the “Millionaire’s Tax," is in the hands of Washington voters. 

This year, Democrats in Olympia passed a nearly 10 percent tax on every dollar of household income over $1 million. 

Almost immediately after the legislature passed it, the tax was challenged, both in court and with an initiative on this November’s ballot. 

As the legal battle continues, Soundside brought in two experts to debate Initiative 645.

Soundside is made by Libby Denkmann, David Kroman, Sarah Leibovitz, Hans Anderson, Jason Burrows, Gabrielle Healy, Jed Kim, and Maleeha Syed.
