If you’ve been on Seattle dating apps, you may have come across the letters ENM…

ENM stands for ethical non-monogamy, which is becoming increasingly popular in the US, and specifically in the Pacific Northwest.

A popular form of ENM is polyamory - the practice of having multiple romantic partners at once.

Now, advocates for polyamory are trying to gain legal protections in Seattle.

New York Times Pacific Northwest Bureau Chief Anna Griffin will tell us more.
