In Seattle there are all kinds of self-guided walking tours.

You can explore the city’s food, maritime history, and Black-friendly sites once listed in the Green Book, to name a few.

There’s also a new guide that showcases two routes through Seattle’s hip hop history.

We’ll hear more about Seattle’s Hip Hop Walking Map with visual artist, filmmaker, and cultural archivist Gary Campbell.
