'Seattle Eats with Tan Vinh' is bringing you the tastiest tidbits of the PNW

Washington state is about to get a new top lawyer. 

Former U.S. Attorney Nick Brown defeated Pasco Mayor Pete Serrano earlier this month to become the state’s next Attorney General. 

Brown is an Army veteran who also served as general counsel to Governor Jay Inslee. 

When he’s sworn in in January, he’ll be stepping into the high-profile job just as the stakes get even higher: Washington state had a history of legal clashes with the last Trump Administration, over everything from the Muslim ban to environmental protections and the Affordable Care Act.    

So how is the next Attorney General thinking about confrontations with Trump 2.0?

He sat down with Soundside's Libby Denkmann to discuss the job ahead, his thoughts on Matt Gaetz as the US Attorney General, and his time on the reality show, Survivor.

A Conversation with Attorney General elect Nick Brown 

Washington voters justupheld the state’s new capital gains tax — which places a 7% tax on the sale of long-term assets like stocks and bonds.  

Now, the Seattle City Council is looking at a proposal to create its own capital gains tax for the city itself. Instead of benefitting schools, like the state tax, this revenue would fund things like rental assistance.

But so far, the idea is not being universally embraced by city leadership. Seattle City Councilmember Cathy Moore sits down with Soundside host Libby Denkmann to discuss why she thinks the capital gains tax idea is right for Seattle. 

GUEST:  Seattle City Councilmember Cathy Moore (District 5)

Canoe journeys are rigorous, challenging trips that go for hundreds of miles. 

Each year, canoe “families” from different tribal nations paddle between villages on the Salish Sea, joining local celebrations and ceremonies along the way. They camp at each stop until reaching that year’s destination tribal site. 

For indigenous people who take part, it’s an important way to connect with their culture as well as other tribes. It’s also a chance to explore nature and their own inner strength. 

The Lummi Youth Canoe Family took its last journey in 2019. Now, two brothers are trying to revive the group.

Raven and Free Borsey first joined the Lummi Youth Canoe Family in 2013.
The twin brothers say joining the group as teenagers changed their trajectory in life and gave them a better understanding of the natural world.

Now, more than a decade after their first canoe trip, the twin brothers have received the Bullitt Prize, a $100,000 dollar grant from Washington Conservation Action aimed at developing young environmental leaders in the state, under the age of 35. 

Their goal is bringing the trips back for new generations of Lummi youth and expanding the programming year round.
