A generation ago, Seattle was the white hot center of popular music. Nirvana, Pearl Jam and all the rest. In 2008, how vibrant is Seattle's music scene? Whether you're a fan of rock, classical, jazz, or any kind of music what's your take? You tell us if the talent is strong, the venues varied, the audience enthusiastic. What do you see as a fan, performer or promoter? What makes the music scene great? What drags it down? Why are so many Seattle indie rockers moving to Portland? What role do liquor laws and city regulations have on the music scene?
Also today, we'll talk about a new 60 unit housing homeless housing complex coming to Ballard. Plus, the latest on the plan to save Puget Sound. We'll talk to the executive director of the Puget Sound Partnership.
