Summer Fund Drive

The Trump Administration has sent Congress a rescissions package that would claw back already-approved funding for public media, including KBCS. These cuts would leave KBCS with a 10% gap in its budget. Our Summer Fund Drive starts Thursday, but you can help safeguard your favorite KBCS programs today. Please, donate now and thank you in advance.

Take a look at  some of the businesses that closed in our region in 2018. Vanishing Seattle is a nonprofit organization that documents the displaced and disappearing institutions, small businesses, and cultures of the area, often due to the increasing real estate market prices and changing demographics. In this three-part series, KBCS’s Yuko Kodama interviews Cynthia Brothers, Founder of Vanishing Seattle.

Part 1 – We hear some unique businesses that are no longer found in Seattle

Part 2 – Cynthia speaks about the closure of a laundromat and café in Seattle, and why these types of businesses are so important to their surrounding communities

Part 3 – Cynthia shares some Central District businesses that shuttered in 2018, and some in that neighborhood that are still going strong
