Meet Me Here

With summer in full swing, authors Maria Dolan and Kathryn True's Seattle Field Guide is the perfect tool to get outside. The book has 38 recommendations, and we're taking a closer look at a few that will get readers out by the water.
In this episode, host Katie Campbell talks to Maria and Kathryn about four of their recommendations (and a few bonus ideas to enjoy the sunny season):
The Commodore Park heron colony
Shilshole Bay and its sea lions
The ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island
Secret shorelines of the city, including the Union Bay Natural Area

For the second summer in a row, Seattle's Lake Union is transformed into an EDM venue with DJs spinning heavy bass for thousands of ravers on the water. On today's episode, Erik Hillesheim of Seattle Paddle Rave shares the origins and delights of this free Seattle event. We've got our flamingo floatie and oversized shades, and Meet Me Here is ready to party!
Check out the Seattle Paddle Rave Instagram page or LakeUnionConcerts.com. They have tips for where to get into the water, and where to rent paddleboards, kayaks, or motorboats.

Seattle is surrounded by bodies of water, and now that it's July, we can truly enjoy them. The sea planes of Lake Union, the bull kelp of Puget Sound, and fishing on the Deschutes even if you don't catch a thing all mean summer around here.
Hosts Katie Campbell, Jeannie Yandel and Dyer Oxley discuss bodies of water and the artistic works they inspire.
