Seattle Nice
It’s getting harder and harder to talk about politics, especially if you disagree. Well, screw that. Seattle Nice aims to be the most opinionated and smartest analysis of what’s really happening in Seattle politics available in any medium. Each episode dives into contentious and sometimes ridiculous topics, exploring perspectives from across Seattle's political spectrum, from city council brawls to the ways the national political conversation filters through our unique political process. Even if you’re not from Seattle, you need to listen to Seattle Nice. Because it’s coming for you. Unlike the sun, politics rises in the West and sets in the East.

The good, the bad, and the ugly takes on Tammy Morales quitting Seattle's City Council
Tammy Morales has announced she's quitting the city council in January. She accused some colleagues of treating her very poorly and also told Erica she sees no point in continuing because she can't make any progress whatsoever passing progressive legislation with the current, more centrist council.
Is the current council toxic? Is Morales right to quit? Is she abandoning her progressive allies? We take a closer look at these questions, and speculate on the fallout from the move in 2025.
As our regular listeners might expect, Erica sides with Morales, Sandeep is less sympathetic, and David questions the consistency of both.
Our editor is Quinn Waller.
