Welcome to Rainy Day History, a podcast by the MOHAI Youth Advisors. Seattle is famous for its coffee beans and digital machines, but it hasn't always been that way. We're diving into history to uncover what it means to be a Seattleite both in the past and the present. This isn't your everyday museum podcast—it's completely teen-researched, written, and produced!
Washington was one of the first two states to legalize the recreational use of marijuana. How did Seattle become a city of stoners? Find out in this bonus episode of Rainy Day History about the history of marijuana legalization in Washington state.
