A bunch of homies who used to work at the Seattle institution The Trading Musician got together to open a new shop with the same familiar vibe. Staffed by incredibly skilled and knowledgeable musicians, the vibe is welcoming, friendly, and fun. They have some great deals on some great gear, and maintenance services. I can't recommend this spot enough.
Trinity is fucking RAD. Youthful energy, wild talent, super catchy hooks, tastefully dance-able breakdowns, these kids have it all. I'm not unbiased, being that the lead singer/guitar player is my kid. But these are tunes I would 100% spin even if we weren't related. For real, go listen, get stoked, then come out to a gig!
Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network!
Offering many amazing resources to immigrants throughout WA, WAISN helps provide the dignity and support that all people deserve. Not only do they run a deportation defense hotline, they have trained volunteers to accompany people through their immigration hearings or appointments. Visit their site! There are many ways you can support, even if it's just through regular donation.
