MOHAI’s Rainy Day History Podcast 
Listen at your leisure | Online
What is Seattle’s story? Who does it belong to? How did we get to where we are now?
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!
