Seattle is really “progressive,” but you’re still othered if you’re of color.Īnd you have a party you DJ that kind of deals directly with that. So, even if it was just a twenty minute drive there was a huge psychic difference? Definitely, very different. I grew up in a really multicultural area and neighborhood I didn’t realize how not white I was until I moved to Seattle, where the population is like, 75% white. Did you grow up in Seattle? I grew up in Renton, which is twenty minutes outside of Seattle proper.
