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.

Why was Seattle's original draft plan for more dense housing watered down?
Send us a Text Message.
A big Publicola scoop shows how Mayor Harrell watered down a draft comprehensive plan for "significantly more density in more parts of the city, including single-family neighborhoods, than the final version Mayor Harrell released in March."
The pod discusses and debates the policy and the politics, in light of recent polling that suggests most Seattleites crave more density.

Customer Reviews
Easy and entertaining place to catch up on Seattle politics
Seattle Nice is one of my favorite podcasts. Great way to understand Seattle politics. Only wish it came out more often.
Getting tired of format
They are pretty predictable - Sandeep testing out his political talking points, Erica constantly asserting that she’s a real journalist. It is not really informative or entertaining. Wearing a little thin…
Love this pod
Love this show. Sometimes I think Erica is delusional and sometimes I think Sandeep is too much of a political consultant but always I love it. I recommend to everyone I know who lives in Seattle and loves podcasts.
