Wrote for a magazine also known as Crosscut when I was in high school, it was the product of a Centrum residency at Fort Worden, Port Townsend. I remember the cafeteria spoons had the Seal Of The State Of Washington on them. I always have the most tenuous topical tidbits. I apologize.
Is that funding at all levels, or just high-brow arts in certain neighborhoods that expect more than their fair share?
Hint: if the latter, ask Gates and Allen and Bezos to step up.
