What Seattle is talking about

Former Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best joins KING 5 as a contributing analyst. Best made her debut as KING 5’s law enforcement analyst on Monday. Critics of the announcement pointed out the proximity between journalists covering SPD and the news outlet’s decision to hire the former chief of police. (KING 5)

Participate in a Capitol Hill public safety survey. The annual survey is run by Seattle University’s Crime & Justice Research Center and aims to gather information on the neighborhood’s perceptions of public safety. SPD uses the information to help direct its Micro-Community Policing Plans. The survey is open through Nov. 30. (Capitol Hill Seattle Blog)

Welcome news for the Seattle arts community. Late art patrons, Jane Lang Davis and Richard Lang’s estate announced a total of $9 million to be given to nine different arts organizations. These include the Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Opera, the Henry Art Gallery, the Seattle Symphony, and the Pacific Northwest Ballet. (KUOW)

An organization supporting young artists of color founded by two teens. Anya Shukla and Kathryn Lau started The Colorization Collective after hearing artist and activist Sara Porkalob speak. The Collective is both an online blog and mentorship program, where students are matched with artists who work in the same medium. The goal is to ultimately help foster more diversity in the arts scene by reaching out to young artists of color. (Seattle Met)

Seattle breweries win big. Thousands of breweries participate in the Great American Beer Festival, and this year Seattle was well-represented among the winners of the competition. Medalists included Burke Gilman Brewing Company, Cloudburst Brewing, The Good Society Brewery, Reuben’s, and Lowercase Brewing. (Seattle PI)
