Should there be a National Museum of Pop Culture? + a PDX airport trial run

Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)

Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), home to exhibits and experiences celebrating rock and roll music, science fiction and other expressions of popular culture, wants to The National Museum of Pop Culture.

And this week a bill was introduced in the House of Representatives to get the process in motion. The bill will have to pass through congressional committees before it can be voted on by the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then the President would have to sign the bill into law. But we’re confident that will happen.

While that process is going on, we encourage you to visit the museum when you’re in town to see exhibits that include Massive: The Power of Pop Culture, Hidden Worlds: The Films of Laika, Hendrix: Wild Blue Angel, Fantasy World of Myth and Magic – and much more.

Help test out the new main terminal at PDX Airport


Portland International Airport (PDX) will open its new main terminal sometime in August. But first, they need to test it out.

As part of that process, the airport is seeking volunteers for a PDX Dress Rehearsal on Saturday, August 3. Volunteers will serve as pretend travelers and test out the check-in and security systems and share feedback.

As a bonus, the airport is giving volunteers a $50 gift card.

Sound like fun? Register here by July 15.
