The third season of our Seattle City Makers Podcast begins with a conversation about one of Seattle’s many shining assets – its parks and public spaces. Who better to talk about Seattle parks with than the superintendent of Seattle Parks &amp; Recreation, AP Diaz? Jon and AP talk about what drew him to this city; how his upbringing shaped his views on parks; the new Waterfront Park’s impending impact; his favorite parks to visit and more.
