It's hard to imagine great wealth. But Seattle's 'Wealth Walk' makes you feel it

Purcell got the idea for "The Wealth Walk’" — which debuted last year but returned this month and plays through June 7 — during the pandemic, scrolling through viral videos that tried to illustrate massive wealth with metaphors.

For instance: If a grain of rice represented $100,000, how many would Jeff Bezos have? (Fifty-eight pounds of rice, it turns out.)

Wow. I’m a fan of tourist walks. Usually historical. It makes sense to make them activist style walks. Instead of waving flags wander around snapping guillotines around head offices and fancy houses.
