About this episode

This episode features a discussion with Rachel Crick and Chris Pugh about the As Many Weirdos As Possible music project and the celebration of individuality in the Northwest music scene.

What happens when you shine a spotlight on the wonderfully odd, the creatively brave, and the musicians who refuse to fit the mold? In this episode of the Exploring Washington State Podcast , we sit down with founder Rachel Crick and photographer Chris Pugh from As Many Weirdos As Possible — a project that celebrates the artists who make the Northwest music scene vibrant, unpredictable, and unapologetically unique. We talk about the beauty of standing out, what “weird” really means in a world obsessed with trends, and how individuality fuels authentic art. This isn’t about shock value — it’s about honesty, expression, and the people who remind us that Washington’s creative heartbeat has always been a little unconventional. Remember, there’s always more to explore — especially in the wonderfully weird corners of our music scene.
