How Seattle celebrates Día de los Muertos

Today is Halloween, but tomorrow marks the start of the two-day holiday of Día de los Muertos.

A Latinx-owned art gallery in White Center has been celebrating all month by displaying work from 40 artists inspired by the holiday.

Nepantla Cultural Arts Gallery co-founders Jake Prendez and Judy Avitia-Gonzalez are here to talk about Día de los Muertos’ significance, and how the holiday has grown in Seattle.
