Many alleys are lined with trash. They're dark and undesirable. But now, some of Seattle's back alleys are experiencing a renaissance.

Also, for those feeling anxious and overwhelmed, tapping into one's own creativity can provide comfort. Art therapy at Asian Counseling and Referral Service is helping many people find relief.

Host Enrique Cerna has these stories from Gallery Onyx at Pacific Place. (Photo: Seattle Department of Transportation)
