''. In 2013
The Project Room in Seattle hosted ''These Streets''
a play that was based on and celebrated women musicians of 80s and 90s Seattle, included an interview by Hana (DBA Lucy Hanna) of Elizabeth Davis-Simpson and Valerie Agnew (formerly of Seattle band 7 Year Bitch) on music, bands and life. A group exhibit, curated by Gretta Harley and Sarah Rudinoff, included Hanna's photographs (DBA Lucy Hanna) of Mia Zapata with The Gits, Gretta Harley, and 7 Year Bitch. From NPR's ''All Things Considered:'' "So Harley and Rudinoff set out to tell that story. They starting talking to women who'd been part of Seattle's rock community, and eventually videotaped more than 30 conversations with women like Valerie Agnew and Elizabeth Davis, the drummer and the bassist for the band 7 Year Bitch. Davis and Agnew recall that the female musicians of the Pacific Northwest were far from invisible, especially when they toured Europe. Their promotion was a little inaccurate, though: Show posters would advertise them as 'the godmothers of Riot Grrls,' even though the Riot Grrl movement got its start 60 miles south of Seattle, in Olympia, and many of the Seattle women say they were more into music than Riot Grrl feminism."
