What is the button/brooch Jill Wine-Banks is wearing today?

[Stinky The Clown]

She is the blond woman who was a Watergate prosecutor and is now an MSNBC talking head.

She is wearing a large button or brooch that is a yellow school bus with brightly colored windows. It has an inscription on it that I can't read. Does anyone know what it is?

1. I actually found it, apparently she is big on brooches and pins.

2. Wow! Great sleuthing! Thanks!

Did the source site say what it means? Is that the name of a school, maybe?

3. Best I can figure, it's an area of Seattle Washington and there is at least an elementary school

named Rainier View.

I have seen that lady on MSNBC often, and wondered who she is. Your OP spurred me to look it up and I ran across the brooches/pins. She has a bunch of cool ones.

5. Yep, Rainier View Elementary, in Federal Way.

I edited because I'd mislocated it. Federal Way is south of Seattle. I used to work at an agency there when I first started doing therapy. It's one of the less gentrified areas. I didn't know she had a Seattle connection. It's probably a little creepy to be stalked via a pin but it's media life I suppose. And heck, I'm clearly chipping in.

9. There is also a Rainier View Elementary in the Rainier View neighborhood of Seattle.

6. I agree. It is likely for the school given the motif.

I'm wondering if she has some connection to the school. I can't find anything about it, or even about where she lives.

7. As Jill Wine-Banks is to pins, so John Heilemann is to eyewear.

He seems to have a different pair of eyeglasses for every day of the month.

He also has a Wu-Tang Clan logo decal affixed to his laptop.

4. RV is a town south of Seattle

8. Lots of similar place names.

There are two elementary schools with the name, too. One in Seattle's Rainier View and one a few miles south, in the south end of Federal Way.

10. It's a cute pin. She's worn it before.

11. She also was wearing Pinocchio brooch last week, too funny.

12. Pins

I often look at the TV brooches/pins and lapel pins and thought it was just me. Thanks for these updates! Jill Wine-Banks just tweeted why she wore it: Jill Wine-Banks (@JillWineBanks) Tweeted:
