Episode Synopsis

Feliks Banel's guests on this LIVE BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY include Clay Eals and Jean Sherrard of Seattle Now & Then on this week's Seattle Times column about the old Hitt Fireworks factory in Seattle's Rainier Valley as well as the announcement that the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) will give up its lease on the Egyptian Theatre; Chrissie Richardson of the Parkland Community Association about the Haunted Market at Parkland Community Center - historic Parkland School in Pierce County - on October 18, 2025 from 10am to 4pm; and Frank Abe on his experience at the 15-inning Game 5 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) in Seattle last Friday night.

We also listened to audio from the most recent meeting of the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board (LPB) as the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation (SPR) seeks permission to make significant changes at Gas Works Park. The LPB will meet on October 15, 2025 at 3:30pm Pacific Time to further discuss SPR's request. And, we marked the 63rd anniversary of the October 12, 1962 Columbus Day Storm with some vintage audio from radio station KGW in Portland, Oregon and from meteorologist Ted Buehner.
