On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Russell Holter of Cultural Reconnaissance and Tacoma historian Michael Sullivan for an update following the conclusion over the weekend of the 2025 Nettie Asberry Archaeology Field School in Tacoma, Washington.

The pair reveal what artifacts were unearthed, what mysteries were solved (and which ones weren't) and what new questions were raised by the work done by students - under the guidance of professionals - at the Victorian home in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood. The 1887 house is owned by the Tacoma Association of Colored Women’s Clubs (CWC) and they are working to preserve it as well as study and interpret its history.

CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org. The radio station broadcasts from studios at historic Magnuson Park – located in the former Master-at-Arms’ quarters in the old Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
