On this bonus episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Alex Jensen, third-generation CEO of Burgermaster, the Puget Sound area drive-in restaurant chain, about the news today that the original Burgermaster in Seattle's Laurelhurst neighborhood will be closing permanently in February 2025.

The property has been sold and will be redeveloped; news of this potential closure was first shared with CASCADE OF HISTORY listeners when we did our first-ever LIVE REMOTE BROADCAST as the guest of Alex Jensen at this Burgermaster location in December 2025.

Please see the CASCADE OF HISTORY Facebook page for photos taken earlier today of the Burgermaster in Laurelhurst, and watch for news of another special LIVE REMOTE BROADCAST from that location in February.

CASCADE OF HISTORY is the only LIVE radio show presenting news and stories about people doing cool things with and for history in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. We talk about people, artifacts, books, maps, photos, places, landmarks, public lands, state and national parks, trails, highways, and the historic events that can bring us all together.

The show is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time on SPACE 101.1 FM (and streaming via http://www.space101fm.org ) from studios located on the shores of Lake Washington in historic Magnuson Park in Seattle, former site of Sand Point Naval Air Station (though sometimes CASCADE OF HISTORY originates from remote locations around the region). The podcast feed consists of the weekly broadcast, plus frequent bonus episodes with timely and topical interviews, vintage local audio or other Pacific Northwest history-related content - and sometimes even BREAKING NEWS.

Producer and host Feliks Banel is an Emmy-winning and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning broadcaster, and former deputy director of Seattle's Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI).
