The October 1, 2023 episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY on SPACE 101.1 FM is an encore of our VJ Day live remote broadcast, and is a deep dive on the history and historical significance of Seattle High School Memorial Stadium - the entire 1947 stadium, not just the 1951 wall of names.

This coming Wednesday, October 4, 2023 the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board will complete a task begun in August: to decide the future of this memorial structure, built in 1947 to honor the sacrifice and celebrate the lives of nearly 800 Seattle Public School alums who died in World War II.

There’s still time to submit written comments by Tuesday, October 3, and to sign up to make comments in person or online during the Landmarks Preservation Board meeting beginning at 3:30pm on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.

Ep. 39: Memorial Stadium fate to be decided at Seattle Landmarks Meeting Oct 4 2023

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).
