In Episode One of Downtown Stories from the Downtown Seattle Association, we explore the roots of the modern city in its 19th and early 20th century history, from the 1850s to World War II. Leonard Garfield, Executive Director of the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), joined producer/host Feliks Banel for a conversation at the foot of Yesler Way, and in the shadow of the Alaskan Way Viaduct.

Downtown Stories is a podcast series exploring the past, present and future of downtown Seattle and commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Downtown Seattle Association (DSA).
