In Episode Three of Downtown Stories from the Downtown Seattle Association, producer/host Feliks Banel sits down at Westlake Park with former mayor of Seattle Norm Rice. Rice was mayor during the 1990s, when Seattle's retail core was in transition, with Pine Street between 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue becoming the front line in a vigorous debate over the city's future.

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).
