All Over the Map: How did Mount Adams get its name?

Mike Lombardi, in-house Boeing historian 

On this week edition of All Over The Map, a “lightning round” of updates on a number of recent stories about local history covered by KIRO Newsradio and MyNorthwest.

KIRO Newsradio caught up with a Seattle resident known for taking very long walks right here at home, seeing the city and the region from a unique perspective – and then sharing it with others through photos and tours.

Austin Watson retired after a long career at Boeing, and he now lives with his wife in Downtown Seattle. He wears comfortable clothes and serious walking shoes because on a good day – which means pretty much every day – he’ll easily cover 10 miles on foot. He also owns decent rain gear, because he’ll often take his long walks rain or shine – which is something of a given in the Pacific Northwest.

Daniel J. Evans, who served three terms as governor of Washington, has died at the age of 98. He was the last Republican to serve as the state's governor. 

This week, the celebration of the centennial of the 1924 around-the-world flight is about to conclude with a series events around Seattle. Feliks Banel thinks there should be more of these events sooner rather than later.
