On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel digs into the "field tape archives" for part one of his 2015 conversation with the late John Spellman, the Evergreen State's most recent Republican governor. John Spellman passed away in 2018 at age 91. John Spellman was a King County Commissioner in the 1960s, and then served three terms as King County's first County Executive. He was elected governor in 1980, and served one term during those tough economic times. This far-ranging conversation was recorded in downtown Seattle on June 8, 2015. In part one, we talk about being elected governor in 1980, running against Dixy Lee Ray in 1976, and against Booth Gardner in 1984. We talk about the Forward Thrust project, including the construction and ultimate demise of the Kingdome – and about Spellman's support for President Richard Nixon. Part two will be presented in an upcoming BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY. CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time via SPACE 101.1 FM in Seattle and gallantly streams everywhere via www.space101fm.org.

Affordable Housing vacancies in Seattle rise while the homeless population grows

There is a disconnect between the high level of homelessness in Seattle and the high number of affordable housing units that are sitting unused at the moment. As of the end of last year, nearly 11% of affordable housing in the city were empty – more than 2700 apartments. . That’s more than five times the number of vacancies compared to 7 years ago. So what happened? Well, for many, affordable housing is, ironically, no longer the affordable option. A flattening of rents overall has made these units less desirable than many other market rate options. But even though these units are sitting empty, it’s unlikely they will be opened for Seattle’s growing homeless population.

For decades, Denny Blaine Park on Lake Washington has been a nude beach and a gathering space for Seattle’s LGBTQ community. After a recent lawsuit by a neighborhood group, the future of nudity at Denny Blaine is up in the air. A new plan from the city would split the park into two sections – clothing optional and clothing required. It’s part of a legal case which continues in a King County courtroom on Wednesday.
