Mossback's Northwest

Just because you've done a history segment doesn't mean the story is over! Join host Knute Berger as he answers reader mail, uncovers new details from the past and offers commentary about the region's most intriguing stories.

Fifty years ago, Seattle was in the middle of a major economic crisis, the "Boeing Recession." Despite setbacks, the city made major progress in shaping the city we know today. We've faced tough times before the current pandemic and economic downturn and each time, the people of the Pacific Northwest have risen above the challenges.

The 2022 Mossback Special revisits the iconic and determined people of our history, the folks who did it when it “couldn't be done” — like the Smith family, who built the Smith Tower, and Bertha Knight, our first female mayor. The Pacific Northwest has always been a home for pranksters, misfits and people who made their own special mark on history
