Producer picks: An architectural tour of Seattle
Manage episode 427035111 series 3303135
Soundside is revisiting a few of our favorite stories this holiday week, and today, we’re taking an architectural tour of Seattle.
First stop, the backstory behind Capitol Hill’s iconic Volunteer Park Reservoir – which isn’t just a pretty pool, but an emergency stopgap.
Then, the often-overlooked story of legendary architect Minoru Yamasaki as told by his granddaughter, Katie Yamasaki, author of "Shapes, Lines, and Light: My Grandfather's American Journey."
And finally, we’ll visit a Seattle secret garden and fall in love with the backstory that made it possible.
Guests:
- Jennifer Ott, chair of the Volunteer Park Trust
- Alex Chen, director of drinking water at Seattle Public Utilities
- Katie Yamasaki, author of "Shapes, Lines, and Light: My Grandfather's American Journey."
- Ben Streissguth, caretaker of Streissguth Garden
Relevant Links:
- KUOW: Why is there a reservoir in Volunteer Park?
- KUOW: Serenity, surprise, and delight: sharing the legacy of architect Minoru Yamasaki
- KUOW: The love story that grew Seattle's 'secret garden'
