Feliks Banel’s guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Courtney Cooper Neese, owner with her husband of the historic Roslyn Theatre in Roslyn, Washington.
Courtney Cooper Neese joined CASCADE OF HISTORY and told the story of purchasing the Roslyn Theatre just four years ago, and how she's focused on being a "guardian of the culture" - and history - of a beloved community resource, from limiting changes to the look and feel of the interior, to learning how to make "gravy style" popcorn. Courtney Cooper Neese also broke some exciting news about the old Vogue Theatre in nearby Cle Elum, Washington.
The Roslyn Theatre has participated in the State of Washington's Historic Theatre Grant Program, and Courtney Cooper Neese explains how grants have helped restore, improve and preserve the structure and ensure its continued viability.
The next Historic Theatre Grant Program application deadline is coming up on Sunday, December 21, 2025. Historic Theatre grants are a program of the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) and are administered by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation.

Ep. 123: Clay Eals and Jean Sherrard on Egyptian Theatre and Hitt Fireworks, Haunted Market at Parkland School, Frank Abe on Surviving Game 5, plus Gas Works Park and Columbus Day Storm
Feliks Banel's guests on this LIVE BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY include Clay Eals and Jean Sherrard of Seattle Now & Then on this week's Seattle Times column about the old Hitt Fireworks factory in Seattle's Rainier Valley as well as the announcement that the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) will give up its lease on the Egyptian Theatre; Chrissie Richardson of the Parkland Community Association about the Haunted Market at Parkland Community Center - historic Parkland School in Pierce County - on October 18, 2025 from 10am to 4pm; and Frank Abe on his experience at the 15-inning Game 5 of the American League Division Series (ALDS) in Seattle last Friday night.
We also listened to audio from the most recent meeting of the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board (LPB) as the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation (SPR) seeks permission to make significant changes at Gas Works Park. The LPB will meet on October 15, 2025 at 3:30pm Pacific Time to further discuss SPR's request. And, we marked the 63rd anniversary of the October 12, 1962 Columbus Day Storm with some vintage audio from radio station KGW in Portland, Oregon and from meteorologist Ted Buehner.
