Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Mark Knutzen, president of the Burlington Historical Society in the Skagit County town of Burlington, Washington.
In a far-ranging conversation, Mr. Knutzen describes the history of Burlington and Skagit County, as well as his group's effort to preserve and share artifacts and stories from Burlington and surrouding areas. The all-voluntter group is working with the City of Burlington, and hopes to create a history center within the city's old 1916 Carnegie Library.
Until then, the Burlington Historical Society presents special programs at least twice a year, including a World War II homefront history event taking place on Saturday, November 15, 2025 from 1pm to 4pm at the current Burlington Library at 820 East Washington Avenue. The event is free and open to the public, and will feature several speakers, including two who remember when the U.S. was plunged into World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor - and who were living in Skagit County at the time.

SPOOKY BONUS EPISODE: "Sleepy Hollow" Radio Drama Set in 1941 Seattle and Concrete, WA
On yet another SPOOKY BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we present archival audio from the October 2011 LIVE broadcast from Seattle of an adaptation of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." This version is set in pre-war 1941 Seattle and the Skagit County town of Concrete. The protagonist, played brilliantly by Jim Dever, is soft-boiled, runny-yolked private detective - and washed up high school English teacher - Irving Washington. See what we did there?
This adaptation was produced, written and directed by CASCADE OF HISTORY host Feliks Banel. It was performed live at Town Hall Seattle before a live audience, and was broadcast live on a local radio station. It was part of a nationwide radio drama project to produce unique "Sleepy Hollow" versions in all four time zones across the continental United States.
The cast includes many well-known broadcasters and performers, including Ralph "Jet Guy" Bevins, Lee Callahan, Chris Cashman, Pat Cashman, Tracey Conway, Jim Dever, John Maynard, and Dolores Rogers. Music was composed and performed by Rob Jones; live sound effects were designed and performed by Curtis Takahashi.
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. The radio station is located at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
