Ep. 118: LIVE REMOTE BROADCAST from The Ryan House Ruins in Sumner, WA

Feliks Banel's guests on this LIVE REMOTE BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY from the ruins of the Ryan House in Sumner, Washington include Nick Biermann of Save Ryan House, Nancy Ryan Dressel (descendant of the builder of the Ryan House), Tina Patton Burnett and other grassroots historic preservationists and lovers of local history who have been working for nearly two years to try to save one of the oldest structures in the Evergreen State. It was part vigil, part wake, part celebration of life, and an attempt to process a serious amount of collective grief. The broadcast originated from 1228 Main Street in Sumner, Washington where the historic Ryan House stood for 150 years - until late this past Thursday night when it was demolished by the City of Sumner, against the wishes of one of the most engaged groups of citizens Sumner has seen in decades.
