Raise a glass to Seattle! The city celebrates its 150th anniversary on Dec. 2. To mark the occasion, we visit the Seattle Municipal Archives and delve into the city's past. Also, we explore the evolution of Seattle's Central District, a neighborhood beloved for its rich culture. And we visit what may be the city's last working family farm. Plus, find out what a descendant of Chief Seattle thinks of the sesquicentennial and hear from former Seattle SuperSonics coach Lenny Wilkens, the man who put Seattle on the map as a "championship city." Finally, see how well you know the town by taking a trivia challenge! Host Dennis Bounds has all these stories from Seattle City Hall.
