As Seattle celebrates its sesquicentennial (150th anniversary), we peer into the city's time capsule, also known as the Seattle Municipal Archives. The department is responsible for the safekeeping of 15 decades worth of priceless materials. But it's not just a repository of musty documents. Within its vault are the hidden backstories of Seattle's neighborhoods and the characters that helped define it. Feliks Banel travels back in time to explore the Emerald City.
