Today, Seattle is a UNESCO City of Literature – and it’s been a literary city since its founding. In fact, the first local library was created even before the city was officially incorporated.
Cascade PBS’s resident historian Knute Berger explored this history in a recent episode of the Mossback’s Northwest video series, but there are more pages left to turn.
In this episode of Mossback, Berger and co-host Stephen Hegg discuss their own love of libraries, the earliest books on Seattle’s shelves, the lasting literary impact of early pioneers Sarah and Henry Yesler and the unconventional couple’s remarkable connection to author Jack London.
