Seattle Nice

Does historic preservation in Seattle go too far?

Erica Barnett, Sandeep Kaushik, David Hyde Season 2 Episode 5

Today we bring you a lively debate on the future of Seattle's past after the city council acted this week on a mid-century modern former bank building on Denny, which is today a Walgreens.

In a rare moment of agreement, Erica and Sandeep both think the city needs to find a way to tear down more landmarked buildings like that one to make way for more affordable housing or other uses.

Guest Chris Moore, who directs the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, defends landmarking against the Seattle Nice onslaught.
