Soundside is revisiting a few of our favorite stories this holiday week, and today, we’re taking an architectural tour of Seattle. 

First stop, the backstory behind Capitol Hill’s iconic Volunteer Park Reservoir – which isn’t just a pretty pool, but an emergency stopgap. 

Then, the often-overlooked story of legendary architect Minoru Yamasaki as told by his granddaughter, Katie Yamasaki, author of "Shapes, Lines, and Light: My Grandfather's American Journey."

And finally, we’ll visit a Seattle secret garden and fall in love with the backstory that made it possible. 

Guests:

  • Jennifer Ott, chair of the Volunteer Park Trust
  • Alex Chen, director of drinking water at Seattle Public Utilities
  • Katie Yamasaki, author of "Shapes, Lines, and Light: My Grandfather's American Journey."
  • Ben Streissguth, caretaker of Streissguth Garden
