The Soundside team is on a break this week for the 4th of July holiday, so we’re revisiting some of our favorite segments of the year.

First up, when Seattle writer and illustrator Tessa Hulls started drafting the story of her grandmother’s life, she wanted to take on the role of neutral narrator, but that didn't last long.

We’ll hear about her graphic novel, Feeding Ghosts, and the complicated family history she unraveled. 

And then, we'll speak with the director of a documentary about renowned translator Bill Porter aka Red Pine. 

Guests: 
Tessa Hulls, author of Feeding Ghosts
Ward Serrill, filmmaker behind Dancing with the Dead
Bill Porter, translator and author

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

Producer picks: An Oscar nominee and Coast Salish Punk share the power of Indigenous stories

For months, one creature of the night has been drawing the fascination and exasperation of city leaders, police officers, and residents of one of Seattle’s trendiest neighborhoods. Some call him The Belltown Hellcat.

Maybe you’ve caught a glimpse of his souped-up 2023 Dodge Charger Hellcat zipping by, or the car’s revving and backfiring has kept you from getting a decent night of sleep. Or you could be one of his roughly 760 thousand Instagram followers – watching as he posts clips of his late night or early morning drives - going upwards of 100 miles per hour.

Needless to say, city officials and police are not pleased. And requests of him to quiet down - have been ignored. Since March, Hudson has been hit with two charges of reckless driving.

And last week, a Seattle Municipal Court Judge fined him over $83 thousand dollars for not removing the noise-enhancing modifications that violate the city’s noise laws.

Seattle Times reporter Paige Cornwell joins Soundside host Libby Denkmann to share an update on how the Hellcat ended up in hot water.
