Episode 3: What Was Lost Echoes of Expo

    • History

The pursuit of progress can be both noble and complex. What was lost and who was forgotten to make way for Expo ’74 and Spokane’s urgent renewal? 
“Because the buildings no longer exist, it's harder to see the history of the people who helped Spokane grow and prosper in the early 20th century. It may not have been pretty, but it was an important part of making Spokane what it was then, and therefore, what it is today.”
- Steven Bingo, archivist at Eastern Washington University
