We dive into the hidden world of Seattle Prohibition with local historian and author Brad Holden, who uncovers the city’s wild and rebellious past during the 1920s. From underground speakeasies and rum-running operations on the Salish Sea to corrupt officials and forgotten road houses, Brad shares jaw-dropping stories that reveal a bawdy side of Seattle history most people have never heard. Whether you're traveling through the Pacific Northwest by RV or just love untold tales from America's Prohibition era, this episode offers a fascinating look at how Seattle turned the lawless into legend. Tune in and learn why this rainy city was once one of the rowdiest hotspots for bootlegging in the country.
