Shoppers could visit the second floor of the store and watch radio broadcasting in action. KFOA was the first station in Seattle to become part of a network, the National Broadcasting Company.
This photo, taken in 1923, shows performers at radio station KFOA. Like other radio stations of the time, it is very simply furnished and looks more like a room in a home.
