From 1984 to 1999, the KING 5 TV show Almost Live! used humor to capture the experience of living in this region. The show coincided with a time when the region was making headlines with its music scene, tech industry, and coffee culture. Incorporating comedy monologues, in-studio antics, and inventive taped sketches, Almost Live! produced a slew of enduring characters and hilariously unforgettable moments.

This paper visor, printed on rim with "Burger Gun" in orange bubble letters, was featured on a 1989 Almost Live! episode. The sketch "Burger Gun" is an advertisement for a restaurant that saves time by shooting food directly into the customer's mouth, with the tagline “Don’t slow down for the drive-thru. Speed up, for the modern answer!”
