🎙️Tacoma's Forgotten Legacy: The Blackwells with Pretty Gritty Tours founder Chris Staudinger.
In this episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, we're joined by Chris Staudinger, the passionate founder of Pretty Gritty Tours, to dive deep into the rich history of Tacoma, Washington. Chris introduces us to the Blackwell family, one of the most significant and influential families that helped shape Tacoma’s destiny in the late 1800s. Despite their major contributions to the city, the Blackwells have somehow slipped through the cracks of local history. Their iconic mansion still stands on Broadway Street as a testament to their great charity, yet their story remains largely untold—until now.
Chris shares the inspiring tale of William and Alice Blackwell, whose altruism and community efforts laid the foundation for Tacoma's future. Plus, get an inside look at the founding of Pretty Gritty Tours, and learn how you can explore more of Tacoma’s hidden history at prettygrittytours.com. Join us as we uncover the stories that make Tacoma more than just a place—it’s a community woven with history and heart.
