I remember Dan Evans. Albert Rosellini was governor when I was a U of Wash. undergrad. I left the state for Calif., then Idaho, then Minnesota. the Berlin Wall crisis was the Cold War news in my Seattle history. I recognize the KTAC call letters. I may have been a listener but fancied KAYO with Al Cummins.
Pat and Bill Muncey probably, and their families can correct me if I'm wrong, represented the Republican party as it is today, a wing that was virtually unelectable at the time. (In reference to the Pat O'Day video)
Art Fletcher, as I remember, a very articulate Pasco City Councilman, was more or less in the Dan Evans camp. He lost the Lieutenant Governor's race, but got a position in the Nixon administration. To this day, an African-American has not been elected statewide in Washington state.
