Americana: 14 Nov 2010: Jonathan Raban's Seattle

The British author Jonathan Raban presents the programme from
Seattle. He talks to Seattle's former mayor, Greg Nickels, about
the city's tech and environment revolution. A husband and wife team
of loggers out in Washington State explain how the job's changed
since the days when lumber was the industry which made Seattle
rich. Dock owner and 'ancient mariner' Mike Wollaston discusses
Seattle's seagoing history. And we take a walk around the house
Microsoft built - a tiny cottage where Seattle's bright young
things show off the gadgets we'll all be using tomorrow.
