Dick Balch, Jack Roberts and Vern Fonk pitchman Rob Thielke

Before Seattle's huge growth spurt (or actually spurts, because there have been several periods of rapid growth), it was for the most part, a small quirky town.  
Much like Portland was in the past, it was known for creativity.  There was even an SNL like show known as Almost Live, which highlighted and poked fun at it's uniqueness. 
One thing that is truly missed by those of us who have lived here for over 25 years, is the zany TV commercials, some of which can be seen in this video.
