Mossback's Northwest

A look back on the very best of Mossback's Northwest.

Mossback's Northwest explores our region's wild past in new special, Northwest Wild Times. Many people consider the Northwest a natural refuge, a place we can escape to enjoy recreation and inspiration in the wilds. Yet while we love the outdoors, the wilds have their own history. Let’s explore the forgotten landscapes, prehistoric animals, and the passionate admirers of the Northwest’s wild past.

Mossback himself, Knute Berger, hosts a two-hour celebration of the The Very Best of Mossback’s Northwest. Join Knute and series producer Stephen Hegg as they look back at some of the most memorable episodes from the first six seasons of the show. And get a sneak preview of the fun stories coming soon in Season 7!

In this 30-minute Mossback’s Northwest special, celebrate the stories and myths of our waterways. Nothing helps define the coastal Pacific Northwest more than the wet. From rainforests to the Salish Sea, the Pacific to Puget Sound, we take a tour of watery episodes in our history.

Hear from Mossback himself about what this new season has in store and get a behind the scenes peek at the making to the series. Join us for this virtual event.

The 2022 Mossback Special revisits the iconic and determined people of our history, the folks who did it when it “couldn't be done” — like the Smith family, who built the Smith Tower, and Bertha Knight, our first female mayor. The Pacific Northwest has always been a home for pranksters, misfits and people who made their own special mark on history

Fifty years ago, Seattle was in the middle of a major economic crisis, the "Boeing Recession." Despite setbacks, the city made major progress in shaping the city we know today. We've faced tough times before the current pandemic and economic downturn and each time, the people of the Pacific Northwest have risen above the challenges.
