In this episode of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, Shea and Jody embark on a delightful adventure through the iconic Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington, a building that looks more like a castle than a high school. Join us as we dive into the fascinating history of this architectural wonder, originally designed as a luxurious hotel for the Northern Pacific Railroad before being transformed into a public school in 1906.
Our hosts share their excitement about the Pretty Gritty Tours, the company behind this unique experience, and reveal what makes their tours stand out from the rest. With humor and storytelling that captivates, Chris Staudinger, the tour guide, brings the history of Stadium High to life, from its stunning views to its eerie legends. Shea even shares her experiences as a newly minted tour guide, showcasing the hidden gems of the school, including the underground pool and the mysterious attic.
Whether you're a history buff, a fan of the cult classic film "10 Things I Hate About You," or just curious about Tacoma's quirkiest spots, this episode is packed with laughs, insights, and a few ghost stories to boot!
