About this episode
On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Marc Stiles for the latest in our series of "Exit Interviews" with people who've had long careers in media and/or history in the Pacific Northwest.
Marc Stiles recently retired after 13 years at the Puget Sound Business Journal. Prior to that, he spent decades at other newspapers in Washington and Oregon as well as in his native Iowa (which might explain his certainty when it comes to how to correctly pronounce "Des Moines"). This far-ranging conversation was recorded on Friday, January 16, 2026.
