Title
English: Radio station KFOA at Rhodes department store, 1923
Description
English: Seattle's early radio stations were operated by individuals, churches, newspapers and stores. Radio station KFOA was operated by Rhodes department store. Shoppers could visit the second floor of the store and watch radio broadcasting in action. KFOA was the first station in Seattle to become part of a network, the National Broadcasting Company.

This photo, taken in 1923, shows performers at radio station KFOA. Like other radio stations of the time, it is very simply furnished and looks more like a room in a home.
