Yes Seattle back in the 60's 70's was a small market. We had a count on a local station on "Nightmare Theater" late at night. There must have been a lot of counts in various cities back then. I remember once when going to the Seattle center where the space needle is seeing this guy in his costume just walking around the grounds. He probably was making some public appearance there. This guy directed the childrens show JP Patches also and he sadly died at just age 55.Joe Towey was his name. Here's a clip of his introduction. I wondered if this was based on the Seattle count kzread.info/dash/bejne/h5uut9enda-oodY.htmlsi=msjIWj8-PAHKMVvw
