Stories of Pacific Powerland was a series of radio programs sponsored by the Pacific Power and Light Company between 1961 and 1978. These entertaining four-minute programs were stories narrated by Nelson Olmstead that dramatized events that took place in the northwest region of the United States. Many of the stories were based on historical events and real people, while others were based on legend. The scripts for the stories were researched, written and produced by Tom Worcester between 1970 and 1978.
