J.P. Patches: Northwest Icon

Scratch the rust off a Northwest native and, underneath, chances are you'll find a Patches Pal. The J.P. Patches show aired on KIRO-TV, in Seattle from 1958-1981. If you grew up in the Puget Sound area during that stretch you watched the show. Simple as that. You would think that a program that ran for twenty-three years would have some interesting stories from behind the scenes. Stories that bring a smile, take you back to your days in short-pants, or leave you shaking your head with amazement. You would be right. Rediscover the magic of Julius Pierpont a true Northwest icon.
