I'm starting this thread because I lived in Olympia, WA from 90-95 and I have fond memories of the music played on alternative radio at the time. I recently dug out an old tape I dubbed off the radio, and on it was 'Solar Sister' by The Posies, A Bellingham, WA band.
I know grunge was the thing at the time, but I always preferred this more power-poppy stuff, and stuff like Beat Happening. So I guess I'm trying to get a list going of bands/albums/songs from the Pacific Northwest, from that late 80s-early 90s time period, that helped craft that sound of the time.
