Southwest Seattle Historical Society’s Annual Spring Gala
Navigating our Past, Anew
Friday, May 3 2024, 6-8:30pm Salty’s on Alki
The rich history of the Duwamish Peninsula has shaped, and continues to shape, our community. This year, as we mark significant anniversaries — including the establishment of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society in 1984, the construction of the Fir Lodge/Alki Homestead in 1904, and the installation of the Belvedere/Admiral Viewpoint replica Totem Pole at the Log House Museum in 2014 — the Southwest Seattle Historical Society draws upon the significance of the past to navigate new strategic goals and initiatives.
Join us for our Annual Spring Gala, Navigating our Past, Anew, on Friday, May 3 at Salty’s on Alki.
