Founder's Day is November 13th!

Stop by the museum this Saturday to celebrate! We will be having an Arcadia book signing event.

November 13th, 1851 was the day the Alki Landing Party arrived on the rainy shores of West Seattle aboard the Exact. Visit the museum to hear their story.



Also on November the 13th, SWSHS will be having our annual membership meeting. We are YOUR historical society, so attend and hear what we have accomplished this year, and what is coming up for 2011. Even if you are not a member, we encourage you to attend (and to join!)

The annual meeting of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society will be Saturday, November 13 from 10:30
a.m. to noon at the Southwest Branch of the Seattle Public Library, 9010 35th Ave. S.W.

Chris Moore of the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation will show images and talk about "Southwest
Seattle Landmarks: Present and Possible," detailing the structures in southwest Seattle that have already
become city or national landmarks and identifying buildings that might quality for future designation.

The membership meeting will begin at 10:30 with the program at 11:00, pastries and coffee provided. The
meeting is open to the public; members may vote in the business meeting. Membership information is
