About this organization
Mission
To maintain records of Southwest Seattle history and to promote heritage in the local community through education, preservation and advocacy.
About
The Southwest Seattle Historical Society is proud of our efforts to expand the stories we tell and the audiences we have reached. In 2018, we've done so through two new exhibits, 12 monthly speaker programs, two historic home tours, a history bike ride, and increased use and interpretation of our native plant garden and museum. Importantly, we have been able to expand our staffing for the museum to include expanded hours for our curator and a new collections registrar position. Significantly, we partnered with Subpop Records for the SPF30 music festival that took place on Alki Beach in 2018 to reach a larger, broader, younger audience of nearly 30,000 people. We are also proud of our partnership with the nonprofit, Moving Image of Puget Sound, to digitally preserve and share our VHS collection at the Northwest Film Forum's quarterly events.
