Please join us for our monthly speaker series, co-sponsored by the Seattle Public Library. We call the series “SouthWest Stories.”

It features unique presentations by notable speakers on topics relating to the history of West Seattle, the Duwamish Peninsula and the Birthplace of Seattle.

FREE to the public, each presentation takes place on the third Sunday afternoon of the month. The venue rotates among the five Seattle Public Library branches on our peninsula.

NOTE: Presently the “SouthWest Stories” series is on hiatus and will return in February 2018.

If you have ideas for additional speakers in this series, or if you would like to volunteer to join the committee putting this series together or to greet those who attend these presentations, e-mail us!
