Seattle’s waterfront is a place filled with history and stories. It’s where the Duwamish, Suquamish, Stillaguamish, and Muckleshoot People have resided since time immemorial. It’s also a place where people throughout history have found the conditions to build new lives and foster community. It’s been the setting of some of Seattle’s darkest moments of xenophobia and exclusion, but there are even more stories of solidarity and resilience in the face of oppression.
Join us as we shine a light on the diversity of stories and perspectives of Seattle’s waterfront through live storytelling, poetry, dance, and an onsite “History Portal” that will feature multimedia stories showcasing the diverse histories and perspectives of Seattle’s waterfront.
