From the Southwest Seattle Historical Society:

RIVERSIDE HISTORY WALK FEATURING FRANK ZUVELA and JUDY BENTLEY

Tour Scheduled for Saturday August 28, 2010 – 10am

First generation Riverside resident Frank Zuvela will lead an interpretive walk through local history. Walk the old neighborhood of Riverside on the northwest side of the Duwamish River, below Pigeon Point and over the hill from Delridge. Settlement origins go back to the people of the Duwamish tribe, which were later settled by Croatian immigrants in the early 1900’s. They formed a multi-ethnic neighborhood of European immigrants where Duwamish camps and longhouses had once been. As the Duwamish River was straightened and dredged, the residential community of Riverside co-existed with manufacturing and shipbuilding. The tour is sponsored by the Southwest Seattle Historical Society and one of the most popular walks… an easy pace is set, with frequent stops and tales from Riverside of the past sixty years. Seattle poet and writer Richard Hugo wrote of his fascination with this community of fishermen in The Real West Marginal Way.

Donation requested… or free attendance with a new museum membership!

Meet in front of Global Diving on W. Marginal Place, the northern end of 17th.
