West Seattle weekend scenes: Celebrating the future of the past
January 14, 2013 at 3:25 am | In West Seattle history, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 1 Comment
Now that author/historian Clay Eals has taken over as the first-ever executive director of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society – parent organization to the Log House Museum – he has a theme: Telling stories. And that’s exactly what he and museum visitors did during Sunday afternoon’s reception celebrating the start of his new role. SWSHS and the museum, after all, are all about the stories of our area’s past, and how to be sure they’re not lost as we hurtle into the future. You can visit the museum Thursdays-Sundays, noon-4 pm, by the way (61st and Stevens, a block inland from Alki Beach).

- our crew at scene says police with bullhorn trying to get somebody out of a house http://t.co/338XdGDUHq Permalink
- Scanner: Victim described as 31-y-old man hit with a pellet while out walking his dog. (This is a residential area) - http://t.co/338XdGDUHq Permalink
- @BDFsmom No. Sounds POSSIBLY like the pellet that hit the man came out of almost nowhere. Permalink
