(Left to right) Jule Sugarman, president of the Alki Community Council, Libby Carr, co-chair Seattle Statue of Liberty Plaza Project, Larry Carpenter, representing Log House Museum, and Sarah Frederick, collections manager Log House Museum, are organizing memorabilia to be placed inside the Alki Time Capsule.
Items are being organized to be placed inside the Alki Time Capsule, which will not again see the light of day for 50 years.
The capsule will be sealed at the Log House Museum, then marched at bout 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, a block down 61st Street toward the water, just shy of the Alki Liberty Statue, where it will be placed under bricks that now sit atop stairs between Alki Avenue and the statue.
The ceremony is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
Astronaut Gregory C. Johnson West Seattle High School class of 1972 graduate will be honored and the mayor and city council will proclaim it "Gregory C. Johnson Day." Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis will do the honors.
Johnson piloted the Space Shuttle Atlantis launched May 11 of this year. He was with the fifth and final Hubble Telescope Mission.
Johnson will be presented with a bronze tribute plaque like the eight now embedded in cement stairs in front of the statue. Seven more are still available for a $2,000 donation.
