Information from Southwest Seattle Historical Society

Join the Southwest Seattle Historical Society for our Annual Spring Gala and Live Auction on Friday, April 11 from 6 to 8:30pm at Salty’s on Alki!

Enjoy live music from local West Seattle band The Potholes, delicious food, and a cash bar. Meet and mingle with neighbors, supporters, history makers, and those who collect and uplift the stories of the Duwamish Peninsula.

StoryTellers: A Peninsula and its People is a celebration of our vision to transform how people experience the Log House Museum. Celebrate with us as we announce details of a permanent, interactive exhibition planned for 2026 that connects the stories we tell to our visitor’s waterfront experience, highlights stories of diverse placemaking across the Duwamish Pensinsula, and encourages visitors to explore regional heritage sites.

Special guests include exhibit designer and contractor, Chris Fiala Erlich, and our partners at Seattle Housing Authority whose youth Video Club is helping our historical society capture stories of High Point.
