annual meeting -- Rainier Valley Historical Society

Come and find your story at this year's annual meeting for members and friends:

Saturday, April 14, 10am
Lakewood Seward Park Community Club, 4916 S. Angeline Street

This year we will be featuring the stories behind our new book — Images of America: Rainier Valley, from Arcadia Publishing. Learn how the project pushed us to move out of our comfort level, identify gaps in our collection, and reach out to the community to fill those gaps. Also, view displays honoring some special anniversaries and preview our 2012 project, Remembering Garlic Gulch.

The Barr Brothers, Titanium Sporkestra, Monogamy Party

Things are about to get rowdy at Columbia City Theater this week and we hope you'll join us. To prepare for Friday and Saturday's insanity, we're starting our show week off mellow on Thursday night with The Lower 48, Brite Lines, Lower Lights Burning and David John (of Handful of Luvin'), but after that there will be no turning back.

This week's lineup is here. On Friday, Seattle's punkest marching band and orchestra, Saturday is a five band bill of killer local rock, and Sunday we'll be slowing things back down and nursing our headaches and hangovers.
