Join us to explore Seattle’s exciting history of local inventiveness in technological, civic, artistic, and political change, characteristic of metropolitan Seattle residents. This program is richly illustrated with images from patent drawings, New Deal public art murals, Century 21’s Space Needle, and the Amazon business empire. Why is this place so uniquely innovative? Is it the rain, the Big Dark, the University of Washington, or the global position on the Pacific Rim? Find out how Seattle became a vanguard in creating our modern world.
