Introducing Waterfront Histories

Seattle's waterfront is filled with many stories, both told and untold. Home to the Duwamish, Suquamish, Stillaguamish, and Muckleshoot People since time immemorial, it's also a place where ancestors from a myriad of cultures and backgrounds have built new communities based in solidarity and resilience. Learn about some of these stories, from Black oral history interviews, to videos of Indigenous Elders telling their stories, to archival photographs, and more!
