In this episode we check in with Maggie Kase, the newly-named Executive Director of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, who shares her journey into that role and her vision for the organization. And with the Log House Museum's 25th anniversary this year, we explore the history of this storied structure before it became a museum. Plus, the People of West Seattle reveal what a museum of their own lives might look like.

In this episode, we mix and mingle with members of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce who recently gathered at the Log House Museum, and hear from people volunteering their time and effort to build The Heron’s Nest, a community-led project where giving back is being taken to new heights.

This episode marks an all-new season of All Ways West Seattle, and a new partnership with the Southwest Seattle Historical Society. What better topic to begin with than the Historical Society itself? 

We’ll start with origin stories from the early days with Gini Stimpson, daughter of Elliott Couden who led the vision for a local historical society. Next we hear from Maggie Kase, the Historical Society’s current Curator and Interim Executive Director, about what’s in store for the organization and Log House Museum in the near-term. And we also chat with Board President Kathy Blackwell about the value of community connections and plans for the future.
