SUMMARY:Shaped by Sea and Story: Exploring Washington’s Maritime Identity
DESCRIPTION:Shaped by Sea and Story: Exploring Washington’s Maritime Identity\nThursday\, September 17\, 2026\, 5:30 – 7:00 PM\nWashington State History Museum\nFREE\n\nJoin the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area for an evening exploring the many communities and cultures that have shaped\, and continue to shape\, life along Washington’s waterways. Through storytelling\, performance\, and conversation\, we’ll reflect on how living on the water has influenced who we are as Washingtonians. Together\, we’ll also explore how these histories and traditions are preserved\, shared across communities\, and knit into a shared sense of place.\n\nImage credit: Edmonds Waterfront by David Demarest.\n\nAbout the “We the People Lecture Series”\n\nThe “We the People Lecture Series” takes place on “Third Thursday” evenings when Washington State History Museum admission is free. The series invites everyone to explore what it means to be a Washingtonian and how that identity connects to the nation’s founding ideals of life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness. Each session will look at this idea from different perspectives\, helping us see the many ways people understand and experience Washington’s story. The series will team up with local cultural groups\, historical and heritage organizations\, Tribal museums\, and educators to encourage community participation and highlight the importance of sharing history. Programs will include a mix of talks\, demonstrations\, trivia\, and performances that combine learning with fun\, offering something for everyone to enjoy.\n\nThe “We the People Lecture Series” is a part of Washington State’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
