For Capitol Hill, the summer months preceding the 1918 Flu outbreak in Seattle were a whirlwind of war-time patriotism, soaring rent, a lesser known but more controversial quarantine than the that of the flu, and so much more. Read more on our blog: capitolhillpast.org/single-p…

After my @jseattle article for @CapitolHillPast I sent feedback to the @WAStateArchives to correct records. Both now list the groom's name as Ed Foster instead of C. D. Foster. 🤵🏿🎉🕺🏿💃🏼 digitalarchives.wa.gov/Recor… Ripples from my #lovingday research

In October of 1905, residents of the pike/pine area complained of the potential "bad effect" a police station would have on Broadway High School students. Wow. 115 years later and this is still a problem. Some things just don't change. #PoliceReform #DefundSPD #CapitolHillHistory
