Lorang Palouse Pioneer Museum.

Seattle PI-“City Residents are asked to provide Memorabilia”

Kirkland—City residents are encouraged to bring stories, photographs and memorabilia to the Kirkland Heritage Society to help the organization prepare for the city’s 100th birthday. The society hopes residents can bring photographs, school yearbooks, event programs and anything that is part of Kirkland’s history. The society can make copies of family photographs.
