I was a student in Shoreline from K through 12, 1960 to 1973, Sunset, Butler, and Shoreline. My question: Is this a permanent exhibit at the library?
I miss living in Shoreline. I am retired and living in Wahkiakum County, near the banks of the Columbia River. I would love to see this exhibit and would drive up north to see it in a heartbeat. Make a weekend of a trip to Shoreline and Richmond Beach. It looks like a really fine presentation!
I checked with Vicki Stiles. The exhibit will be up until March 31, 2020. From their website: The Shoreline Historical Museum / Heritage Center is located at 18501 Linden Avenue North, just one block west of Aurora Avenue North, in Shoreline, Washington
The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm; closed on Sunday and Monday. Thanks to the City of Shoreline and 4Culture, admission is free; donations are welcome.
I moved to RB in '52, attended RBSchool & Butler. At Butler, I & a few others 'spun records' at the activity center during lunches. My dad worked at the RB Great Northern Depot, our school class made a field trip on the train & back!! The RB Post Office was located at the corner of RB Place & RB Drive, mail went & arrived on trains, the PO workers walked to pick it up & send on bags attached to a platform close to the tracks, the post office car had an arm that snatched the outgoing mail from the platform with a hook! I was/am Very Sad that RB school was demolished along with the gym & the portables. the RB branch of the King County Library is now on the former school property.
I moved to RB in 1952, attended RB & Butler Jr Hi; at Butler I was one of the DJs who spun records in the activity center at lunch time! Every morning, I walked up the stairs & gauged my arrival by the position of the Princess Margarete in Puget Sound, got my haircuts in the basement shop below Love's pharmacy. I'm very sad that RB School is gone!! How many know that parents filed a lawsuit to keep RBS open, but the district proved that enrollment due to aging of residents & declining births made the move 'better', even if bussing was needed. My dad worked at the RB Great Northern station billing oil car shipments from Union Oil (think that was the name...) The RB post office got their mail from the trains in those days, the PO was at the corner of
