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.
