Ever wondered about the neighborhoods that are part of Olympia's 150-year history and how they have evolved since the city's founding?

Please join renowned local historian and teacher, Roger Easton for a fascinating look at Olympia's history through the prism of its neighborhoods. Mr. Easton will give us a historical overview of the city's first neighborhoods, how the city grew in its early days and what critical events and trends shaped the neighborhoods we see today in Olympia.

Mr. Easton is Vice Chair of the Thurston County Historical Commission, the President of the Bigelow House Preservation Assn. (Museum) and President of the Ruddell Pioneer Cemetery Association. He is also active with the Lacey Historical Commission, Olympia Heritage Commission and the Historic Records Board. His articles have appeared in The Olympian newspaper and he researched and has appeared on several historical videos for TCTV.
