Award of Excellence in Exhibitions, Washington Museum Association, 2024
On exhibit June 2023- September 2024
Once a mighty salmon spawning stream known by Coast Salish People as t?awi, Longfellow Creek has a storied past. People and this creek have been in a close relationship for many thousands of years, from when salmon first chose to make their home here, through intense urbanization in the late 19th and 20th centuries, through today when the creek and its people are beginning to tell a new story – one of renewed hope.
This exhibit developed by the Duwamish Alive Coalition and Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association features stunning photographs of the creek and its wildlife from award-winning photojournalist Tom Reese.
This exhibit was supported by 4Culture, the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture, ArtsFund, and ArtsWA.
