SUMMARY:Let’s Talk Local History: Episode 2
DESCRIPTION:Wed, Nov 12 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM\n\nIssaquah Train Depot 78 1st Ave NW, Issaquah, WA 98027\n\n\nEarly Influencers: Bush, Pickering, Sylvester, and Gibson\n\n\nAbout the event\n\n\n\nIn the second episode of our multi-episode series, we take a closer look at four families who played significant roles in Issaquah’s early years. Click here for more information on the Issaquah History Museum website. ( https://ab-pugetsoundspiano-new.squarespace.com/instructor-recital-series )\nThe Bushes, the first permanent settler family in the valley. They set up the first school and developed strong ties with local Indigenous peoples.\nThe Pickerings, whose barn still stands today and is perhaps the most enduring artifact of our agricultural beginnings.\nThe Sylvesters, a father and son whose humble beginnings as Issaquah’s third Station Agent preceded the financial force they were to become and whose legacy retains a strong presence even today; and\nThe brothers Gibson and their families, who have civil leanings and strong character, impacted the lives of many throughout the greater Issaquah area, and whose living legacy includes the majestic Ginkgo tree that stands on the east side of Front St. just south of Sunset Way.\n \nAttendance is free. For those who are able, donations are accepted.\n\n\n\n\n
