The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and Historic Seattle are continuing our partnership with our lecture series titled “Historic Talks in Historic Buildings.” The series brings public programs into historic places across Seattle—places rich with history and meaning—while highlighting the voices and scholarship shaping our understanding of the past. Speakers have been selected from the 2026-27 Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau, and together showcase the range of topics, questions, and discussions at the heart of historic preservation in Washington state. “Pavement and Plucky Girls: 1920s Tales from Washington’s First Highway,” presented by Teresa Andre Click here to purchase your ticket! Travel 1920s Washington State along one of the first modern highways—the Yellowstone Trail—which ran from here to Massachusetts. Along the way, meet the people and places grappling with the dizzying changes this new innovation brought. From the young people who gained new freedoms, including the women who stunned Pullman by driving without a male escort, to the bootleggers, bachelors, and flappers who drove, walked, and hitchhiked the newfangled road. Join educator Teresa Andre for a series of fascinating stories that lay at the dawn of our car-obsessed culture.
