The Centennial Celebration for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at the University of Washington is coming to an end October 27. If you haven’t seen the exhibits celebrating the centennial and can’t make it to the UW campus before they shut down, your next best bet is to come to the State Library October 22 in Tumwater to hear from the person who’s been behind the creation of these exhibits.

Carla Rickerson, the Pacific Northwest Curator at the UW, will talk about life in 1909 Seattle and the impact that the AYPE made on the Pacific Northwest.

The event starts at 6:30 p.m., with the doors opening at 6. The State Library, a division of the Office of Secretary of State, is located at 6880 Capitol Boulevard S. in Tumwater. For more information about the presentation, call WSL events at (360) 704-5269 or e-mail wslevents@secstate.wa.gov .
