WHAT IS HISTORY? Is it something that happened many years ago? What about five minutes ago? History is happening all around us, every day.

Yesterday, the City of SeaTac hosted its State of the City Address at The Roadhouse by Angle Lake Station. The event, themed “Ready to Welcome the World,” also served as the seasonal grand opening of the SeaTac Farmers Market and featured live music, food, community resources, and giveaways.

Moments like these become part of our shared community story — the history we are creating together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZLx6koANOo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Today's Date in History
June 4th, 1919

The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States and its states from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of s*x, in effect recognizing the right of women to vote. The amendment was the culmination of a decades-long movement for women's suffrage in the United States, at both the state and national levels, and was part of the worldwide movement towards women's suffrage and part of the wider women's rights movement. The first women's suffrage amendment was introduced in Congress in 1878.
