Highline Heritage Museum

Their mission is to collect, preserve and tell the stories of the Highline region and its people. A few of their major exhibits include; Southcenter Mall development, Normandy Park, Three Tree Point, Latinos in Highline, Hard Times during the Great Depression, area schools, the effects of the airport and our early immigrant settlers. It was great to see Jerry Robinson’s contribution of the Highline Times; I purchased many ads early in my real estate career. The Heritage Museum received funding to construct a new building from local residents, WA Capital Heritage, and a $1M grant from the Kingdome bonds. In 1987 the legislature agreed any surplus bond money would go to support heritage projects. I sure enjoyed visiting the museum and plan to return soon!
