7th Street Kids Presents Annie KIDS @ 7th Street Theatre

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone’s hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire, Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
A great show to introduce children and adults of all ages to musical theatre! Show runs for less than one hour.

Exploring Maritime Washington Book Signing @ The Museum of the North Beach
Aug 12 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Exploring Maritime Washington Book Signing @ The Museum of the North Beach

The Museum of the North Beach will be hosting a book signing on Saturday, August 12 from 10am to 12 noon for Exploring Maritime Washington by author Erich Ebel.

Discover the popular destinations and hidden gems along Washington’s coastline, from the Mukilteo Lighthouse to the Wedding Rocks petroglyphs and beyond. Learn about the seafaring Coast Salish people, who navigated the waters of the Pacific Northwest for thousands of years, and the early exploration and settlement by European Americans in the late eighteenth century. Delve into the expansion and growth that led to the development of international ports and the modern maritime economy. View the enormous sternwheel snagboat W.T. Preston—one of a trio that kept inland waterways navigable for nearly a century—and hundreds of other fascinating sites. Join author Erich R. Ebel on a journey through the cultural and nautical history of the Maritime Washington National Heritage Area and beyond.

Erich R. Ebel was born in Spokane, Washington, and has had stories to tell ever since. During his ten years as a TV and radio journalist and twenty in communications and marketing, Erich pursued his passions—the history, heritage and culture of the greatest state in the Lower 48. His blog, videos and podcasts hold a treasure-trove of Washington facts and help promote local history worldwide. Learn more at www.washingtonourhome.com.

Erich spent several hours at the Museum of the North Beach in April 2021 doing research.  His 222 page book sells for $24.00 and is loaded with photographs including a segment about the Museum, some of our local history and the amazing story of the 1892 shipwreck of the British bark Ferndale at Copalis Beach.
