Tacoma, like many seaport cities around the world, is an amalgam of peoples, ethnicities, and neighborhoods overlaid on a place that has been home to Indigenous people for hundreds of generations. Historian Michael Sean Sullivan will explore Tacomaโs immigration patterns, how neighborhoods and institutions have been shaped by waves of newcomers, and how these stories have helped create the City of Destinyโs cultural backstory and history. Michael will be joined by Puyallup storyteller Robert Satiacum who will share a traditional story.
Michael Sean Sullivan is a public historian, writer, and historic preservationist. He has taught Pacific Northwest history at the University of Washington Tacoma for more than 20 years. Michael is the creator of the website Tacoma History and co-produces the short-form documentary series ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ .
