About Us

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We recognize that the Shoreline Historical Museum exists on land stewarded since time immemorial by the dxʷdəwʔabš Duwamish Tribe and other Coast Salish Peoples. We honor with gratitude the land itself and its caretakers.

DEAI STATEMENT 

We at the Shoreline Historical Museum strive to create an organization that is diverse, equitable, accessible, and inclusive.  We use a model that:

• Identifies the diversity in the communities of which we are a part.
• Establishes equity by prioritizing needs of historically under-served communities.
• Creates access based on community needs.
• Develops inclusion by fostering belonging.

We address these goals in part by:

• Institutional growth through community, board, and staff input
• Community based exhibits and programs
• Using our resources to support individuals and community organizations
• Financial contributions to Black and Indigenous organizations as well as those that support ending homelessness including Duwamish Tribe, Grounded, JHP Legacy, Penny’s Place, and Center for Human Services.
