Come to the Greater Maple Valley Community Center on Thursday, February 28 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for a free public talk with radio broadcaster Harriet Baskas called “Washington on Wheels: Odd and Innovative Transportation Ideas from the Pacific Northwest”.
Though Boeing is the best-known innovator in travel to have emerged from Washington State, there are many others.
From canoe journeys to flying cars (that actually worked!), explore the history and culture of travel in Washington State. Author and broadcaster Harriet Baskas takes audiences on a tour of notable highlights of state transportation history, examining not just how we get around, but why we travel and where we might be going next.
Audiences will be invited to share family stories of migration, memories of first flights and unforgettable car trips, and consider a future of autonomous cars and vacations in space.
