What do tsunamis, sewage, and salmon have to do with each other? And what do they have to do with archaeology? Find out at a Burke Museum program at on Sat., Oct. 14, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the West Point Lighthouse in Discovery Park. Check in at Discovery Park Visitor Center, 3801 W. Government Way, at the park entrance.
Specialists from the Burke Museum's Archaeology Department and Seattle Parks and Recreation will describe the site before the West Point Lighthouse was ever built. Find out about the 4,200-year-old Native American village, take an interpretive hike to learn about the cultural and natural history of West Point, try your hand at archaeology activities for all ages, and follow an archaeologist on a unique walking tour through the sewage treatment plant - and learn about the old archaeological site that lies below.
This event is free and is co-sponsored by the Burke Museum and the Seattle Parks and Recreation. Come prepared for rain.
