Our Mission

At the Magnolia Historical Society, we work with community members to research and write the history of our neighborhood. With our award-winning books, we strive to:

Initiate interest in Magnolia history - gather and protect it for future generations.

Invest in community historical research and writing of Magnolia history that encourages historic projects and events.

Inspire the Magnolia community to gather acquisitions for our photo and document archives at University of Washington Special Collections.

Encourage a more accurate “sense of place” through our work preserving the stories and images of Magnolia.
