Dolls & Gents Drill Team and Drumline

"To hold my hand is to hold my heart. I am The Dolls Drill Team where dreams start!" The Dolls & Gents Drill Team and Drumline gets Seattle parade crowds fired up with their eye-catching routines and clever cheers. Each member has a passion to perform, but they're also taught lessons that'll stick with them for life. That's important to the two women who started the team. They drilled together as young girls and now their daughters carry on the tradition.

Seattle's 150th birthday

Try saying sesquicentennial three times fast! Seattle will celebrate its 150th anniversary on Dec. 2. To mark the occasion, our friends at the Seattle Municipal Archives have partnered with the folks at HistoryLink.org, and together they've created a book exploring the history of the city from 1869 to 2019. You can see some of the artifacts found in the book on display now through December at the Seattle Municipal Tower Gallery on the Level 3 ConcourseĀ ā€” we took a look during the opening kickoff to the city's big 1-5-0!
