The Madison Park area
of Seattle is considered the Gold Coast by many.
But here, amongst the high rise buildings and luxury
condominiums, lies a real gem.
This is Pioneer Hall.
An organization formed more than 100 years ago
by the children
and grandchildren of our state's earliest settlers.
It's quite a location to visit.
Come into the hall and you can see artifacts.
You can see the films of early pioneer days, ancient paintings,
and just a wide variety of programs and opportunities
to learn more about the history of our state.
♪♪
When you visit Pioneer Hall, you'll see
all kinds of artifacts, household items,
books, paintings of early homes and cabins
tools that they used.
Just an opportunity to learn more about day-to-day life
of the first people who occupied this region of the world.
Of course, these pioneers
were not the first people to live here.
It's also about the
Native American peoples that lived here for generations
before the first Caucasians, Europeans,
and Asians arrived.

This is Pioneer Hall,
a place you can come and visit.
It's a blessing for each of us to have this wealth of knowledge
that's been given to us by this organization.
Pioneer Hall is truly one of my special
and most favorite places.
