Historic Talks in Historic Buildings
Lecture series in partnership with Historic Seattle
May 7
6:00 pm Whiskey Tasting
7:30 pm Lecture
Together with Historic Seattle and Humanities Washington, we are pleased to continue our historic lecture series, “Historic Talks in Historic Buildings.” The series brings public programs into historic places across Seattle—places rich with history and meaning—while highlighting the voices and scholarship shaping our understanding of the past. Selected from the 2026-2027 Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau, the speakers showcase the range of topics, questions, and discussions at the heart of historic preservation in Washington State.
“How Whiskey Won Washington,” presented by Becky Garrison
Washington has a mixed history with liquor. Efforts to ban or restrict it date back to 1854, before the region even attained statehood, and “blue laws” remained on the books well into the 20th century. Yet a modern craft distilling boom is happening in the Evergreen State, and our distillers have emerged as forerunners in the burgeoning American Single Malt revolution.
How did whiskey inspire both trouble and innovation? How did its import by settlers affect Indigenous communities and other groups? And how did whiskey play a role in the very creation of our state? Join author and journalist Becky Garrison as she distills the history of the barrel and the bottle in our state. Meet Jimmie Durkin, an enterprising saloon owner, and Roy Olmstead, a former Seattle cop turned gentleman bootlegger, and other fascinating figures who turned to the business of liquor.
Special whiskey tasting add-on! Want to enjoy some local whiskey before learning about it? Join us for a special whiskey tasting hosted by Copperworks Distilling! Additional ticket required; tickets can be purchased at event link above.
