Tacoma stories

My name is Michelle and I graduated from Stadium High School, class of 1975. I had the privilege of growing up in Old Town Tacoma, with its rich heritage and diverse community, dreaming of the day when I would enroll into high school and enter the grand castle. I bought this blanket at the 100-year anniversary celebration of Stadium High School in 2006, where former and new graduates came together once again to wander the halls of this magnificent structure. It is my honor to donate my blanket to the works of Marie Watt.
