Did you know? Elliott Couden, founder of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society, also helped to found the White Center Lions Club. On August 30th, 1947, a photographer shot the Lions Club’s parade float alongside a man in a striking lion mask, believed to be another Lions Club co-organizer.
A real estate salesman, George E. Greenwood helped develop a local bank, Boys’ Club, and post office, later getting involved with the White Center Chamber of Commerce. As noted in his obituary, Greenwood was an honorary member of the club at his death in 1961, staying connected after his initial organizing efforts. He had lived in the White Center area for 57 years.
This photo is one of many that visitors can see at the “Beyond Alki” exhibit at the Log House Museum. The museum is open Thurs-Fri 12:00 – 4:00 pm and Sat 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.

“Beyond Treaties: Native Stories of Survival and Strength”
Explore Native resilience through the personal journey of John Halliday (Coyote), a Muckleshoot artist, speaker, and former tribal leader. After surviving a near-death experience and losing much of his sight, Halliday turned to traditional Native values of endurance and adaptation to remake his life through art, music, and storytelling.
Blending drumming, flute music, painting, and lived history, he shares how Native communities have survived beyond the signing of treaties. Audiences will gain a deeper understanding of Indigenous history, strength, and creativity today.
John Halliday is a Muckleshoot artist and speaker with expertise in Native cultures and Washington history. Halliday retired from the Bureau of Indian Affairs as Deputy Regional Director for the Navajo Region after serving as CEO for both the Muckleshoot and Snoqualmie tribes. He has shown his art at Lakewold Gardens, ANT Gallery, and the Sacred Circle Galleries of American Indian Art under the artist name “Coyote”.
John lives in Steilacoom.
