Presented with the SEATTLE ROOM of THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Most known as R.H. Thomson, Reginald Heber Thomson traveled to Seattle by steamer in 1881, and by 1892, had become the City's head engineer. Historian William H. Wilson speaks this afternoon about Thomson's seminal influence on the city's infrastructure, as Seattle grew from a small town of wood-framed building to a more modern city—with a working sewage system, re-graded hills (bigtime), a municipal power plant, and a clean, reliable water supply. Shaper of Seattle: Reginald Heber Thomson's Pacific Northwest (Washington State University Press) is William H. Wilson's account of both the man and his considerable accomplishments. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Microsoft Auditorium in the Seattle Public Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). Special $5 parking coupons for the Central Library garage are available on a limited basis for those attending the program. For more information, please see www.spl.org, or call (206) 386-4636.
