Wednesday, May 9, 2018 is Give Big day in King County and the Seattle region. Give Big is a charitable giving event benefiting non profit organizations of many differing sizes and missions. Contributions received on May 9 go directly to the designated non profits.
The Northwest Railway Museum is participating, and has designated the Northern Pacific Railway parlor car 1799 preservation project as its recipient. 1799 is in the process of being recovered from a beach on Whidbey Island on Puget Sound and moved to the Museum in Snoqualmie.
Check out some of the progress over the last two weeks, and please Give Big today!
