Shelf Life is a Community Story Project recording and sharing oral histories in Seattle's Central District neighborhood. We believe community stories and neighborhood histories can influence conversations about change and shift the way this city imagines its future. We seek to amplify, preserve, and learn from the voices, experiences, and histories of Central District communities and contribute historical context to conversations about change in the Central District.
