The Year in Pictures: Memorable moments of 2023
In the last year in Seattle and western Washington, we witnessed moments of both heartache and joy. Loss and celebration. Community and resilience.
F
rom protests to floods, wildfires to pointe shoe fittings, we documented the lives and stories of Washingtonians as the year's events unfolded. In April, Indigenous survivors of the federal Indian boarding school system shared their experiences with U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, on the "Road to Healing" tour. In July, Wedgewood neighbors rallied to save a roughly 200-year-old ancient cedar tree, Luma, from development. In September, 57,000 Beyonce fans dressed to impress during the Seattle stop of her Renaissance tour.
Here are some of the images that stayed with us.
