The popular 7 Stories live storytelling series will return to the Highline Heritage Museum in Burien in 2026, offering monthly evenings of live, personal storytelling designed to build community, empathy and connection.
Each event will feature seven storytellers, sharing seven real stories, with each storyteller given seven minutes to present.
“They are not a theatrical performance, but true life stories from your friends, acquaintances, or someone you have never met,” organizers said. “These stories are told from the heart.”
The free series is described as a welcoming space for authentic, first-person stories that reflect the diversity of our local community.
