Bring your lunch and join Northwest Room Historian Mindy Van Wingen in the Library's auditorium for a casual discussion of "Hop King," by Dennis M. Larsen. Hop King tells the story of Ezra Meeker, a pioneer whose fortunes rose and fell during the first boom of hops production in Washington Territory.

Copies of "Hop King" will be available for check out at the Main Library in mid-September. Contact the Northwest Room at 425-257-8005 for more information.
