Blyn historian’s life, works to ‘shine’ at February show in Port Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND — The life and work of Blyn historian Mary Ann Lambert, who lived from 1879 to 1966, will be celebrated throughout February at the Northwind Arts Center, 701 Water St.

The exhibit, “To Shine a Light on Something,” will be in place from Feb. 4-28, with several events planned this month.

Beginning today at 7 p.m., a joint reading will be given by poets Paul Nelson of Seattle and Peter Munro of Alaska.

Admission is a suggested $3 to $5.

From 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, the opening reception for the monthlong celebration in Lambert’s honor will be held.

Lambert was the daughter of a S’Klallam girl and a Swedish mariner-turned-farmer who recorded events on the North Olympic Peninsula from the Native American point of view.
