"Humanities" is not a household word. It should be. Humanities Washington helps us to understand who we are, to appreciate the stories of others, and to enter more deeply into what it means to be human.

Bedtime Stories

Literary Gala Raises Funds for Humanities Washington’s Work

nullSince 1999, Humanities Washington has hosted Bedtime Stories, a literary celebration featuring critically acclaimed Northwest writers unveiling original short stories created specifically for a dinner gala. The annual event raises funds for Humanities Washington’s work of sparking conversation and critical thinking across the state.

National Book Award winner Charles Johnson has called Bedtime Stories “the region’s premier literary event.”

The list of authors who have participated in Bedtime Stories reads like a who’s who of the Northwest literary scene, ranging from novelists like Tom Robbins, David Guterson and Garth Stein, to poet laureates Sam Green and Kathleen Flenniken.
