The real work of Humanities Washington is to fund an ongoing enquiry into understanding the human experience. Through its grants and programs, it values the agony and sweat of entire lives’ works and collectively creates hope that the human spirit will endure and prevail.

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.
