Madam(e) Lou

Friday, February 13, 2026 - 7:30 PM PST

Seattle has a founding mother they tried to erase. Meet the city’s hostess with the mostest… Madam Lou Graham.

 

Seattle: a town known for Frasier, Amazon, Starbucks, and tech bros. But it’s a city not known for its history, and that’s a shame because its history is downright bonkers. While its streets and buildings honor its founding fathers, there is a founding mother who has been written out of the history books because of her trade: Madam Lou Graham. Meticulously researched for over ten years, join award-winning playwright and performer, Kate Danley, for a funny, fascinating first look at one of Seattle’s most influential and erased power players. The truth is stranger than fiction, and no one could make this stuff up.


Content warnings: Tastefully approached, but recommended for ages 18+ due to mature subject matter.
