Jeff Obermeyer

7 p.m. Sept. 22, Third Place Books

Obermeyer will talk about his book “Seattle Totems.” Before major-league professional sports came to the Northwest, Seattle had a rich minor-league sports history. In the winter, Saturday afternoons were for college football, but the nights were for hockey. From the late 1950s through the mid-1970s, hockey could only mean one thing—the Seattle Totems. Led by Guyle Fielder, the Totems won three Western Hockey League championships. The book store is located at 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park.

Bruce Meyers

7 p.m. Sept. 23, Third Place

Col. Bruce Meyers will talk about his new memoir, “Reflections of a Grunt Marine.” Meyers’ career included WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The book store is at 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park.
