YWCA East Cherry Branch/Phyllis Wheatley YWCA Girls Reserve (#80)

The Seattle YWCA was founded in 1894 to provide services to support and empower women. Named for Phyllis Wheatley, a famous Black poet from the Revolutionary War era, this branch was established in 1919 and has since provided social, educational, and employment programs for its original 150 African American members.
