Bellevue FHC: Mary Slawson's classes

NOTE from DearMYRTLE: The following was just received from our friends at the Bellevue, Washington Family History Center. This is the FHC that my Dad and his friend Bob Hage remodeled, repurposing it from a Boy Scout building to a nice-sized FHC. Please address all inquiries to the Center by calling 425-454-2690.
