Wide-eyed children queue up to greet Santa at Salishan Community Center, located in the East side Salishan neighborhood, prior to Christmas, 1944. The community center helped youth become involved in a variety of activities, such as scouting, crafts and boxing. Salishan was a housing development built to help solve the problem of lack of housing for war workers and military families and was dedicated in February 1944.
