Hi! We're Local #887
We represent the costume shops, backstage wardrobe crews, and child guardians of Western Washington.
"We, the Theatrical Wardrobe Union of the City of Seattle, deem it eminently right that we should organize, to achieve by Organization and Mutual Endeavor, the improvement of the social and economic condition of the workers identified with the theatrical and amusement industries, to insure the maintenance of a fair rate of wages for services rendered; to assure the employment of all members in these industries, and to secure to ourselves the unity of action such benefits as are rightfully ours, pleading ourselves in all difficulties to accept wise, honorable, and conservative mediation, that equity may be maintained."
- Preamble to the Local 887 Constitution, 1961

Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we live and work on the unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoples. We understand that despite the promise of designated tribal land according to the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855, the original stewards of this vast region were forcibly removed by European-American settlers through colonial policy, discriminatory laws, and the burning of traditional villages. We honor the descendants of The Duwamish who continue to live in the Seattle area and among the Suquamish, Tulalip, Muckleshoot and Lummi peoples. As an Arts organization, we respectfully acknowledge the contributions of Indigenous artists of all genres. We also recognize that capital was gained from many forms of exploitation.
We stand with the anti-racism work that has been done in the past and continues today. We respect Indigenous Sovereignty
By this acknowledgment we hope to connect the history of this region to the present.
