Althauser Rayan Abbarno partner, Peter Abbarno, recently attended the re-dedication of Washington Hall on the Centralia College campus in honor of Centralia’s founder, George Washington. The City of Centralia is the largest city in America founded by a former slave and African American couple.

“If there is a place in this world where there is peace, I will find it,” George Washington. And, he found it right here is Lewis County in the City of Centralia.

Former Washington State Supreme Court Justice Gerry Alexander gave the keynote and historical perspective; along with Centralia College trustee Stuart Halsan, at the dedication of Washington Hall.
