About
In 2018, the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation once again announced our annual Most Endangered Places List at Vintage Washington, the annual fundraiser of the Washington Trust. This years event took place May 12th at the Georgetown Steam Plant in Seattle. Holding a semi-formal sit-down dinner for over a hundred people in a building without reliable electricity or water was a challenge to say the least, but it made the event all the more fun and mission-driven to host. In addition to covering the five properties featured on this years Most Endangered list, the evenings program also included several success stories from years past and highlighted the work of Seattle City Light in their stewardship of the Steam Plant. Through our 2018 Sivinski Fund, the Washington Trust continued to provide modest but meaningful grants to assist with local preservation projects around the state. $8,350 was awarded to five organizations across the state, including $2,000 awarded to the White River Valley Historical Society to fund the creation of a detailed Landscape Plan for Auburns Pioneer Cemetery. During the 20th century, the cemetery was adopted as a burial place for Japanese immigrants and their American-born children. Today, it remains a vital site with religious connections to the White River and Seattle Buddhist Temples and was honored in 2016 with King County and City of Auburn Landmark status. Recipients of the 2018 Sivinski Fund grant awards were publicly announced in December 2017 at the Trusts annual Holiday Benefit held at the Stimson-Green Mansion.In April of 2018, we held our 8th annual RevitalizeWA conference in Port Townsend where the 320 registered attendees enjoyed three days of educational workshops, tours, and opportunities to learn from and connect with peers. Included among the attendees was the Trusts second cohort of PreserveWA Fellows. This distinguished group of students and young professionals was selected through a competitive process as part of our initiative to bring fresh and diverse voices to the conference and our preservation network. The Fellows received free registration and travel assistance and were also paired with a mentor, selected specifically to match their interests and career objectives, to meet with at the conference and potentially thereafter. RevitalizeWA 2018 was our largest conference to date thanks in part to the Port Townsend Main Street Program for serving as our local hosts. We are proud to note that it brought an influx of nearly $140,000 in local economic impact.In July of 2018, we held our seventh-annual Youth Heritage Project at North Cascades National Park (NOCA). This year, the students were asked to investigate, analyze, and make suggestions on a significantly consequential real-world issue at the Park: the relicensing of Seattle City Lights Skagit River Skagit River Hydroelectric Project. As part of that process, Seattle City Light is required to provide mitigation to compensate for the intrusion of the facilities within NOCA. After a crash-course introduction to NOCA, the students then considered potential mitigation options for continuing operation of the hydroelectric project. For their final projects, students worked in eight groups to develop specific mitigation proposals for the upcoming relicensing process and presented them at the concluding Town Hall. With generous funding from the National Park Service, the Washington State Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation, and 4Culture Sustained Support, among others, we again offered this program free of charge to both students and teachers.In 2018, we continued to implement capital improvements focused on replacing the domestic water supply system in our landmark headquarters Stimson-Green Mansion. We largely completed the second phase, which including replumbing the remaining six bathrooms in the house and the kitchen and laundry room areas. Once again, we strategically scheduled and completed the project with minimal impact to our event schedule and building tenants.
