Landmarks Nomination Workshop

Are you interested in learning about Seattle’s landmarks preservation ordinance or seeking procedures for dealing with local historic properties? What online research resources are helpful? Who is on the Landmarks Preservation Board? Historic Seattle provides a half-day workshop so that you can learn from Seattle's top experts about what you can do to protect the community's built environment and honor your neighborhood's heritage.

Learn the nuts and bolts of preparing a landmark nomination and the ins and outs of the process for designating landmarks. Find out where to go to do historical research. There will be an overview of Seattle’s diverse and unique historic resources, discussion of architectural styles, and a review of the preservation achievements of the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods and the Landmarks Preservation Board. Presenters include professional historians, architects, City staff, City Landmarks Preservation Board members, neighborhood activists, landmark owners, and Historic Seattle staff and volunteers. Please note that the workshop has moved to a half-day (rather than full-day) format. Historic Seattle will offer a free follow up session to this workshop focusing on hands-on training for historical research at local libraries and archives. Further one-on-one training for preparing a landmark nomination will also be offered to those actively preparing a nomination.
