Historic seattle led out- of -town tours to the skagit city light hydroelectric facilities, as well as to tacoma, and king county (bothell, kenmore, kirkland). We offered local tours on first hill and celebrated the centennial of ellsworth storey cottages in mt. Baker. We presented the documentary "the greenest building" and a panel discussion following it, produced a musical evening at washington hall, held a workshop on stained glass, offered a tour of the exhibit deco japan at seattle art museum, and produced a successful 8 part series digging deeper historic research series. In december we launched a major publication, transition and change on seattle's first hill. Free quarterly member meetings brought members and the public to sites of historic and architectural interest across seattle and king county (frye art museum, northwest school, trinity episcopal church, and sorrento hotel). The organization hosted its sixth annual historic preservation awards on may 13, attracting over 120 guests to acknowledge successes in the field. The event was sponsored by keybank with additional support from 4culture.
