stewardship.
The Washington
Trust Statewide
Welcome to our website, browse our
programs and services, and join
the Washington Trust
in our work to save Washington’s historic buildings, downtowns,
and neighborhoods. Through a partnership with the National
Trust for Historic Preservation, you can now
become
a new member or renew an existing membership online!
We work to be an effective
problem-solver when local preservationists need our help on issues
that threaten historic buildings.
We play a critical
role in helping save these landmarks by using tools such as our
Most Endangered Historic Properties program and our
Valerie Sivinski
Washington Preserves Fund to provide media attention, technical
help, and a small amount of financial assistance to help insure
that they are saved. As a means of promoting historic
preservation through
heritage tourism, we developed an interactive
travel guide (above right),
Revisiting Washington:
A Guide to the Evergreen State. Our dedicated
staff and our
fabulous volunteer
Board of Directors make
all of this important work possible thanks to our members and
supporters. If you have any
questions, comments or suggestions, we'd love to hear from you!
Highlights of our recent work and
achievements can be seen in our

The
Stimson-Green Mansion
Thanks to the generous donation of
the Stimson-Green Mansion by Patsy Bullitt Collins in 2001,
the Washington Trust is
proud owner and steward of one of the most significant
residential landmarks in Seattle. For the first time in more than
two decades, we’re providing
regular public tours of the
Stimson-Green Mansion
and using the Mansion as a learning lab through programs such as
our workshop -- "Historic House Museum Issues & Operations"
co-sponsored with the American Association for State & Local
History.
The Stimson-Green
Mansion is one of Seattle's
premier wedding and special event venues.
Jewel
Hospitality is the exclusive caterer for
special events at the Mansion. Please call 206-524-4918 to
