Process & Criteria
Every year, many historic properties across the state of
Washington are threatened by demolition or neglect.
Collectively,
these properties contribute to the quality of life we enjoy and
shape the daily experiences of living in small towns, large cities
and rural countryside across the state. It is an understatement to
say that our historic resources help to paint a distinct
Washington portrait, and it is certainly no overstatement to
conclude that their loss would leave large gaps in that canvas.
The Washington
Trust for Historic Preservation has, since 1992, maintained a Most Endangered
Historic Properties List in our state. Bringing attention
to threatened buildings, sites and places has raised awareness in
communities statewide, and resulted in many success stories.
The Washington
Trust announced its 2008 Most Endangered Historic Properties
List at a
press conference in
Tacoma on May 27, 2008 as part of the Trust's Preservation
Month activities. Learn more
about the
process and criteria for inclusion on the
list.
