What is the Northwest Resource Center for Preservation and what is the relationship to Historic Seattle?
Historic Seattle is a 34 year old, nonprofit organization dedicated to architectural preservation. Historic Seattle believes that buildings provide an essential link to the past, reminding us of who we are and where we came from. We fulfill our mission by engaging citizens and policy makers in considering the value of historic buildings, by offering public lectures and tours on a wide variety of neighborhood, architecture, and preservation issues, and by acquiring and rehabilitating historic buildings. The Northwest Resource Center for Preservation is an education and advocacy initiative of Historic Seattle that will support the organization’s mission. The Resource Center will be located within Historic Seattle’s headquarters at the Dearborn House, 1117 Minor Avenue, in the First Hill neighborhood of Seattle.
