Description
4Culture’s Landmark Nomination Support funds research, documentation, writing, and presentation of local landmark nominations for historic places in Seattle and other eligible areas of King County, Washington. Individuals, groups, organizations, Tribes, and municipalities can seek support for preservation consultants, outreach, and related nomination expenses. The program aims to strengthen long-term preservation and stewardship while expanding public understanding of the county’s historic resources.
Priority goes to nominations addressing underrepresented aspects of King County history and projects serving or engaging underrepresented communities in preservation. Projects should tell the full story of historic places and create opportunities for historically marginalized groups to share their stories or work with historic resources. Public benefits can include free presentations, tours, access to research materials, community meetings, and groundwork for preservation planning.
