APA's 2014 Great Places in America are Historic

The American Planning Association (APA) has announced their 2014 list of Great Places in America: https://www.planning.org/greatplaces/. Sub-categories include Great Neighborhoods, Great Public Spaces, and Great Spaces. This years listing identifies Fremont in Seattle as a Great Neighborhood and Rainier Vista on the University of Washington campus as a Great Public Space.   APA's increasingly visible Great Places in America program raises the profile of locations in our nation that are truly iconic in representing successful and noteworthy places and to visit, live, and enjoy. Each year, the program's listed streets, neighborhoods, and spaces are historic places or places that have preserved elements of the past. Over the years, Washington State has been well-represented in the listings including Browne's Addition Historic District in Spokane, Downtown Walla Walla, Point Defiance Park in Tacoma, Pike Place Market in Seattle, and Esther Short Park in Vancouver.
