HISTORIC SEATTLE ANNOUNCES 2012 PRESERVATION AWARD WINNERS AND CEREMONY INFO

On May 15, 2012, Historic Seattle hosts its fourth Annual Historic Preservation Awards ceremony at Good Shepherd Center, a community asset saved, preserved and renovated by Historic Seattle. These yearly awards acknowledge recent successes in the local preservation field.
