PLAN NOW TO ATTEND: WASHINGTON CELEBRATES PRESERVATION@50 on October 15, 2016 
The 50th Anniversary celebration of the National Historic Preservation Act is happening on Saturday, October 15, 2016. To celebrate this pivotal event in the historic preservation movement, you are invited to join State Historic Preservation Officer Allyson Brooks and DAHP Staff at Washington Celebrates Preservation@50 at noon on the 15th at the historic Everett Theatre in downtown Everett. On that date in 1966, President Johnson signed the Act into law with U.S. Senator Henry Jackson close at hand. Everett is the site of the event in recognition of the large role played by then Washington Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson in shaping the legislation and seeing its passage through Congress to the President's desk. Jackson was born and raised in Everett and his political life had a great influence on the city and state. Doors for the event will open at noon on October 15 with light refreshments available. The program will start at 12:30 and end at around 1:30. Everett preservationist Jack O’Donnell will lead a walking tour of the Downtown Everett Historic District following the program and a slice of cake. The Everett Theatre is located at 2911 Colby Avenue in Everett 98201: http://www.historiceveretttheatre.org/ The event is free and open to the public. However, an RSVP is requested to help us plan for the event. Send questions and your RSVP to: Beverly.Ubias@dahp.wa.gov and include "Preservation@50" in the subject line and the number of persons attending.
