The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation and the Planning Association of Washington are teaming up to present a statewide historic preservation and planning conference that will feature outstanding interdisciplinary educational sessions and a unique opportunity for planners and preservationists from around the State of Washington to share challenges, strategies and experiences. With the Power of Place as the conference theme, educational tracks will focus on the tools used by planners and preservationists alike to encourage and sustain practices leading to the development of unique places across Washington. Planned session topics include: the challenges of preserving historic bridges, preserving heritage barns, extending Transfer of Development Rights incentive programs to rural areas, design strategies for appropriate neighborhood infill projects, and a planning short course, as well as others.

In addition to educational sessions, several field sessions will enable conference participants to become familiar with the cultural resources of Chelan and the surrounding area, including the National Register-listed Ruby Theatre and the 1897 St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, a log-constructed structure designed by noted Spokane architect Kirtland Cutter.
