Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board

The Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board is a city-appointed group that recognizes and protects historically and architecturally significant buildings, sites, and districts. Its goal is to preserve Seattle’s cultural heritage by designating landmarks, ensuring their preservation during new development or renovations. The board reviews nominations, makes decisions on landmark status, and establishes guidelines to maintain the character and history of important places within the city. This effort helps maintain Seattle’s unique identity and historical continuity for residents and future generations.
