2018 annual Report THE MISSION
Saving meaningful places to foster lively communities
In early 2018, Historic Seattle began working on a new strategic plan. As we thought through the goals and strategies that will guide us through the next five years, it became clear that it was time to update our mission to reflect our beliefs and the work we do every day. Carefully thinking through each word, we came to the statement you see above. Unlike the cause of historic preservation, it is simple. That is why we believe it is so apt. Preservation as a field may be complicated, full of complex standards and criteria to comply with, and it can take years to finish a rehabilitation project or resolve an advocacy issue. But, at its core, preservation is as simple as it gets: people want to be in places that have history, soul, authenticity, patina…places that are meaningful. As if we needed proof of that idea, our new mission statement was quickly put to the test. Our team was just getting used to the words when a development plan for the Showbox building took over Seattle’s news cycle. As we mobilized immediately to do everything we could to protect this iconic home for music and culture, it became obvious how much power lies behind the work described in our mission’s simple words. All year, these words have been at the heart of our work. As we move forward with our strategic plan and as we act in response to unforeseen threats, one thing is certain. It is our mission to save meaningful places to foster lively communities, and we cannot do it alone.
With gratitude,
Kji Kelly | Executive Director

E, by connecting 697 people to places that matter through 24 programs across 7 cities and 10 Seattle neighborhoods; A for meaningful places over 670 times by empowering citizens, providing leadership to community groups, building grassroots coalitions, researching historic places, and pursuing landmark protections; P, by fostering lively communities through the stewardship of 8 properties that serve as homes to 26 nonprofits, a school, a museum, and 48 family units, hosting a range of activities through 255,000+ visits annually.

In 2018, we continued to diversify our education programming, while bringing back some of your old favorites, such as the Good Shepherd Center garden tour and annual heirloom apple tasting. Our programming also offered new experiences like our grassroots preservation advocacy celebration and urban sketching workshop. From our headquarters on First Hill to Diablo Dam in the North Cascades, your support enabled us to bring together longtime members and new supporters, as we proudly featured a wide array of communities, as well as the people and stories that define them.

ADVOCACY D « ¬ « 0.5% ¯ S ¬?
As historic buildings in our city continue to fall prey to the ongoing development trend, advocacy has emerged as a vital tool in the fight to save meaningful places.
From helping guide grassroots groups like Save the Roy Vue on Capitol Hill, to working with the community to Save the Garden House in Beacon Hill, to leading the fight to Save The Showbox, 2018 was the year of the landmark.
In our new strategic plan, we set a goal of strengthening the preservation toolkit. In 2018, we worked to push for stronger protections through landmarking. In the years to come, we will continue to develop new tools and resources to empower people to advocate for preservation; create opportunities for collaboration with community partners like Save Our Square (Pioneer Square); research, develop, and evaluate policy solutions to strengthen landmarks and historic district ordinances; and propose policy solutions to decision-makers. PHILANTHROPY “I ’ ¡ ¯ , ¡ … I ¡ « ¯ ¸ ¯.” - J¡» K« O In 2018, donors who care desperately came together to help fund our work, contributing more than $256,000 in support of our mission.
Through our spring advocacy campaign, Preservation Awards Benefit, fall appeal, corporate sponsorships, and more, each person who contributed in 2018 had a direct impact on our work. We are humbled by your generosity and were glad to be able to show our appreciation at our 3rd Annual Holiday Open House, through the new quarterly donors-only Preservation Conversation series, and at our annual luncheon for Cornerstone Legacy Society donors and Preservation Partners who give $1,000 or more annually.
