2019 ANNUAL REPORT Letter from the Executive Director 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Letter from the Executive Director For all of us at the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, 2019 was certainly one to remember. Throughout the year, we were honored to help save places that matter to Washingtonians across the state. We advocated for saving the historic Beverly Bridge and were thrilled to see nearly $5.5 million in state funding secured for its rehabilitation as part of a cross-state recreational trail. We announced our Most Endangered Places listing of The Showbox theater in Seattle and joined thousands of concerned citizens and musicians in the fight to save it. After years of successful community building and economic growth in historic downtowns across the state, we received increased state funding for the Washington State Main Street Program. And, when the new Maritime Washington National Heritage Area was designated by an Act of Congress in February 2019, we were privileged to be named the local coordinating entity. Among these many success stories, we are still acutely aware of the work that remains to be done. Making historic preservation more inclusive and accessible to a wider range of audience members and activists, for instance. Inspiring the next generation of our state’s leaders, policy makers, and advocates for the places that matter. Honoring our state’s many historic and cultural treasures— not just architectural landmarks, but community gathering spaces that have evolved across decades; not just buildings but waterfalls, landscapes, and tribal sacred places. This 2019 annual report represents where the Washington Trust has been. If you want to see where we’re going—as an organization and as a preservation movement, in 2020 and beyond—join us. Follow our progress on social media, come raise a glass with us at a Pints for Preservation happy hour near you, sign up as a member, make a donation, start an advocacy campaign for a place you care about and bring us on board. Join us to save the places that matter in Washington State.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    THE VIRGINIA V FOUNDATION 2019 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION: To promote the Puget Sound’s maritime heritage through the restoration, preservation, operation, and interpretation of the National Historic Landmark vessel VIRGINIA V. OPERATION As the VIRGINIA V sails the waters of the Puget Sound, she transforms from historical artifact to a living, working vessel. It is her ability to immerse guests in nearly a hundred years of local maritime history that sets the VIRGINIA V apart. In 2019, we were able to share that experience with 4,450 guests who got underway with us. We continue to offer low-cost public cruises, such as Steamship Saturdays in partnership with the Center for Wooden Boats and special narrated cruises in partnership with the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), to give the broader community access to our local waterways and maritime history. We have participated in well-loved traditions including Seattle’s Opening Day, Olympia Harbor Days, the Lake Union Wooden Boat Show, and the Blue Angels Viewing Cruises. The VIRGINIA V provided over 25 private underway charters, seven of which were wedding celebrations. None of this would be possible without the dedication and commitment of our volunteer crew. From the licensed mariners like our captains and chief engineers, to our bartenders, docents, deckhands, and engineers, the VIRGINIA V would not leave the dock without them. 2019 OPERATION HIGHLIGHTS » 55 days underway on the VIRGINIA V » 17,150 total visitors to the vessel » 4,450 guests during public & private cruises » 4,200 volunteer hours donated PRESERVATION The VIRGINIA V continues to be the largest operational, wooden steamboat certified to carry passengers in the United States.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.
