The City of Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board voted unanimously to designate Washington Hall an historic landmark. Historic Seattle, a local organization in the business of fostering preservation, is still trying to purchase the building from the current owners, the Sons of Haiti. If that purchase takes place, Historic Seattle will be seeking tenants who can bring back the lively arts and performances that made Washington Hall an important center of culture for overy one hundred years. Community interest and support will be a key to success.
