Thank you to those who attended the first Montlake Historic District information meeting on January 16. For those who couldn’t make the meeting, you can access the presentation materials online to learn what was covered and discussed.
We will be holding a “History Open House” on Thursday April 3, from 6:00 – 7:30 pm, at the Montlake Community Center, Tudor Room, and the architectural historians will provide progress update materials at the open house.
We continue to make good progress on the neighborhood survey. We have looked at and are currently evaluating almost half of the historic resources in the neighborhood. If you have any specific information on your house, block, or neighborhood, we’d love to hear from you! Please stop by to share your information, learn more about the project, or meet the project architectural historians that you may have seen around the neighborhood.
Here are some useful contacts and links if you want additional information about the project:
