Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board is set to consider the nomination of the historic former Phillis Wheatley YWCA Building for landmark status. The building, located at 102 21st Avenue East/2100E Denny Way, will be reviewed during a meeting on September 4, at 3:30 p.m. The details of the nomination have been made available to the public on the Department of Neighborhoods website under "Current Nominations" and are also linked to the meeting agenda.

For those interested in attending, the meeting can be accessed in person at the Seattle City Hall's Boards & Commissions Room, or virtually via a WebEx Event link or telephone call-in—details for which will be posted a week prior to the meeting on the Department of Neighborhoods website. With the ongoing adaptation to remote participation, it is expected that many of the Board members and presenters will be joining virtually rather than in person.

Public engagement is encouraged, and comments regarding the nomination are welcome. Attendees have the option to sign up to address the Landmarks Preservation Board for two minutes on matters related to the agenda. Sign-up for public comment will begin two hours before the meeting starts and will conclude at the board meeting's commencement. Those wishing to take part can do so via the call-in number, the WebEx link, or in person at the designated location.

Alternatively, written comments are an option and should reach the Landmarks Preservation Board by 3:30 p.m. on September 3. Interested parties are urged to submit their feedback well in advance of the meeting to allow the board ample time for review. Comments can be sent either by email to [email protected], or via traditional mail addressed to Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Landmarks Preservation Board, PO Box 94649, Seattle, WA 98124-4649. The agenda for this significant meeting will be sent and posted approximately one week prior.
