The Mayor’s office is seeking a new architect to join the Ballard Avenue Landmark District Board. The architect will review and advise on changes in the district, including signage and new construction plans. The board helps preserve the historical character of the Ballard Avenue area, according to the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.
The board has seven members who serve two-year terms. Five members are elected by residents, property owners, or business operators in the district. The architect and community historian are appointed by Mayor Harrell and approved by City Councilmembers. The board meets monthly on the first Thursday at 9:00 a.m., with members spending about two hours per month on board activities, as reported by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.
Architects interested in serving on the board must submit a letter of interest and resume by 5:00 pm on October 27. Applications can be submitted electronically or by mail. The city encourages individuals from diverse backgrounds, including women, persons with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, young and senior citizens, people of color, and immigrants, to apply. For more information, contact Ballard Avenue Landmark District Coordinator Minh Chau Le by email or phone, as stated by the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods.
