Maritime Heritage Task Force

4Culture, King County’s arts and heritage development agency, started its Maritime Heritage Initiative in 2003 to address a crisis in the preservation and interpretation of maritime heritage in Seattle and the surrounding area. On December 6, 2005, the task force released its report. See below for more information.
In partnership with the National Park Service, the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the Association of King County Historical Organizations, and Historic Seattle, 4Culture convened its Seattle/King County Maritime Heritage Task Force in 2005 to recommend a new direction for local maritime heritage and education.

On December 6, 2005, the Task Force released its 105-page Final Report, which contained a number of key recommendations for the preservation and interpretation of Seattle and King County's maritime heritage. Download the report, or visit the Maritime Heritage Initiative page for more information.
