In 2017, the Historical Commission and city staff prepared a new site plan.
The Commission also made preparations to construct the Historic Train Depot Trail Amenity, which will be a park shelter built to look like the original train depot. Museum staff completed a $1 million Washington State Heritage Capital Grant application to finish construction documents for the new museum. We are excited to share that we made the list of projects that are being recommended to the legislature for funding! Awards are expected to be made in July 2019.
