Spokane Preservation Advocates SPA is an inclusive group, open to all who share a commitment to historic preservation in Spokane.

Spokane Preservation Advocates was formed in 1997 by a group of local historic preservation advocates who believed in the value of preservation and its role in enhancing Spokane’s quality of life. These preservation pioneers saw the need for a new organization in Spokane; one that would supplement the work of existing preservation-related groups while also providing a strong advocacy voice for preservation issues. From the very beginning, SPA has been an inclusive group, open to anyone who shares a commitment to historic preservation. Today the organization retains the vibrancy of collective action in support of our community’s architectural heritage.

Some people preserve Spokane’s history by restoring buildings. Others preserve it by sharing stories, teaching the community, and helping us see familiar places in a new way.

The Preservation and Education Award recognizes individuals or groups who educate and inspire while championing historic preservation.

The Preservation Media Award honors books, websites, signage, articles, and other public media that increase awareness of Spokane’s heritage.

Give a great storyteller some well-deserved recognition - nominate them for a Preservation Award!

👏 Preservation happens because people care enough to take action.

Think about the person who always shows up, speaks up, brings others together, or has spent years protecting the places and stories that matter to Spokane.

They probably won’t nominate themselves! That’s where you can help.
