The Rainier Club, Seattle, WA

Environmental Impact Reports and Statements must address a proposed project’s impact on historic resources, and develop and evaluate alternatives. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies or federally-funded or licensed projects to consider the effects of undertakings on historic resources.

Painter Preservation & Planning has undertaken environmental review in California under the California Environmental Quality Act and in Washington State under the State Environmental Policy Act. We have participated in all phases of environmental review, from preparing initial studies and environmental checklists to developing mitigation and monitoring plans. In addition, we have completed over fifteen Section 106 compliance projects.

Preservation-oriented Seattle developer Nitze-Stagen has now stepped in to save the sanctuary. More information
