Historical Note
The Office of Urban Conservation was created in 1975 as part of the
Department of Community Development (DCD). It was founded in an era of citizen
protests against a proposed urban renewal program that would have demolished
Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market. The office’s mandate was to coordinate
Seattle’s historic preservation programs and administer the city’s landmark
boards and historic districts. When DCD was abolished in 1992, the office
became the Historic Preservation Program in the Department of
Neighborhoods.
The International Special Review District was created by the City
Council in 1973 in order to preserve the neighborhood’s unique Asian-American
character. It was the only area in the continental United States where
Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Vietnamese, and African Americans combined to
build one neighborhood. The District contains early 20th-century hotels and
commercial buildings, and part of the area is listed on the National Register.
One focus of the Board in the 1970s was to encourage development of housing and
pedestrian-friendly businesses, which was of special concern with the
construction of the Kingdome just west of the neighborhood. The Office of Urban
Conservation, and later the Historic Preservation Program, provided staffing to
the board.
