A little bit about us:
The cultural and historic resources of a community tell the story of its past, a past that makes any single community distinct from all other places. From lumber mills to schools, sacred landscapes to archaeological sites, rustic cabins to office towers, our historic and cultural resources provide everyone with a tangible link to persons and events that have shaped our communities and ourselves. Preserving these physical reminders of our past creates a sense of place, the result being an environment that instills civic pride and community spirit.

By preserving significant cultural and historic resources, we are able to learn from past achievements (as well as mistakes) in order to improve, enrich, and even enliven, the Washington State that is passed to future generations. To learn more about the vision and role of historic preservation in the State of Washington, download our current Statewide Historic Preservation Plan (Download PDF reader).

What you will be doing:
You will be supporting the geographic information system (GIS) program that enables the agency to meet its state and federal statutes. You will be performing work requiring knowledge and experience that is specific to cultural resource preservation and GIS. The GIS Program is a specialized program area with specific complex components and discrete tasks which distinguish it from the main body of the agency. You will provide stakeholders with information and interpretation of activities and perform specialized technical duties in support of GIS Program activities that may also include legacy cultural resource recordation projects, GIS quality control projects, and other assigned GIS projects.

​Why you would want this job:

In addition to a comprehensive benefits package we also offer a flexible work environment. In addition, you will get a chance to travel our beautiful state and engage with people who share your passion for historic preservation.

If you are passionate about Pacific Northwest history, grass-roots community development, social currency and historic preservation, this may be the job you've been waiting for!
