Historic Preservation & Coastal Flooding Webinar Series

Many of Washington’s most treasured historic resources are found along the shores of our coastal communities. From Main Streets to wharves to private homes, these waterfront buildings are icons of Washington’s maritime landscape. Many of these properties, however, are at risk from coastal flooding—and some are already feeling the impacts.

This free webinar series is designed for property owners, stewards, and community leaders who are navigating the complex challenges of preserving historic buildings in the face of rising waters. These sessions will walk you through the process of protecting your historic waterfront buildings, including assessing your flood risks, interpreting and applying National Park Service adaptation guidelines, navigating permits, assembling the right team, and getting renovations completed. With expert speakers, practical tips, and real-world case studies, this series will help you make informed decisions to protect your property and community heritage.

While we encourage participants to attend the webinars as a series, you are also welcome to sign up for individual sessions. Before each webinar, we’ll distribute recordings of previous sessions in case you’d like to catch up!
