The Southwest Seattle Historical Society (SWSHS) is competing with other not-for-profits nationwide in the National Trust for Historic Preservation “This Place Matters” photo contest. The grant supports communities across the country who post a photo and a story of one place in their community that matters – then rally online supporters around that place for the chance to win $25,000. We need your vote! The SWSHS is the only organization competing for this award in Washington State and one of only a few on the West Coast.
