As part of the Department of Natural Resources and Parks (DNRP) Director’s Office, this is an exciting opportunity to join the dynamic team in King County’s Historic Preservation Program (HPP). In this role, you will help safeguard King County’s historic built environment by reviewing a wide range of projects for potential impacts to above-ground historic and cultural resources. You will apply your knowledge of local, state, and federal preservation regulations and actively participate in regulatory processes to support the county’s compliance efforts.

Guided by our mission to identify, document, preserve, and steward the county’s significant historic and archaeological resources, serving all people and communities in King County, HPP manages the work of the King County Landmarks Commission, leads educational programs, and provides preservation and cultural resource review services for County agencies, 24 local cities, private developers, and property owners.
