Good morning, council members. I'm Leah Crackles AP The materials for this item begin on page ten of your packet and these this item would confirm the appointment of Tanya Wu to the Landmarks Kane County Landmarks Commission. Jennifer Meissner, the King County Historic Preservation Officer, is also here with us. And the Landmarks Commission was established to ensure preservation of King County's historic places, material culture and traditions for future generations. The nine member Commission is comprised of volunteers with broad experience in areas such as agriculture, arts, land use, START preservation, archeology, education and history and staff has not identified any issues with this Wu's appointment. And so I will turn it back to you. Thank you. Any questions of Ms.. Crocker's IP? Ms.. Meissner, did you have any introduction you wish to offer? Thank you, Councilmember McDermott and council members. I am really delighted to welcome Tanya Wu to the King County Landmarks Commission. She is bringing a wealth of experience in building redevelopment, a passion for historic preservation, a knowledge of preservation processes. And we are just thrilled to have her. And I would, again, just really want to welcome her. Thank you, Miss Boo. Welcome. We're glad you're with us today. And I turn it over to you to offer a few words of introduction and speak to your interest in the Landmarks Commission. Thank you. So my name is Tonya Woo. My family owns the Louisa Hotel, a 1909 unreinforced masonry building in the heart of the Chinatown International District. The building caught on fire on Christmas Eve in 2013. Its roof was burned, the structure was compromised, and we were in danger of collapsing on to our neighbors. So we worked with an amazing team to put the building back to use by preserving its historic characteristics closely following the Secretary of Interior's guidelines for rehabilitation. And I'm very happy to say the building reopened in 2019 to offer 84 units of workforce housing available to those who make about 30 200% area median income. My current passion project is restoring Prohibition era African-American jazz murals that were discovered during the rehabilitation. These murals are the very last remnants of Seattle's jazz club history, and we are on our way to completing this project in the next year or so. I currently serve on the International Review District Board, which preserves, protect and enhance the historic architecture of the rest of the city. I was trying to enter National District, one of Seattle's diverse Asian-American community. And I'm also on the AAPI heritage in the Pacific Northwest Task Force. And so I believe that historic preservation is not just about protecting historic structures, but also about our history, preserving legacy and ensuring that the stories of those that came before us will be preserved. Thank you. Thank you, Mrs. Wu. And your work has already spoken to the question that I asked the applicants before us at our last meeting, and that is about, you know, a broader understanding, if you will, of landmarks and preservation, and particularly of native and indigenous peoples and sites and artifacts. And you have spoken to that, or at least in reference to your work in Chinatown, in the international district, your work on the International District Review Board, the African-American jazz murals in jazz clubs. If you want to elaborate further on making sure that there's a broad cross-section and not a single focus on white culture in preservation. Yes. So there's. So many stories that are intertwined in all of our historic structures. And Seattle's and King County, one of the most diverse counties in in the states. And so it's just amazing, like walking through Chinatown. It's called Chinatown. But there's cultures. There's the Filipino, Japanese, Vietnamese, all these Asian cultures and one little area. And you go into the Rainier district and there's just so many more. And you hear about how all these cultures are intertwined and how celebrated diversity was, especially in our jazz clubs, in this in this area where all cultures are able to come together and celebrate the differences and have fun. And so it's just amazing to. Through buildings and build structures, discovering all these hidden stories and themes to preserve them and tell them to all of each generation. So have them realize there's always more to what you're just seeing is always more to the ground you walk on into . These those environments that holds us and protect us. Thank you. Colleagues. Any questions from this room? Hearing? None. I would entertain a motion on proposed motion on 2021 ten. Approval. Mr. Charles Coventry. Council Member Bell This has moved.

Meissner, I was concerned that you were jumping the gun at the beginning of your presentation, talking about Ms..
