Historic Preservation

The City of Puyallup has an active historic preservation program that is administered by the Puyallup Design Review and Historic Preservation Board. The Puyallup Register of Historic Places, and historic property surveys and inventories are all part of this program focused on conserving and protecting the city’s historic resources and promoting civic awareness of the city’s robust history.

Historic Preservation Plan

Puyallup City Council adopted the Historic Preservation Plan on August 23, 2016. The plan supports the City's status as a Certified Local Government (CLG), a federal program designed to promote historic preservation at the local level, which is vital for the City of Puyallup to maintain the remaining sites with historical significance. The plan recognizes the work completed thus far with the CLG program, establishes goals and policies, and an action plan to help guide the historic preservation program

Code

In 2011, the City of Puyallup adopted Historic Preservation Chapter 21.22 of the Puyallup Municipal Code to provide for the identification, evaluation, designation and protection of historic resources within the boundaries of the City. With regional support, the City established the Register of Historic Places to preserve a sense of the community.
