SPA's History
Spokane Preservation Advocates (SPA) was formed
in 1997 by a group of local historic preservation
advocates, who believed in the value of preservation
and its role in enhancing Spokane’s quality of life.
These preservation pioneers saw the need for a new
preservation organization in Spokane to supplement
the work of existing preservation-related groups
while also providing a strong advocacy voice for
preservation issues. From the very beginning, SPA
has been inclusive - open to all.
