Pat Brodin, Committee Chair, Bob Moorhead, and John Carpita are your Chapter History Committee. Together, we strive to make Washington State History come alive through our biannual conference presentations and Chapter PUBLICWorks Magazine articles. We also strive to maintain our Chapter history. We invite you to join us. We focus on public works infrastructure in our biannual presentations. Topics have included: Transportation as History, a survey of Statewide transportation networks from the 1860s; Tale of the Tower, a history of railroads in Spokane; Bridging the Columbia, a history of the first (and still standing) bridge across the Columbia River at Vancouver; and our latest presentation - Grand Coulee Dam - From Jackrabbits to Electricity. These presentations (and more) are available on the History Committee web pages.Note the links below. |
