The State of Washington provided the funding that saved the building. It’s up to us to finish the job. One of the challenges during this Covid-19 Pandemic has been the rise in material costs. The budget for the project was developed in late 2018 and even building in a contingency fund wasn’t enough to handle the extraordinary increases in lumber and labor and unexpected expenses that a 125-year old building can surprise you with.
Donations are needed to complete the work. Help can be financial, it can be donated materials or labor, but help is needed to get the job done.
