Pioneer Community Association

UPDATE:  Pioneer Center restoration and repair project

The Washington State Department of Commerce awarded a Grant to the Pioneer Community Association in 2019. Work began in the September of 2020. We have been able to replace the roof, paint and encapsulate lead paint on the exterior, install gutters, complete some electrical upgrades and add desperately needed drainage and sump pumps to the basement level.

Remaining Projects:

• Bathroom Renovation

• Basement Flooring

• Install wainscoting/paint downstairs

• Install kitchen cabinets, countertops, includes drywall repair

• Repair/Replace damaged wood and paint front entry staircase

• Replace structural beam

  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.
