What is it like to serve on the HSD Board?

Historic South Downtown is a state-created authority charged with helping the two historic neighborhoods of Pioneer Square and Chinatown-International District mitigate the impacts of large-scale, publicly-funded projects. Each Fall, HSD holds an Annual Mixer and Board Elections. Board Members are elected to represent specific sectors in the community and may serve for up to two three-year terms. From time to time, a board vacancy will require the appointment of a new representative. 

 

If you are interested in serving on the HSD Board, please contact Kathleen Barry Johnson.
