Every year the Greater University Chamber of Commerce and the University District Business Improvement Area Ratepayers Association honors businesses and individuals within our community with various awards. These awards recognize businesses and individuals in the categories of Best Small Business, Best Community Service, Officer of the Year, and Best Economic Development Award which are nominated by our members. Please join us to celebrate their accomplishments on behalf of our community during 2011 Annual Banquet. We will also honor Dr. Clifford Mass, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington, who will also be the Keynote speaker. Dr. Mass will speak about the future of northwest weather forecasting. Ask him questions. Get a more global picture of how northwest weather fits into the larger forecasting picture. His book, The Weather of the Pacific Northwest, will be available for sale at the event.

Last summer restoration commenced at University Heights Center, an architecturally significant structure in the heart of the University District.  The building was constructed in 1902; its doors officially opened in December of that year just in time for children to celebrate the holidays. Today we learned that University Heights has been designated by the National Park Service as a landmark property and placed upon the National Register of Historic Places.  This approval is meaningful to the Center and thousands of individuals who fought for its preservation for more than thirty years. "School buildings have historically been very important to the neighborhoods they serve, said House Speaker Frank Chopp, who has his district office in University Heights. This designation acknowledges that role and allows the building to remain a vital part of the community." The designation assures preservation of the building and site under federal laws which protect architecturally significant properties. It is the perfect way for University Heights to celebrate its 108th birthday which occurs this month.
