We do however urge the County to consider restoring and using a limited number of the original windows where it is feasible. Retention of a few of the better preserved windows can be incorporated with other restorations and will enhance the planned interpretative efforts by demonstrating how closely the replacements replicate the originals We also encourage you to salvage the original windows and glass and have it available for reuse. Historic window glass can be reused in other restoration projects:. Interest in the windows and the glass will vary depending current needs of other projects,the inventory of available materials,and the condition of the ;windows. Therefore having a place to store the windows until they are needed is important. The Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation and the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation may be available to assist you locating a storage facility. Attached is,a list of contacts that may also be able to assist you finding suitable situations for salvaging and reusing the windows, You will likely receive a more prompt response if you have photos of the windows available, - Sincerely Snohomish County Historic Preservation Commission Paul Christyierikins,Chair CC: Mayor Ray Stephenson Everett Historical Commission
