This split-entry house on Vashon Island was built in 1962.

King County's Historic Preservation Program is seeking a consultant to prepare a report on the local history of mid-century modern houses.

The county and cities have been getting inquiries from owners about declaring such houses historic landmarks.

The report will be a tool for evaluating potential landmark properties in unincorporated areas and 20 cities that participate in the Interlocal Historic Preservation Program. The period of study is about 1945 to 1975.

Funding is through a $16,500 grant from the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation.

Send qualifications and a proposal by Jan. 8 to King County Historic Preservation Program, Attention: Todd Scott, Historic Preservation Architect, 201 S. Jackson, Suite 700 Seattle, WA 98104, or to Todd.Scott@kingcounty.gov. Go to http://tiny.cc/6e8n7x for more information.
