Eight projects won 2017 Professional Awards from the Washington Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects at a ceremony held recently at Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle.

The awards honor landscape architectural design and planning, and recognize projects anywhere in the world that have been done by Washington-based landscape architects.

The Arizona-based jury was made up of Mary Estes, principal at Norris Design; Brett Anderson, founding principal at AndersonBaron; Laura Paty, landscape architect and planner and president-elect of the Arizona chapter of ASLA; Jay Hicks, managing principal at Dig Studio; and Aaron Allan, landscape architect and guest lecturer at Arizona State University.

The moderator was Janelle Lotzgesell, secretary of WASLA and chair of the awards committee.

The awards have been given for about 30 years.
