The City of Burien announced recently that its City Council is seeking a qualified volunteer to serve a three-year term as Burien’s special member on the King County Landmarks Commission.

The deadline to apply is Jan. 18, 2013.

“Applicants should have a demonstrated interest and competence in historic preservation,” reads the announcement. “Burien’s special member will be called to attend only when the Landmarks Commission has a Burien application for landmark designation under consideration. The time commitment for this commission appointment may range from none to more than a dozen hours annually.”

Application forms are available at Burien City Hall (400 SW 152nd Street, Ste. 300), or on the City’s website at www.burienwa.gov/boards.

The King County Landmarks Commission meets at 4:30 p.m. on the fourth Thursday of the month in downtown Seattle.
