Downtown Marriot Tacoma | May 7 & 8, 2026*
Join us for the 2026 WASLA Annual Conference! This year's theme, Reclaim, invites us to look closely at the landscapes shaped by industry, time, and change—and to consider how they can be revived, restored, and reimagined for the public good. Tacoma’s evolution from working waterfronts and rail corridors into beloved parks, restored shorelines, and cultural landscapes illustrates the power of design to reconnect people with place. As landscape architects, we accept the responsibility to heal damaged land, elevate local stories, and transform forgotten edges into meaningful public spaces. RECLAIM calls us to this ongoing work, celebrating the creativity and commitment that shape more resilient communities.
*Opening reception will be on the evening of May 7. The conference sessions and speakers will take place on May 8th.
Look forward to discussions on:
- Techniques for restoring ecological health and repairing impacted land
- Adaptive reuse that honors history while creating vibrant new uses
- Approaches that foster stewardship, equity, and lasting community connections
