~ Tacoma, Wash. - As the summer season comes to a close, the North End Neighborhood Council is hosting the Historic Cushman Street Fair on September 7 to celebrate a successful season of outdoor events and family fun. The fair will take place from 11 AM to 3 PM at the intersection of North 21st and North Adams streets.
The Proctor Blocks summer event series finale will feature live music, delicious food, and a variety of family-friendly activities on the streets surrounding the historic Cushman Substation. This event is open to all members of the Tacoma community.
Mayor Victoria Woodards expressed her excitement for the future of the Cushman Substation, stating that it holds significant promise as a vital community asset. She also thanked the North End Neighborhood Council for hosting feedback tables at the fair to continue gathering ideas and input from community members.
In addition to enjoying the festivities at the Historic Cushman Street Fair, community members are reminded to participate in the Visioning Survey for the Cushman and Adams Substations Future Use Study before it closes on September 2.

Deputy Mayor John Hines shared his enthusiasm for the ongoing community engagement process for these historic substations. He emphasized that this is a rare opportunity for residents to shape the vision for their city's future and encouraged everyone in Tacoma to be part of this important conversation.
The Visioning Survey was launched in June 2024 after a series of "visioning workshops" where community members shared their ideas for potential future uses of these buildings. So far, over 400 responses have been received. The Historic Cushman Street Fair marks a transition from idea generation to analyzing possible scenarios for these sites. In October, another series of workshops will be held for community members to provide feedback on draft scenarios.
The Cushman and Adams substations were built in the mid-1920s to bring electricity from Cushman Dam to Tacoma. In 2017, they were added to the Tacoma Register of Historic Places, which includes the exteriors and surrounding sites of both buildings.
Tacoma Public Utilities plans to end utility operations at the Cushman Substation in 2027. The public engagement process for potential future uses was initiated by the City Council in 2018 but was put on hold in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
