Proposal Questions Please confine your answers to no more than one page for each question. 1. Tell us about your promotion, facility, event or activity and why you think it will increase tourists traveling to and staying in Jefferson County. Include a general description of the promotion, facility, event or activity including its purpose, history, etc.), and describe your organization's track record. The Jefferson County Historical Society (JCHS) has a mission to bring people together to share, learn, and be inspired by Jefferson County arts and heritage through collections, research, exhibits, and programs. Founded in 1879 and established in our primary museum space in the Historic City Hall Building in 1951, JCHS's work has long supported county-wide advancement of the arts, humanities, and historic preservation for the benefit of the public. We manage three sites: the Rothschild House in partnership with Washington State Parks,the Research and Collections Center, and the Jefferson Museum of Art + History.The structure of our organization has gradually adapted to the changing needs of the community and an increased demand for our services, including an evolving relationship with county government. While a full-time JCHS staff position was originally funded by the County through the general fund, upon the creation of the Lodging Tax it was determined that JCHS staff would instead be supported through an allocation of Lodging Tax to pay for operations, as is noted in section 3.25.040 in the county ordinance. JCHS staff and trustees are aligned around the importance of heritage tourism at our sites and throughout the broader Olympic Peninsula, as a vast majority of travelers visit museums and historic sites while abroad. These experiences help visitors better understand and connect to their destinations and create strong foundations for other regional tourism opportunities. Our organization is actively building and utilizing relationships in the county to play to unique strengths and draw people to this LTAC Grant Award Agreement for JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Page 14 of 40 special place, including work with the Jefferson County Library, the Jefferson County Land Trust, and the Quilcene Historical Society. LTAC funding in 2025 will partially fund the Programs Manager who oversees the visitor experience at the Museum of Art + History and Rothschild House, as well as all events and programs, including downtown walking tours. It will also partially support the Marketing Director, who utilizes multiple digital marketing platforms as well as media (newspaper, radio), and flyers to promote our exhibits and programs. JCHS is committed to using the lenses of art, history, and community to share the diverse stories of this place, and that values-based approach helps ensure that people of all backgrounds have access to high quality experiences when visiting Jefferson County. 2. If this is a continuing promotion, facility or event, how is it different than in the past? This proposal is based on JCHS's rich contribution both to the county and to heritage tourism.This year's focus is on supporting the staff who both promote and deliver our offerings. Our staff is enthusiastic about sharing Jefferson County's arts and heritage with every visitor, whether they're local or visiting Jefferson County. The positions we plan to support with LTAC funding are: - Programs Manager: responsible for the visitor experience at our historic house museum and the Jefferson Museum of Art + History as well as for our public programs, including lectures,family days, and downtown historic walking tours. - Marketing Director: responsible for communicating organizational initiatives throughout a range of communication channels including e-news, social media, print, and paid advertising. 3. Describe how you intend to market/promote your promotion, facility, event or activity to potential tourists who reside outside Jefferson County. a) If an event, the date of the event: N/A b) The timeline for the tourism promotion activity you are proposing (e.g. May through July, 2025) The JCHS Museum of Art + History is open to the public with a robust programs calendar March — December, while the Research Center is open year-round. The Rothschild House is open May — September each year. Walking tours are offered weekly to the public in July and August, and by arrangement March — November. JCHS has an exclusive annual tour contract with American Cruise Lines April - October. Exhibits are changed seasonally with concurrent events and programs including free exhibition openings, Free First Saturdays, speaker presentations, and more. c) Target Audience LTAC Grant Award Agreement for JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Page 15 of 40 JCHS aims to serve both county locals and tourists alike. Overall, more of our visitors are visiting from out-of-county, as high as 80% during the summer. In 2024, we saw 39% of visitors from outside Jefferson County in January - March; in April — June that percentage jumped to 75%! d) Promotion methods you intend to use to reach the target audience. Promotion is primarily activated through digital marketing and includes our website, e-news, Facebook, Vimeo, Google Business, and Soundcloud. In late 2022 we invested $5,000 in a new website.We utilize earned and paid media in two local newspapers (the Peninsula Daily News and the Leader), and we print flyers, posters, and banners for exhibition and program promotion, and distribute rack cards to area hotels and businesses advertising sites and tour programs. For the remainder of the year and into 2025,JCHS will be investing further in our marketing efforts to expand reach, engagement, and awareness. e) Describe how you will promote overnight stays at Jefferson County lodging establishments. When visiting new places, people first and foremost want to understand more about the history, culture, and community of that place. Visiting local museums and historic sites is one of the most popular travel activities; in fact, a recent study from the American Alliance for Museums reports that 76%of all U.S. leisure travelers participate in cultural or heritage activities such as visiting museums. Thus, by providing excellent day-time activities for visitors to Jefferson County, JCHS helps promote overnight travel. Further, by being welcoming and knowledgeable ambassadors at all sites, JCHS staff help direct guests to options on what to do,where to stay, and where to visit across the peninsula. Additionally, local hoteliers regularly use our photo collection for decorating their spaces, as the rich history of this area is part of the tourism draw. f) If you intend to collaborate with another agency or non-profit to provide these services, please state the name of the organization and describe the nature of the collaboration: JCHS works with many partners to cross-promote events and collaborate on programming. Examples of this include: - Our annual History Hikes program with the North Olympic History Center - Our annual Dino Day family program with the Burke Museum - Our annual Holiday Extravaganza program with KPTZ 91.9FM - Ongoing consultation and collaboration with The Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe and Chemakum Tribe - Participation in local happenings hosted by Port Townsend Main Street,the Production Alliance, and the Jefferson County Library - Our ongoing operating agreements with Washington State Parks for the operations of the Rothschild House LTAC Grant Award Agreement for JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Page 16 of 40 3. How will you measure the effectiveness of your promotion, facility, event or activity? JCHS measures success through a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors, including visitation and program participation numbers, visitor satisfaction, and sustained engagement with our organization via membership, repeat visitation, program or project collaboration, and donation. Visitation to our sites is processed and tracked through Square and our ticketing system (SimpleTix); visitor feedback is gathered via surveys, guest books, and conversation. Historically we have reported the impact of our LTAC funding to the County quarterly. For 2025,we can certainly provide further data on jobs supported, tax revenue, and broader data on the economic impact of the museum sector. Also, describe how you will document and report to the County the economic impact from your event/facility. (State law requires the County to report annually to the State Department of Community Development and Economic Trade about the number of lodging stays and economic benefit from tourists generated by use of Lodging Tax proceeds for tourism promotion.) 5. What economic impact can we expect in Jefferson County from your proposed promotion, facility, event or activity? a.) Actual or estimated number of tourists at your event/facility last year (2024): An estimated 13,000 people will be served in 2024 at our sites and via our programs; with an average of 65% of them being tourists. This equates to 8,450. b.) Estimated number of tourists who will attend your event/facility this year (2025): As we embark on some major capital improvements to the Museum of Art + History in 2025, we are not projecting growth in our service numbers for 2025.Thus,we project another 8,450 tourists will be served in 2025. c.) Projected economic impact in Jefferson County from your event/facility (e.g. number of tourists who will stay overnight in Jefferson County-based lodging establishments; economic impact for Jefferson County restaurants, community facilities, amenities, events, and businesses). JCHS significantly supports tourism to Jefferson County, as museums and cultural sites are cornerstones of any travel destination, and our organization offers diverse and educational experiences to visitors from across the state, nation, and the world. We assume that many of the almost 8,450 tourists we expect to see in 2025 will stay overnight in Jefferson County. 6. Describe your organization's area of expertise. Do you provide a unique service? Many staff at JCHS have graduate degrees in museology, art history, or education, and the Jefferson Museum of Art & History represents the only interdisciplinary museum with paid staff in Jefferson County, as well as the only publicly accessible, noncommercial art exhibition space.JCHS is uniquely positioned to provide visitors with experiences based in deep historical research, local art and artists' perspectives,and a broad representation of diverse voices from throughout the region. LTAC Grant Award Agreement for JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Page 17 of 40 For a county with a relatively small, rural population, JCHS's collections are uniquely robust and resourced. JCHS is one of the oldest historical societies in Washington State and has approximately 500,000 items in collections, including one of the largest photograph collections in the state, estimated at between 40,000 and 50,000 images (nearly 1,000 of which are glass plate negatives, one of the earliest forms of photography). Additionally,the Research Center is unique in that it has regular walk-in hours open to the public. This large collection generates continuous inspiration for new exhibits, programs, and stories to share with the public and foster excitement for Jefferson County arts and heritage. 3. Background Information about Your Organization Attach the following items to your proposal in the order listed: (Note: To be considered by the Committee, all of the listed information must be included with your proposal.) Attachments: — Proposed 2025 promotion, facility, event or activity budget including income and expenses. — 2024 Budget and Actual income and expense year to date statement(s). — List of names and addresses of the organization's Board of Directors as of the date the proposal is filed.

Available Funding for 2025 Organizations submitting proposals should be aware that a total of approximately $900,000 in lodging tax awards will be available for allocation to eligible tourism promotion activities through this RFP. This amount also includes $5,051 in staff administrative costs to manage the grants and to process invoices. County Ordinance 02-0622-98 provides for distribution of Lodging Tax as follows: • The lodging tax funds are to be used for targeted and/or regional promotion, the operation and maintenance of organizations operating tourist related facilities and their costs for local promotional activities. • Not more than 25% for the development of tourism related facilities. 3. Definitions - LTAC Grant Award Agreement for JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Page 19 of 40 By state law, lodging tax funds may only be used for tourism promotion and the acquisition and/or operation, including maintenance, of tourism-related facilities. The following definitions are copied verbatim from RCW 67.28.080. Note: State law changed in 2007 to include "operation" of tourism events in the definition of "tourism promotion." "Tourism" means economic activity resulting from tourists, which may include sales of overnight lodging, meals, tours, gifts, or souvenirs. "Tourist" means a person who travels from a place of residence to a different town, city, county, state, or country, for purposes of business, pleasure, recreation, education, arts, heritage, or culture. "Tourism promotion" means activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; developing strategies to expand tourism; operating tourism promotion agencies; and funding the marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists. "Tourism-related facility" means real or tangible personal property with a usable life of three or more years, or constructed with volunteer labor that is: (a)(i) Owned by a public entity; (ii) owned by a nonprofit organization described under section 501(c)(3) of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended; or (iii) owned by a nonprofit organization described under section 501(c)(6) of the federal internal revenue code of 1986, as amended, a business organization, destination marketing organization, main street organization, lodging association, or chamber of commerce and (b) used to support tourism, performing arts, or to accommodate tourist activities. 4. Proposal Evaluation Criteria — Jefferson County Policy Statement for Use of the Lodging Tax. Jefferson County's Lodging Tax Fund will be the primary source of county funding for activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism. The County does not make any multi-year commitments with Lodging Tax funds. However, service providers are not limited or prohibited from making repeat annual requests of the same nature. The County intends to maintain a reserve in the Fund, and will assess on an annual basis how much of the Fund to appropriate in a given year. The Jefferson County Commissioners have created a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to conduct an annual process to solicit and recommend Lodging Tax funded services for the County Commissioners consideration. Jefferson County will only consider proposals for use of the Lodging Tax from public and non-profit agencies. The Fund will ONLY be used for the following purposes: 1. The promotion of emerging or on-going tourism events, facilities, and activities by government or non-profit agencies so as to attract and draw tourists to unincorporated Jefferson County from outside Jefferson County. 2. Operation of a tourism promotion agency (such as a visitor and convention bureau); 3. The marketing of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists to unincorporated Jefferson County from outside Jefferson County. 4. Capital and/or operating costs for tourism facilities owned by a public entity or a non-profit organization as defined in State law RCW 67.28.080.1(7)— Tourism Related Facility. 5. Administrative costs to support tourism events, facilities and activities. LTAC Grant Award Agreement for JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Page 20 of 40 Other Criteria.

Payment must occur after the services have been performed and documentation in keeping with the contract is submitted to the County. 2. The County may not pay for donated or volunteer services or pay more than the actual cost incurred by the contracting agency to provide the service. 5. Background Information — Jefferson County's Lodging Tax. The Lodging Tax is an excise (sales) tax authorized by State law in RCW 67.28, Public Stadium, Convention, Arts and Tourism Facilities. In 1998, the State Legislature amended Chapter 67.28 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) to allow local governments to assess an additional 2% tax on lodging for tourism promotion and/or tourism-related facilities (sometimes referred to as "the new 2%"). In April 1999, the County Commission, by Ordinance, increased the County's Lodging Tax from a 2% to a 4% tax as allowed by RCW 67.28. Jefferson County's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. Per RCW 67.28.1817, the State requires that local governments collecting the Lodging Tax establish a Lodging Tax Advisory Committee consisting of at least five (5) members: The Chair — a member of the County Commission or their designee 2 members — representing the lodging industry 2 members — representing activities authorized to be funded by said tax The Committee's role is advisory in nature, with the Committee's purpose being to advise the County Commissioners. The Committee must select the candidates from amongst the applicants applying for use of revenues and provide a list of such candidates and recommended amounts of funding to the County Commissioners for final determination. In 1998, the Jefferson County Commissioners created such a Committee, and asked the Committee to establish an annual process to solicit and review proposals for tourism services eligible for lodging tax funding. Committee members are appointed by the County Commissioners as part of the County's regular advisory committee appointment process.

Most accounts of the United States' maritime enterprises are disproportionately populated by white seafarers.Yet,from the 16th to the 20th century, Black whalers,commercial mariners,fishers,explorers, soldiers, and sailors traveled along the Pacific Coast and traversed the high seas. The stories of these mariners,their impact in shaping the American Pacific,and their legacy in the context of development of society and identity,are all explored in Take Me to the Water: Histories of the Black Pacific. , - . : - exhibitenvoy.org/exhibits/take-me-to-the-water/ .
