Tula'i Patane Honored for Historic Preservation

Tulai Patane, a dedicated Lacey resident and former Historical Commission member, received a public service award for her tireless volunteer work—balancing school, a job, and virtual council meetings while helping preserve Lacey’s heritage. Under her tenure, the commission completed historic building assessments, added 30+ artifacts to the museum, launched a new museum site, and identified 300+ properties for the city’s historic inventory. Though she stepped down to focus on her education, Patane’s commitment to public service was honored by the mayor, who praised volunteer boards as vital to Lacey’s community identity and future.
