 Kenmore Air is honored with a Spellman Award at the Kenmore Community Club
Kenmore's very own Kenmore Air and former Assistant City Manager Nancy Ousley were recently awarded the King County John D. Spellman Awards for historic preservation.
Kenmore Air received the award for "Legacy Business." Founded in 1946 with humble beginnings, Kenmore Air has grown into a highly regarded institution in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Stephanie Lucash, Deputy City Manager, shared that Kenmore Air "with its rich history, plays a vital role and is a cornerstone of the Kenmore community as a multigenerational family enterprise. For 80 years, they have served as a great partner for the city, and we look forward to 80 more years of partnership."
Upon receiving the award, Todd Banks, a longtime, dedicated family owner, shared, “On behalf of my family and grandfather, our greatest company value is our employees and customers.” Congratulations to Kenmore Air!
Nancy Ousley won for her distinguished career in public service, leaving a legacy of rehabilitated landmarks, thriving businesses, and vibrant public spaces. Nancy initiated the Washington State Historic County Courthouse Rehabilitation Program, resulting in $21 million in grants to restore courthouses in 26 counties since 2005. She championed protections for historic buildings and small businesses in Pioneer Square, Chinatown International District, and SoDo during the development of Safeco Field, now named T-Mobile Park. As Kenmore’s Assistant City Manager, Ousley led the Kenmore Business Incubator program and partnered with stakeholders to redevelop the historic Saint Edward Seminary into The Lodge at St. Edward State Park.
