THE COMPETITION:
The Valley Transit Downtown Transfer Center and Walla Walla Farmers Market share a common location. This design competion explores the possibilites for a new Walla Walla Market Station. Integrated facilities can enhance an already mutually beneficial relationship by improving services for transit riders and market visitors. In partnership with the City, the Downtown Walla Walla Foundation, and the Walla Walla Valley Farmers Market Association, Valley Transit seeks to replace the existing facility with a Market Station incorporating expanded uses and integrating other potential community amenities. The Design Competition includes evaluation of the Valley Transit site and adjacent city property and development of an innovative architectural and urban design solution representative of the City and stakeholders values. In 2004, Walla Walla adopted a Downtown Master Plan to guide the growth of the city’s central commercial district. While the historic buildings and character of downtown are largely to credit for the awards and recognition, Walla Walla seeks to promote good design and maintain a creative sense of place in its expansion.
