Section Awards

Local Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Awards (LOCEA)

The LOCEA Awards recognize projects that have improved the quality of life and contributed to the economic development of the local community, area, or region. These projects represent the successful combination of multiple engineering objectives, including design innovation and excellence, environmental sustainability, cost effectiveness, the effective use of materials, and aesthetics. Each year, the Seattle Section recognizes the award winners at a formal presentation.

​

In 2023 we introduced two new awards to include: Engineer of the Year and Young Engineer of the Year. Consider nominating your colleagues!
