It’s a Thursday afternoon in Vancouver, the second official day of the APWA Washington Chapter Spring Conference, and a crowd is gathering in the Spruce Room. Osborn’s very own engineers, Maria Peraki, PhD, PE and Courtney Dale, PE stand behind the podium, ready to impart knowledge on the growing audience. The topic? How to navigate the changes being made to the Ecology Stormwater Manual.
Spring is here and along with the growing flowers Osborn has been doing some growing as well. In these past few months alone, we have had the delight of adding ten new talented, passionate, and creative people to our team.
Each time we have the pleasure of adding a new team member, they bring with them their own unique skillset and Osborn grows in our technical and operational capabilities. Take some time to get to know them and find out who helped build a house from scratch, who is a nature photographer, and who makes pottery in their spare time.

We sat down with Matt and Lauren to learn more about what draws them to the profession and what they are working on these days.

Each time we have the pleasure of adding a new team member, they bring with them their own unique skillset and Osborn grows in our technical and operational capabilities. Take some time to get to know them and find out who got bit in the head by a shark, who is a triathlete, and who plays ice hockey in their free time!
It is once again that time of year – the air has gotten colder, the days have gotten shorter, and fast approaching holidays mark the beginning of the season of giving. After a year full of designing practical and creative solutions for our local communities, we are thankful for the opportunity to give back in another way.
We are proud to announce the launch our Alternative Delivery Practice! This new practice leverages the in-house passion and experience of Practice Lead Kelsie Jeppesen and other highly skilled team members to focus on the unique challenges and opportunities that come with alternative delivery.
It’s National Playground Safety Week – a time to reflect on our own fond memories and the joy as adults watching children burst with excitement as they climb, explore, and engage with other children – completely unaware of how essential the experience is to their own personal growth.
