LETTER
February 9, 2016
Dear Mr. Brown:
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Ms. Barbara Alten. It has been my good fortune
to work with Ms. Alten on the construction of the Lake Sammamish State Park Bathhouse and currently
on the Moran State Park Learning Center.
Ms. Alten is a consistently prepared Project Manager. Her architectural training and experience bring a
level of understanding to the project that greatly benefits State Parks. I have found Ms. Alten to have a
thorough knowledge of the construction documents and specifications. Her role representing State
Park’s interests is clear. That being said, she listens to both the architect and the contractor to
understand the challenges that arise during construction and assist in finding solutions.
As an architect, I appreciate Ms. Alten’s commitment to the project design and her role in ensuring that
the project is completed on time and on budget. She has an extraordinary commitment to her projects.
Best regards,
Christopher Patano, AIA
Studio Director
