Biographical History
The Works Progress Administration was created by federal legislation on May 6, 1935 to provide jobs for the unemployed who were able to work. The WPA provided oversight and administration for projects that were individually sponsored by Federal, state and local agencies. In Washington State, WPA workers constructed public buildings, roads, parks, and bridges, while skilled artists, writers, and others participated in the Federal Arts Project, the Federal Music Project, the Federal Theater Project, the Federal Writers Project and the Historical Records Survey.
