@SounderBruce: Here's my review. epicgenius (talk) 01:04, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral : Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: ALT0 is pretty good. However, ALT1 is less interesting, because a lot of art projects can be designed by students. epicgenius (talk) 01:04, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Added a QPQ and rewrote a bit of ALT1 to be more interesting. Sounder Bruce 05:58, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Both ALT0 and revised ALT1 are good to go now. epicgenius (talk) 13:28, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Applicable category?

Is Category:1981 establishments in Washington (state) applicable? Congrats on the GA! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:27, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: This one could either be litsed in the 1981 or 1997 categories, but since the latter is already used for the railway category, I'd go with that. Sounder Bruce 22:18, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
