Hunter Farm Gathering Place Project Moving Towards Late August Build
Wedgwood Echo 1 VOLUME 26, ISSUE IV JULY 2011 Hunter Farm Gathering Place Project Moving Towards Late August Build As many are aware, the Wedgwood Community Council (WCC) has received a grant, through the Pomegranate Center and Tully‘s Coffee, to work with the Hunter Family (of Hunter Tree Farms) to develop a 'gathering place' on their property. The project, which has been coined ―Hunter-Gatherers‖ by the Pome- granate Center, is on a tight timeline, and is moving full steam ahead. On June 11th, nearly 90 people packed the Fellowship Hall of Messiah Luther Church for the project‘s kick-off public meeting. The day started with a 2 hour brainstorm session (plus Tully‘s Coffee), which led into a 4 hour conceptual design devel- opment session (plus more Tully‘s Coffee), before concluding with an hour long open house to present the concept designs over more Tully‘s Coffee. This was a long but energizing day as nearly 30 people stayed all 7 hours to creatively work together under the watchful eye of the Pomegranate Center to direct participants and keep things moving forward. Some of the shared design principles that came out of the meeting were: Beautify the existing structures on site, due to the budget of the project and permitting complications. Use the frontage along 35th Ave NE to create a courtyard of sorts for people to gather. (Continued on page 7) Pandora’s Adult Cabaret Coming to Wedgwood? In May, the City approved a permit for a new adult cabaret to replace the Seven Seas restaurant along Lake City Way, in northwest Wedgwood. -

Thornton Creek Watershed
Thornton Creek Watershed The Thornton Creek Watershed carries stormwater from over 11.6 miles of North Seattle and Shoreline. The creek’s main channels extend more than 15 miles and run through over 700 backyards. The creek has historically been home to five different species of salmon as well as coyotes, river otters, beavers, and birds such as eagles, owls, and herons. The creek also provides habitat for many smaller creatures like amphibians, reptiles, and insects. Olympic Hills Cedar Park Northgate Hazel Wolf John Rogers Olympic View Sacajawea Licton Springs Wedgewood Cascadia Thornton Creek Water Thornton Creek Decatur Quality Channel Issue #: [Date] Dolor Sit Amet Place Histories: ThorntonHistories: Creek Water Quality Channel & Northeast SeattleThe area along Thornton Creek has been stewarded since time immemorial by the Duwamish and other Puget Sound Salish peoples. At one point, the location of the Thornton Creek Water Quality Channel was known as “Bald Head” by the Duwamish Tribe, describing the bowl-shaped marshy swale that once filled the area around Northgate Mall and North Seattle College. Bald Head was a place to collect resources such as highbush cranberries and marsh tea indicating a much different, more effective water drainage system than seen today. As the city grew, residents began to build homes and farms in the Northgate area. Over time much of Thornton Creek and its tributaries were diverted into pipes. Northgate Mall was built in 1950 and the south fork of Thornton Creek was diverted into a 5 foot wide pipe buried 20 feet below a parking lot. In 2003, a group of diverse stakeholders (such as community, environmental, and business advocates) developed a plan to meet the needs of the growing community. -

Matthews Beach Restoration Project Proposal
Matthews Beach Restoration Project Proposal Compiled by Rebecca Deehr, Derek Beauchemin, Liz Thorsenson, J. Katie Barndt, Jennifer Habetler, Doug Schmitt, Nathan Sakes, Lena Jones, and Suzy Karl EHUF 480, Landscape Plant Selection and Management University of Washington Autumn 2001 Page 1 INTRODUCTION A successful restoration project requires balancing the needs of the group responsible for the restoration with those of the general public. At the Matthews Beach restoration site, the public is composed of several different groups including homeowners in the surrounding area and other visitors who may come from farther away to access the park. To address the concerns of all parties, we determined the following goals: · Provide or improve wildlife habitat and use native plants per the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation’s Urban Wildlife and Habitat Management Plan · Preserve the basic functionality of the restoration site (i.e., keep the overall design, with its previous goals intact) · Increase the functionality of the stream as a salmon nursery · Provide access to the waterfront for the public · Take the restoration project to “the next level” by dealing with problems that have arisen, and providing a long-term maintenance plan · Provide education about restoration, native plants, fish & wildlife habitat and ecosystem health · Preserve views where possible To achieve these goals we concentrated on six areas. Our focus for this project has been primarily on the areas west of the small creek and main pond. The remainder of the site has more mature vegetation, and the only recommendation we are making at this time is the removal of invasive plants. -
Impacts of Habitat Restorationand the Status of Avian Communities
Impacts of Habitat Restoration and the Status of Avian Communities in Seattle City Parks CJ Battey • Toby Ross © TOM SANDERS © DOUG SCHURMAN © TIM BOYER Anna’s Hummingbird Lesser Scaup © DOUG SCHURMAN © DOUG SCHURMAN Yellow Warbler Yellow Heermann’s Gull Bottom left: A volunteer engaged in the Neighborhood Bird Project at Magnuson Park counts gulls and waterfowl on a platform in Lake Washington. BACKGROUND The Neighborhood Bird Project (NBP) is a citizen science initiative that began in 1994, conceived, developed and managed by the Seattle Audubon Society. The NBP has two main goals; the first to monitor trends in avian abundance in Seattle City parks and green spaces. The second aims to empower citizens in becoming advocates for birds and wildlife habitat in their neighborhoods and communities. Monthly surveys are conducted by teams of volunteer bird watchers who conduct surveys at eight King County parks and green spaces – Carkeek Park, Golden Gardens Park, Discovery Park, Seward Park, Genesee Park, Washington Park Arboretum, Magnuson Park and Lake Forest Park. The data from these surveys provide an insight into the avian diversity and abundance in urban areas and affords an appreciation of the diversity that can be found in cities given appropriate quality habitat. Introduction City parks present a unique opportunity for public communities, the Seattle Audubon Society started the engagement with nature, as well as providing habitat Neighborhood Bird Project (NBP) in 1994, with a series of for wildlife and ecosystem services for millions of urban volunteer-led surveys in Carkeek Park. Surveys have since residents. Within the urban core of Seattle, city parks have expanded to seven other sites, and today are conducted been the focus of many habitat restoration projects to once a month, year-round, at each of over 200 survey points improve habitat quality and restore degraded lands – efforts distributed in natural or restored habitats in the Seattle area. -

Comprehensive List of Seattle Parks Bonus Feature for Discovering Seattle Parks: a Local’S Guide by Linnea Westerlind
COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF SEATTLE PARKS BONUS FEATURE FOR DISCOVERING SEATTLE PARKS: A LOCAL’S GUIDE BY LINNEA WESTERLIND Over the course of writing Discovering Seattle Parks, I visited every park in Seattle. While my guidebook describes the best 100 or so parks in the city (in bold below), this bonus feature lists all the parks in the city that are publicly owned, accessible, and worth a visit. Each park listing includes its address and top features. I skipped parks that are inaccessible (some of the city’s greenspaces have no paths or access points) and ones that are simply not worth a visit (just a square of grass in a median). This compilation also includes the best of the 149 waterfront street ends managed by the Seattle Department of Transportation that have been developed into mini parks. I did not include the more than 80 community P-Patches that are managed by the Department of Neighbor- hoods, although many are worth a visit to check out interesting garden art and peek at (but don’t touch) the garden beds bursting with veggies, herbs, and flowers. For more details, links to maps, and photos of all these parks, visit www.yearofseattleparks.com. Have fun exploring! DOWNTOWN SEATTLE & THE Kobe Terrace. 650 S.
