  • 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.

This comprehensive plan addresses the existing site as well as phased implementation of new signage over the next 20 years to align with the vision of the Century 21 Master Plan. Seattle Center has a wide spectrum of architecture and open spaces, large and small, loud and quiet, and everything in between. Signage is one of several design elements that can visually unify the site and create greater consistency within the environment. Decongesting and de-cluttering the site by removing outdated signage will help deliver a simpler, cleaner, and greener message about the campus. We can create a more welcoming campus and make the edges and entrances of the site more porous by providing event information at key locations and in creative ways at campus entries and around the perimeter. The signage system will be a key contributor to promoting the brand, contributing to a sense of safety and security, and enhancing the experience of visiting Seattle Center.

    Seattle Parks Superintendent's Subject Files, 1936-1993 Overview of the Collection Creator Seattle (Wash.). Dept. of Parks and Recreation Title Seattle Parks Superintendent's Subject Files Dates 1936-1993 (inclusive) 19361993 Quantity 55.8 cubic feet, (140 boxes) Collection Number 5802-01 Summary Records related to the administration of the parks system and recreation programs. Repository Seattle Municipal Archives Seattle Municipal Archives Office of the City Clerk City of Seattle PO Box 94728 98124-4728 Seattle, WA Telephone: 206-233-7807 Fax: 206-386-9025 [email protected] Access Restrictions Records are open to the public. Languages English Historical Note The Department of Parks and Recreation maintains the City's parks, shorelines, and boulevards; and administers community centers, public golf courses, and other athletic and cultural facilities. Seattle's first park was established in 1884 after David Denny donated land to the City for that purpose. At that time, a three-member park committee, with limited authority, was created to manage the nascent park system. A Board of Parks Commissioners was established in 1890 with control over all public parks and authority to appoint a Parks Superintendent. In 1896, the City Charter created the position of Superintendent of Streets, Sewers and Parks. The Parks Department became a separate entity in 1904. In 1926, a City Charter amendment abolished the position of Superintendent, distributing its responsibilities between the Head Gardener and the Landscape Architect. A 1948 City Charter amendment required the Board of Park Commissioners to appoint a park superintendent to administer the department. In 1967, another City Charter Amendment reconstituted the Board as an advisory body to the Mayor and City Council, changed the agency name to Department of Parks and Recreation, and placed fiscal and operational administration under the superintendent.

  • Parks and Recreation Facilities in the Plan Area
    APPENDIX G Parks and Recreation Facilities in the Plan Area November 2014 Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement This appendix lists and illustrates the parks and recreation facilities in the Plan area based on available geographic information systems (GIS) data. GIS data sources were as follows: • Snohomish County • King County • Pierce County • City of Everett • City of Mountlake Terrace • City of Redmond • City of Lake Forest Park This information was not verified in the field and parks and recreation facility representatives were not contacted to determine ownership or the recreational uses associated with these resources. Over 1,300 parks and recreation facilities were listed in the available GIS database including a wide variety of open space areas, sports fields, trails, and water- oriented facilities. The park or recreation facility ID numbers in Table G-1 correspond to those ID numbers in Figure G-1 and Figure G-2. The fact that a facility is listed in this appendix is not intended to suggest that the facility is subject to Section 4(f) protection. Section 4(f) does not apply to every park or recreation facility so this list is deliberately more extensive than would be a list of resources covered by that statute (which also covers properties other than parks and recreation facilities that are not listed here). The determination of whether a resource is entitled to protection under Section 4(f) involves a number of factors including, but not limited to, the facility’s background and purpose, its significance, and whether it has been reserved for a future transportation facility.

  • SEATTLE ★★★ Seattle Is a Charming Port City Nestled Between Mountains and the Pacific Ocean
    DESTINATIONS SEATTLE ★★★ Seattle is a charming port city nestled between mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It has a strong cultural influence, notably as the birthplace of Grunge music, and has produced several corporate giants including Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon and Starbucks. Seattle enjoys a mild, temperate climate and, with its 125 parks, it is affectionately known as the «Emerald City». Before the arrival of European explorers in 1851, the area had been inhabited by Native American tribes for more than 4,000 years. In fact, Chief Seattle, a prominent leader of his time, is featured on the city’s flag.
