Several schemes have sought to create softened shoreline edges that would include islands and floating piers in the Elliott Bay, as well as integrating canals into new waterfront developments. In restoring near-shore habitats, many schemes have included coves, ledges and shelves along the seawalls. In a proposal entitled Reversed Evolution, Terminal 46 was converted into a Duwamish Basin Park, featuring naturalistic shoreline, mixed with housing and recreational facilities. To provide a more in-depth discussion of the proposals, the following discussion focuses on three of the proposals that explicitly respond to the waterfront's hybrid conditions. Edge Habitat(s) From the City-sponsored charrette, the group Edge Habitat(s), formed by graduate students and a faculty member from University of Washington, created a series of designs that highlighted the mixing of ecological processes and urban activities on the waterfront. The design elements included Salmon Spirals that would create false bathymetry by retrofitting existing pier columns. The design features a spiral ramp that would slope down into the water to provide habitats for salmons and other juvenile fish. The spiral can also be Figure 1.

The Seattle Foundation’s commitment to building a healthy community for all King County residents remains as strong as ever. In 2008, with our donors, we granted more than $63 million to over 2000 organizations and promising initiatives in King County and beyond. Though our assets declined like most investments nationwide, The Seattle Foundation’s portfolio performed well when benchmarked against comparable endowments. In the longer term, The Seattle Foundation has outperformed portfolios comprised of traditional stocks and bonds due to prudent and responsible stewardship of charitable funds that has been the basis of our investment strategy for decades. The Seattle Foundation is also leading efforts to respond to increasing need in our community. Late last year The Seattle Foundation joined forces with the United Way of King County and other local funders to create the Building Resilience Fund—a three-year, $6 million effort to help local people who have been hardest hit by the economic downturn. Through this fund, we are bolstering the capacity of selected nonprofits to meet increasing basic needs and providing a network of services to put people on the road on self-reliance.

Steinbrueck attended the University of Washington, earning a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1935. He joined the faculty at the University of Washington in 1946 and taught until his retirement in 1976. He was the author of Seattle Cityscape (1962), Seattle Cityscape II (1973) and a collections of his drawings, Market Sketchbook (1968). Victor Steinbrueck was Seattle's best known advocate of historic preservation. He led the battle against the city's redevelopment plans for the Pike Place Market in the 1960s. In 1959, the City of Seattle, together with the Central Association of Seattle, formulated plans to obtain a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) urban renewal grant to tear down the Market and everything else between First and Western, from Union to Lenora, in order to build a high rise residential, commercial and hotel complex.

  • Urban Blue Space and “The Project of the Century”: Doing Justice on the Seattle Waterfront and for Local Residents
    Buildings 2014, 4, 764-784; doi:10.3390/buildings4040764 OPEN ACCESS buildings ISSN 2075-5309 www.mdpi.com/journal/buildings/ Article Urban Blue Space and “The Project of the Century”: Doing Justice on the Seattle Waterfront and for Local Residents Anne Taufen Wessells Urban Studies Program, University of Washington, Tacoma, 1900 Commerce Street, Box 358437, Tacoma, WA 98402, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-253-692-4319; Fax: +1-253-692-4800 External Editor: Sharon Sutton Received: 12 April 2014; in revised form: 23 September 2014 / Accepted: 24 September 2014 / Published: 20 October 2014 Abstract: Urban blue space is increasingly embraced by cities as a specific and valuable genre of public space, valued for its economic, symbolic and experiential place attributes and essential to sustainable urban development. This article takes up the concept of urban blue space from a design perspective, extending and exploring it through a critical social science lens. Using the reconfiguration and redesign of the central Seattle waterfront as a case example, the idea of “doing justice” is enlisted to examine not just the design opportunities and formal characteristics of the site, but also the patterns of privilege, access and regional socio-ecological equity that are raised through its redesign. After situating the extraordinary design opportunity presented by this iconic urban blue space, and the imperative to do justice to the waterfront’s physical situation, the article presents the site from four additional and discrete perspectives: economic justice, environmental justice, social justice and tribal justice. By thus foregrounding the urban political ecology of the waterfront, the article demonstrates that the most important challenge of the site’s redevelopment is not technological, financial or administrative, although these are real, and significant challenges, but rather, the need to construct a place that works to counter established patterns of local and regional injustice.
