Seattle is fortunate that its neighborhoods and communities enjoy a relatively high degree of safety and stability. The Panel recognizes that this is due, in large part, to the dedication of Seattle police officers. The majority of these officers work day in and day out, forging bonds with residents and successfully improving communities in which they serve. Most are rarely subject to any form of disciplinary complaint. Similarly, the Panel recognizes the work of the current and former Office

  • You Can Make History Live!
    Washington History Day Topic Guide You can make history live! History Day is a contest for students that encourages the use of primary sources to get an up-close and personal view of an historical event. More than finding a summary in an encyclopedia or locating some pictures on the web, primary sources work to illustrate your topic from a first person point of view. And while you can find primary sources online, the real thrill of historical research comes from holding actual documents from that time in your hands! By doing your own research, asking and answering key historical questions you can become an expert on a topic and tell its story through a History Day project. The phrase “it isn’t just a day…it’s an experience” defines History Day. You become the historian! Extend the walls of the classroom into archives, college libraries and manuscripts collections, museums and other places that hold the information that you will need to interpret your topic. Learn more about your own family and community history, or some other topic that really matters to you. Use this Topic Guide to search for subjects within Pacific Northwest history that are of interest to you and locate primary source documents on those topics in nearby archives or libraries.

  • A Case Study on the Influence of Values, Beliefs, and Life Experiences in Government Agenda-Setting
    THE NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT AND ENVIRONMENT DEBATE: A CASE STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF VALUES, BELIEFS, AND LIFE EXPERIENCES IN GOVERNMENT AGENDA-SETTING Laurie A. Perin A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Edmund Danziger, Jr., Advisor Shannon Orr ii ABSTRACT Dr. Edmund Danziger, Jr., Advisor This thesis examines the process of government agenda-setting by using the historic North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and environment debate, and the roles that Congressman Donald Pease, Congressman Sherrod Brown, and Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur played within it, as case studies. It demonstrates that American trade policy never included environmental protection as a primary concern until the creation of NAFTA in the early-1990s. In order to analyze why the environment became a leading concern within the trade agenda in the early-1990s when it had never before represented a trade-related issue, this thesis employs Political Scientist John Kingdon's "agenda-setting" theory to determine which factors prompted policymakers like Pease, Brown, and Kaptur to demand that trade officials incorporate environmental protections into NAFTA. Kingdon argues that three factors cause policymakers to bring new issues to a government agenda: how they recognize and define problems, how they are affected by political events, and how they develop policy proposals from their own values, beliefs, and life experiences. Connecting the "agenda-setting" theory to the NAFTA and environment historiography reveals that academics have highlighted several factors that influenced policymakers' perceptions of NAFTA and the environment.

  • Police Accountability in Seattle, 1955-2020 Anne Frantilla, Seattle Municipal Archives
    1 Police Accountability in Seattle, 1955-2020 Anne Frantilla, Seattle Municipal Archives President Truman established the Advisory Committee on Civil Rights in December 1946 to address racial tensions in the United States. In an address at the Lincoln Memorial to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Truman stated, “The conscience of our nation, and the legal machinery which enforces it, have not yet secured to each citizen full freedom from fear.”1 Indeed, the Advisory Committee stated in its December 1947 final report, titled To Secure These Rights, that “the civil rights of certain minority groups have been in particular danger,” citing police brutality and a justice system that failed to provide “full and equal justice.” The discrimination highlighted in To Secure These Rights existed in Seattle. The Black population in Seattle grew from 3,800 in 1940 to 15,700 in 1950. Discrimination, in the form of housing, redlining, and employment, served to escalate tensions between the white and Black communities and other minorities, and between the police and the Black community as well. Attempts to provide a mechanism for a form of police accountability began in 1955. That year, after repeated allegations of police brutality in the Seattle Police Department (SPD), Mayor Allen Pomeroy established an Advisory Committee on Police Practices which recommended establishment of a police advisory board. The recommendation was not followed. Over the years, however, and as a result of many protests, committees and conversations, incremental progress was made in forming mechanisms of accountability between the police and the community. A three-part civilian oversight system was set up in 2002, which included the Office of Professional Accountability (OPA), the OPA Review Board, and an OPA Auditor.

  • PAD500 Mayor Schell's Zero Homeless Family
    The Electronic Hallway ® Case Teaching Resources FROM THE EVANS SCHOO L OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS Box 353060 · University of Washington · Seattle WA 98195-3060 www.hallway.org MAYOR SCHELL’S ZERO HOMELESS FAMILY PLEDGE On June 2nd, 1998, Mayor Paul Schell spoke to the press about the needs of homeless families, women and children. He asked for the City Council’s support in providing “immediate emergency assistance to homeless families and single women, a critical step in providing lasting housing solutions for these families and individuals.” He noted that “the problem continues to grow and we absolutely must find better ways to help people find and keep housing.” He closed his remarks with a firm pledge that there will be no homeless families with children or homeless single women on the streets of Seattle by Christmas 1998. His pledge made headlines in both Seattle papers the next day. Alan Painter, Director of the Community Services Division of the Department of Housing and Human Services, listened attentively to the new Mayor’s remarks. Painter has dedicated his professional career to serving the needs of homeless people. He was proud and excited to hear Schell’s passion and commitment to addressing homelessness in Seattle. At the same time, he viewed the pledge with some trepidation. Counting the number of homeless people on the street at any given time is notoriously tricky, influenced by many factors. Further, he wondered how this pledge would dovetail with City priorities and plans for dealing with homelessness. These plans emphasize services to homeless people rather than just providing beds and they stress the need for other jurisdictions to share in funding homeless services.
