    Parks and Recreation

    PARKS AND RECREATION Parks and Recreation Overview of Facilities and Programs The Department of Parks and Recreation manages 400 parks and open areas in its approximately 6,200 acres of property throughout the City, works with the public to be good stewards of the park system, and provides safe and welcoming opportunities for the public to play, learn, contemplate, and build community. The park system comprises about 10% of the City’s land area; it includes 485 buildings, 224 parks, 185 athletic fields, 122 children's play areas, 24 community centers, 151 outdoor tennis courts, 22 miles of boulevards, an indoor tennis center, two outdoor and eight indoor swimming pools, four golf courses, studios, boat ramps, moorage, fishing piers, trails, camps, viewpoints and open spaces, a rock climbing site, a conservatory, a classical Japanese garden, and a waterfront aquarium. The development of this system is guided by the Seattle Parks & Recreation Plan 2000, the 38 neighborhood plans, the Joint Athletic Facilities Development Program with the Seattle School District, the 1999 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, the 2000 Parks Levy, and DPR’s annual update to the Major Maintenance Plan. 2000 Parks Levy In November 2000, Seattle voters approved a $198.2 million levy lid lift for Parks and Recreation. The levy closely follows the plan forged by the Pro Parks 2000 Citizens Planning Committee. The levy is designed to fund more than 100 projects to improve maintenance and enhance programming of existing parks, including the Woodland Park Zoo; acquire, develop and maintain new neighborhood parks, green spaces, playfields, trails and boulevards; and add out-of-school and senior activities.

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.

Chinese gardens are distinctive in their symbolic use of water, stone, plants, and architecture to create a place of beauty, vibrant with flowing qi, the universal energy. These four elements manifest the opposing principles of yin (earth/receptive/dark) and yang (heaven/creative/bright).

    Technical Memo To Wes Ducey, SDOT Project Manager Lisa Reid, PE, PMP/SCJ Alliance From: Marni C Heffron, PE, PTOE/Heffron Transportation Inc. Date: April 17, 2019 Project: Magnolia Bridge Planning Study Subject Alternatives Analysis Summary 1. Executive Summary The existing Magnolia Bridge currently serves to connect to and from Magnolia, Smith Cove Park/Elliott Bay Marina, Terminal 91/Elliot Bay Businesses, and 15th Ave W. The bridge serves 17,000 ADT and 3 King County Metro bus lines serving an average of 3,000 riders each weekday. The bridge was constructed 90 years ago and has deteriorated. While SDOT continues to perform maintenance to maintain public safety, the age and condition of the bridge structure means there will continue to be deterioration. In 2006, following a 4-year planning study; however, over the last decade, funding has not been identified to advance this alternative beyond 30% design. This Magnolia Bridge Planning Study identified three Alternatives to the 2006 recommend In-Kind Replacement option. These Alternatives, along with the In-Kind Replacement option, have been analyzed and compared through a multi-criteria evaluation process. Focusing on the main connections into Magnolia and Smith Cove Park/Elliott Bay Marina, the Alternatives identified are: Alternative 1: a new Armory Way Bridge into Magnolia and a new Western Perimeter Road to Smith Cove Park/Elliott Bay Marina ($200M - $350M), Alternative 2: Improvements to the existing Dravus St connection into Magnolia and a new Western Perimeter Road to Smith Cove Park/Elliott Bay Marina ($190M – $350M), Alternative 3: Improvements to the existing Dravus St connection into Magnolia and a new Garfield St bridge to Smith Cove Park/Elliott Bay Marina ($210M - $360M), and Alternative 4: In-Kind Replacement of the existing Magnolia Bridge adjacent to its current location ($340M – $420M).

    PARKS AND RECREATION Parks & Recreation Overview of Facilities and Programs The Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) manages more than 430 parks and open areas in its approximately 6,200 acres of property throughout the City; works with the public to be good stewards of the park system; and provides safe and welcoming opportunities for the public to play, learn, contemplate, and build community. The park system comprises about 11% of the City’s land area. It includes approximately 488 buildings and 430 parks that feature 185 athletic fields, 130 children’s play areas, 26 community centers, 151 outdoor tennis courts, 22 miles of boulevards, an indoor tennis center, two outdoor and eight indoor swimming pools, five golf courses, performing and visual arts studios, boat ramps, moorages, fishing piers, trails, camps, viewpoints, open spaces, a rock climbing site, a conservatory, a state-of-the art zoo, a classical Japanese garden, and a waterfront aquarium. The development of this system is guided by the Seattle Parks & Recreation Plan 2000, the 38 neighborhood plans, the Joint Athletic Facilities Development Program, the 1999 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, the 2000 Parks Levy, and DPR’s annual update to the Asset Management Plan. Funds for the projects in this document come from a variety of sources, including two levies, the Cumulative Reserve Subfund, Councilmanic debt, and the Shoreline Park Improvement Fund, in addition to many other special fund sources, grants, and private donations. In 1999, Seattle voters approved a renewal of the 1991 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, continuing Seattle Parks and Recreation’s commitment to renovate and expand old community centers and provide new ones for underserved areas.
