Cal Anderson Ms 53 1 Cal Anderson Ms 53 Biography Born in Seattle on May 2, 1948, Cal Anderson died of complications from AIDS, August 4, 1995. He lived in the Seattle area all his life and was a graduate of Foster High School in Tukwila. Always involved in public service, Cal was Administrative Aide to Seattle Councilmember George Benson and Appointments Secretary to Seattle Mayor Charles Royer. Appointed to the state House of Representatives in November 1987 by the 43rd precinct Democrats and the King County Council when Representative Janice Niemi filled the state Senate seat vacated by Jim McDermott, Cal was primary sponsor of far reaching legislation to bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. In 1993, he cosponsored the malicious harassment law which passed the legislature. It provided for punishment of crimes motivated by bias without infringing freedom of speech and added gender and sexual orientation to the protected categories. The civil rights bill he sponsored in the 1994 legislature passed the House and fell just one vote short of support of passage in the Senate. Cal worked hard, in 1994, to defeat two anti-Gay initiative drives that would have mandated discrimination against Gays and Lesbians, and he was one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that challenged the initiatives’ constitutionality. In 1994, Cal ran for Janice Niemi’s open Senate seat and won. As Washington state’s first openly Gay legislator, Cal Anderson was far from being a one issue person. Working persistently and effectively for all his constituents, Cal labored for campaign finance reform, regulatory reform, motor-voter registration, military issues, environmental protection, and open access to government documents. He introduced many bills related to AIDS and AIDS funding. Scope and Content: The Cal Anderson papers cover the years 1987-1997. The records are divided into six record series: Constituent File, Subject File, Chronological File, Questionnaires, Miscellaneous Items, and Awards. The Constituent Files are arranged alphabetically and cover the years, 1988-1991. This series consists of correspondence between Cal Anderson and his constituency. The Subject File is arranged alphabetically and dates from 1987-1995. The series shows the different issues, bills, and organizations in which Cal Anderson had an interest, such as Gay and Lesbian civil rights, hate mail, gun rights, and immigrations. Some folders contain a document listing created by Anderson’s office. Chronological Files contain the results of research requested by Anderson regarding the history of Gay rights legislation relating to House Bill 1443 and range from 1977 - 1995. Records include the text of bills, Washington State Congressional directories, articles, and reports. Questionnaires are arranged alphabetically and date from 1988-1994. The folders are questionnaires and correspondence sent by different organizations asking Anderson for his views on specific issues such as abortion rights, gun control, the right of unions to strike, or education. The correspondence also includes letter of endorsement for Anderson by some of the organizations after review of his questionnaire answers. 2 Miscellaneous Items include questionnaires for Edward Murray, Anderson’s chosen successor, a park prospectus, and photographs.

  • City of Seattle Edward B
    City of Seattle Edward B. Murray, Mayor Finance and Administrative Services Fred Podesta, Director July 25, 2016 The Honorable Tim Burgess Seattle City Hall 501 5th Ave. Seattle, WA 98124 Councilmember Burgess, Attached is an annual report of all real property under City ownership. The annual review supports strategic management of the City’s real estate holdings. Because City needs change over time, the annual review helps create opportunities to find the best municipal use of each property or put it back into the private sector to avoid holding properties without an adopted municipal purpose. Each January, FAS initiates the annual review process. City departments with jurisdiction over real property assure that all recent acquisitions and/or dispositions are accurately represented, and provide current information about each property’s current use, and future use, if identified. Each property is classified based on its level of utilization -- from Fully Utilized Municipal Use to Surplus. In addition, in 2015 and 2016, in conjunction with CBO, OPI, and OH, FAS has been reviewing properties with the HALA recommendation on using surplus property for housing. The attached list has a new column that groups excess, surplus, underutilized and interim use properties into categories to help differentiate the potential for various sites. Below is a matrix which explains the categorization: Category Description Difficult building site Small, steep and/or irregular parcels with limited development opportunity Future Use Identified use in the future

  • 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.

    he Green Seattle Partnership 20-Year Plan was inspired by over 10 years and more than 500,000 hours of citizen volunteerism dedicated Tto reforestation of Seattle’s Parks. The Green Seattle Partnership gratefully acknowledges these contributions, which have paved the way for a refined understanding of our approach to the important task of restoring forested parklands. We also appreciate the time and dedication staff and community leaders, particularly among our Executive Council, have dedicated to creating this plan. A large credit goes to the generous donation of the citywide forest inventory created by the Seattle Urban Nature Project, the foundation for the analysis here.
