Historic Cemetery Resources
HISTORIC CEMETERY RESOURCES Technical Paper No. 11 Historic Preservation Program, Department of Natural Resources & Parks, 20l S. Jackson Street, Suite 700, Seattle, WA 98104, 206-477-4538 | TTY Relay: 711 Introduction Cemeteries and funerary objects are often of value beyond their traditional role as personal and family memorials or religious sacramentals. They may be historically significant as landmarks, designed landscapes or as repositories of historical information relating to communities, ethnic heritage and other heritage topics. The following resources have been compiled for individuals and organizations interested in cemetery records, research and preservation. Records & Research Area genealogical societies, museums, historical societies, pioneer associations, libraries and hereditary associations often have records and publications of interest. Among the organizations with information on cemeteries are: Seattle Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 15329, Seattle WA 98115-0329 South King County Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 3174, Kent, WA 98089-0203 Eastside Genealogical Society. P.O. Box 374, Bellevue, WA 98009-0374 Seattle Public Library, 1000 Fourth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104-1109 Pioneer Association of the State of Washington, 1642 43rd Avenue E., Seattle, WA 98112 Fiske Genealogical Foundation, 1644 43rd Avenue E., Seattle, WA 98112-3222 Many historical societies and museum groups around King County have been instrumental in preserving and maintaining cemeteries. The Association of King County Historical Organizations (www.akcho.org) maintains a directory of area historical museums and organizations. A directory of historical organizations can also be found on the internet at www.historylink.org A number of churches and religious organizations own and operate cemeteries and maintain records of value to cemetery research. -
SR 520, I-5 to Medina: Bridge Replacement and HOV Project Area Encompasses One of the Most Diverse and Complex Human and Natural Landscapes in the Puget Sound Region
Chapter 4: The Project Area’s Environment Chapter 4: The Project Area’s Environment The SR 520, I-5 to Medina: Bridge Replacement and HOV Project area encompasses one of the most diverse and complex human and natural landscapes in the Puget Sound region. It includes areas in Seattle from I-5 to the Lake Washington shore, the waters of Lake Washington, and a portion of the Eastside communities and neighborhoods from the eastern shoreline of the lake to Evergreen Point Road. It also includes densely developed urban and suburban areas and some of the most critical natural areas and sensitive ecosystems that remain in the urban growth area. The project area includes the following: ▪ Seattle neighborhoods—Eastlake, Portage Bay/Roanoke, North Capitol Hill, Montlake, University District, Laurelhurst, and Madison Park ▪ The Lake Washington ecosystem and the bays, streams, and wetlands that are associated with it ▪ The Eastside community of Medina ▪ Usual and accustomed fishing areas of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, who have historically used the area’s fisheries resources and has treaty rights for their protection and use This chapter describes what the project area is like today, setting the stage for the project’s effects described in Chapters 5 and 6. 4.1 Transportation The configuration of SR 520 today, with its inadequate shoulders and gaps in HOV lanes, makes the corridor especially prone to traffic congestion. And, as commuters on SR 520 know, the corridor is overloaded with traffic on a regular basis. Population and employment continue to grow both on the Eastside and in Seattle, resulting in new travel patterns and a steady rise in the number of vehicles crossing the Evergreen Point Bridge. -
Report to the Community Fy15
REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY F Y15 INSPIRING A SMARTER WORLD Dear Friends, FY 2015 was a year of challenges and great opportunities, and a turning point in KCTS 9’s 60-year history. I am happy to share that the year has been a success. Your support has allowed us to meet our goal of providing meaningful content that is relevant to our community—on air, online and in person. The media landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, with fundamental changes in the way audiences choose and view content. Today, more than one in three visitors to KCTS9.org use a tablet or mobile device to connect with us. Five years ago, that figure was less than 5 percent. With new tools and technologies, the public has become actively involved in the creation, selection and distribution of content. We live in a world where time-shifted viewing, streaming video, tablets and smartphones have profoundly changed how audiences consume and share content. How does a public media organization stand out when, with today’s technology, everyone is a media company? We met this challenge by launching an initiative to produce innovative digital offerings that broaden the content we provide and the platforms on which we provide it. While staying true to our mission to inspire a smarter world, we shifted to a digital-first strategy. We are committed to creating, commissioning and curating local content with a continued adherence to the public-media beliefs that have defined KCTS 9 for 60 years. In FY 2015, we brought you live public dialogues including political debates and election coverage; a current affairs series that explores in depth stories from across the Northwest; local specials on environmental issues; community events that celebrate our diverse cultures; and educational programming that is free and accessible to all. -

Americanization and Cultural Preservation in Seattle's Settlement House: A Jewish Adaptation of the Anglo-American Model of Settlement Work ALISSA SCHWARTZ New York City This articleexamines the dual agendas of Americanization and preserva- tion of Ashkenazic Jewish culture through an historicalanalysis of the work of Seattle's Settlement House, a social service center founded in 1906 by elite, Americanized Jews to serve poorer, immigrant Jews of Ashkenazic and Sephardic origin. Such analysis is set against the ideologicalbackdrop of Anglo-Americanism which pervaded the field of social work in its early efforts at self-definition and professionalization.Particular attention is paid to the role of the arts at Settlement House, with comparisons to Chicago's Hull-House, the prototypical American settlement operating at the turn of the century. This case study analyzes a German Jewish adaptationof an Anglo-American, Christian model of social work. -
