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 Artists' View of Seattle
WHERE DOES SEATTLE’S CREATIVE COMMUNITY GO FOR INSPIRATION? Allow us to introduce some of our city’s resident artists, who share with you, in their own words, some of their favorite places and why they choose to make Seattle their home. Known as one of the nation’s cultural centers, Seattle has more arts-related businesses and organizations per capita than any other metropolitan area in the United States, according to a recent study by Americans for the Arts. Our city pulses with the creative energies of thousands of artists who call this their home. In this guide, twenty-four painters, sculptors, writers, poets, dancers, photographers, glass artists, musicians, filmmakers, actors and more tell you about their favorite places and experiences.

I moved into my particular building because it’s across the street from Uptown I performed in musical theater as a kid at a venue in the Seattle Center. I was Espresso. One of the real draws of Seattle for me was the quality of the coffee, I nine years old, and I got paid! I did all kinds of shows, and I also performed with must say. the Civic Light Opera. I was also in the Northwest Boy Choir and we sang this Northwest Medley, and there was a song to Ivar’s restaurant in it.

Report to Our Community • 2014 - 2015 South Seattle College and the South Seattle College Foundation Message from the President and Foundation Chair
Report to Our Community • 2014 - 2015 South Seattle College and the South Seattle College Foundation Message from the President and Foundation Chair Dear Friends, During the past year we’ve seen students in our college transfer programs receive accolades on the national stage and earn significant awards closer to home, demonstrating that South Seattle College is a great choice for students who want to earn a transfer degree. For years, community college has been known as a great option for students seeking professional technical certificates, developmental classes, or continuing education. While that’s still true, it’s also the case that more and more students are realizing what community colleges have been saying for years: you can get an education that prepares you in every way to transfer to a four-year university and position yourself for future academic and career success. Emblematic of the type of academic achievement that is possible at a college like South is graduate David Yama. David is the top scholar in the nation, as recognized by the community college honor society, Phi Theta Kappa, and he is a recipient of the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship. You will learn more about David inside this edition of the Report to Our Community. Many students say that their success started when they received their first scholarships from the South Seattle College Foundation. For many of the 319 students who received scholarships this past year, a scholarship represents more than just freedom from financial worry; it also signifies that someone believes that they can succeed. Sometimes that is all a student needs to inspire them to do more, try harder, and dare to reach for their dreams. -
Timeline of the Garden's Development
Kubota Garden Foundation B. History 1. HISTORICAL CONTEXT The “Alien Land Law,” passed in 1921 by the Washington State Legislature, prohibited people who were not eligible for citizenship from owning land. At that time, Japanese immigrants were not eligible to become citizens. Mr. Kubota worked around this discrimination by purchasing the property in the name of a friend. He purchased more property over time for a total of 20 acres. Eventually, the property title for the first five acres was transferred to Fujitaro’s eldest son, Tak Kubota, who was over 21 years old, born in the U.S., and therefore a citizen. Fujitaro planted nursery stock and created demonstrations of his garden building skill. He was well known for successful transplant and transport of large planting material. The land was chosen for many reasons, including the interesting topography and year- round natural running water. When purchased, the land was recently logged and swampy. There are less than a dozen trees in the garden that were here in 1927. The oldest is the Grand Fir which is over 200 years old and 139-feet tall. This is an American Japanese Garden; Japanese garden elements are blended with plants available in the Pacific Northwest. Traditional Japanese gardens have only shades of green in their plantings. Fujitaro Kubota included trees with more colors – blues and yellows. He helped to create this fusion gardening. Notable Kubota Gardening Company installations include Seattle University, Bloedel Reserve and many private residences. The Kubotas used their aesthetic and artistic vision to build the gardens, painting with trees, stone and water. -
