Languages English Historical Note The Department of Parks and Recreation maintains the City's parks, shorelines, and boulevards; and administers community centers, public golf courses, and other athletic and cultural facilities. Seattle's first park was established in 1884 after David Denny donated land to the City for that purpose. At that time, a three-member park committee, with limited authority, was created to manage the nascent park system. A Board of Parks Commissioners was established in 1890 with control over all public parks and authority to appoint a Parks Superintendent. In 1896, the City Charter created the position of Superintendent of Streets, Sewers and Parks. The Parks Department became a separate entity in 1904. In 1926, a City Charter amendment abolished the position of Superintendent, distributing its responsibilities between the Head Gardener and the Landscape Architect. A 1948 City Charter amendment required the Board of Park Commissioners to appoint a park superintendent to administer the department. In 1967, another City Charter Amendment reconstituted the Board as an advisory body to the Mayor and City Council, changed the agency name to Department of Parks and Recreation, and placed fiscal and operational administration under the superintendent. In 1902 the City hired the Olmsted Brothers, the country's premier landscape architectural firm, to design a parks and boulevards system. Although not all of the plan was implemented, the Olmsted legacy is evident in many of Seattle's parks and boulevards. The City acquired significant amounts of property for park purposes following the turn of the 20th Century, but in 1926 further acquisition was limited by a City Charter amendment that stipulated only money in the Park Fund could be used for that purpose. However, Seattle Parks Superintendent's Subject Files, 1936-1993 1 http://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv89434 in the 1970s the Forward Thrust Bond issue, along with federal grants and the Seattle Model City Program, supported the largest expansion of the Park system in Seattle history. These programs funded more than 70 new parks and park facilities. The Department manages over 6,000 acres of park land, over two dozen community centers, five municipal golf courses, the Aquarium, and many other recreational and athletic facilities. Content Description Correspondence, memoranda, reports, and other materials related to the administration of the parks system and recreation programs.

    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.

Development Western Mill, early 1890s, at the south end of Lake Union and the principal employer for the greater Cascade neighborhood Development accelerated after David Denny built the Western Mill in 1882, near the site of today’s Naval Reserve Center, and cut a barrier at Montlake to float logs between the lakes. Homes soon began to appear on the Lake Union’s south shore, ranging from the ornate Queen Anne-style mansion built by Margaret Pontius in 1889 (which served as the “Mother Ryther Home” for orphans from 1905 to 1920) to humble worker's cottages. The latter housed a growing number of immigrants from Scandinavia, Greece, Russia, and America’s own teeming East, attracted by jobs in Seattle’s burgeoning mills and on its bustling docks. Beginning in 1894, their children attended Cascade School -- which finally gave the neighborhood a name -- and families worshipped on Sundays at St.

Jennie Grant, President & Founder, Goat Justice League, and a Seattle Tilth instructor “The prudent man does not make the goat his gardener,” says an old Hungarian prov- erb, and it certainly is hard to imagine how a goat could beautify your garden. However, a farm animal “garden room” adds tremen- dous interest to your yard, and with a hand- some goat shed and lots of wood chips, it lends a certain charm. Goats are always up to something interesting–relaxing in the sun, chewing their cud, or trying figure out a way to break out of their yard and eat your prize rose bushes. While adding interest to the garden, for many Seattleites, the primary reason to keep goats is the milk they produce.

    The Best Day, Or 2, in Seattle, Washington Best Time to Go

    GO TO ADVENTURE PAGE The Best Day, or 2, in Seattle, Washington Best Time to Go: Summer, July – September Summary: There are a lot of misconceptions about Seattle and Washington being rainy. But in fact, Seattle receives less precipitation than any city east of the Mississippi River. Out of the Top 60 largest cities in the United States, Seattle ranks as the #32nd rainiest city in the country, with about 35-37 inches of precipitation per year on average. New Orleans, the #1 rainiest city in the country, gets around 63 inches of rain per year, almost double Seattle. So where does the misconception come from? Hollywood, 1st and foremost. But the answer lies in Seattle’s Mediterranean climate and 4 distinct seasons. Seattle has extremely dry, mild summers, a very distinct autumn and spring, and a very wet, mild winter. Seattle gets nearly all its annual precipitation in winter, and it rains or drizzles or is overcast nearly every day from November through February. This long period of cloudy skies has given Seattle a bad rap for its weather, but we think Seattle has some of THE BEST WEATHER in the entire country! Visit in the summer for some of the most reliably clear, comfortable, long sunny days you have ever experienced. Our recommendations for a day exploring Seattle: 1. Wake up early, get some Starbucks or Seattle’s Best Coffee, walk or ride down to the Seattle waterfront 2. We highly recommend you start your day out with an Argosy Cruises Harbor Cruise, you will not regret it: Argosy Cruises: https://www.argosycruises.com/ 3.

    Local Places to Visit Around Seattle

    Eastside Literacy Talk Time Spring 2006 Talk Time Topic: Local Places to Visit around Seattle Let’s get started… Take a few minutes to think of a local place that you visited. • Where did you go, and what did you do? • Who went with you? (friends, family, etc.) • How much did it cost? • Would you recommend this place to others? Why or why not? Background: Many people go to coffee shops (Starbucks is a favorite destination) or shopping when they have cabin fever. At other times, they want a longer trip or a change of scenery so they take a day trip. Families, couples, and people of all ages enjoy seeing or doing something new. The Seattle area offers many different types of things to do and see close to home. It is possible to take a ferry, drive to the mountains, and visit the Pike Place Market all in the same day! Spend 5 minutes asking each other the following questions. Interview 2-3 people about any local trips that they have taken. Work with your Talk Time leader to complete the grid below. Share your results with the group. Name Where did you go? What did you see? Would you go again? Discussion Questions: What places would you like to visit? How can you find out more about the cost, the transportation and any other questions you might have? What activities do you enjoy doing? Do you prefer indoor or outdoor activities? What did you do in your country? Did you take local trips? Where did you go? Did you take trips in Winter? Spring? Summer? Fall? Why? Some outings are “kid friendly” and others are not.
