    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.

  • A Different Kind of Gentrification: Seattle and Its Relationship with Industrial Land
    A Different Kind of Gentrification: Seattle and its Relationship with Industrial Land David Tomporowski A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2019 Committee: Edward McCormack Christine Bae Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Urban Design and Planning College of Built Environments ©Copyright 2019 David Tomporowski University of Washington Abstract A Different Kind of Gentrification: Seattle and its Relationship with Industrial Land David Tomporowski Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Edward McCormack Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering / Department of Urban Design and Planning Industry in Seattle often talks about how they are facing their own kind of gentrification. Rising property values, encroaching pressure for different land uses, and choking transportation all loom as reasons for industrial businesses to relocate out of the city. This research explores this phenomenon of industrial gentrification through a case study of Seattle’s most prominent industrial area: the SODO (“South Of Downtown”) neighborhood. My primary research question asks what the perception and reality of the state of industrial land designation and industrial land use gentrification in Seattle is. Secondary research questions involve asking how industrial land designation and industrial land use can be defined in Seattle, what percentage of land is zoned industrial in the SODO neighborhood, and what percentage of the land use is considered industrial in the SODO neighborhood. Finally, subsequent effects on freight transportation and goods movement will be considered. By surveying actual industrial land use compared to i industrially-zoned land, one can conclude whether industry’s complaints are accurate and whether attempts to protect industrial land uses are working.

LPFM stations were often shut down by the FCC or overrun by commercial and Christian radio, but after 20 years of activism, a Low Power FM Act was passed that allowed these community radio groups to apply for an FM license.

This became problematic for Savage when, at fifteen, having realized that he was gay, he wanted to explore Chicago's gay areas but was apprehensive since he was not yet prepared to come out to his Catholic family. Nevertheless, he made occasional trips to a North Side bar, Berlin, where he could be "outrageously out." Adding to his stress at the time was the ending of his parents' marriage. They divorced when he was seventeen. At eighteen Savage disclosed his sexual orientation to his family, who, he stated, "became, after one rocky summer, aggressively supportive." Despite his family's eventual acceptance of his homosexuality, Savage wanted to get away from Chicago; so he decided to attend the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana for college.

  • In the Superior Court of Washington for King County
    IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON FOR KING COUNTY NO. 20-2-10455-8 SEA IN RE THE MATTER OF RECALL CHARGES AGAINST CITY OF RESPONSE TO MOTION FOR SEATTLE MAYOR JENNY DURKAN RECONSIDERATION AND CROSS- (HARVEY) MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION I. INTRODUCTION Previously, this Court dismissed all but one of the recall charges against Jenny Durkan, the mayor of Seattle, and amended such charge to proceed more narrowly. Mayor Durkan filed a motion for reconsideration on July 14, notably filing the motion at 4:29 pm and setting this Court’s consideration for such motion for the very next day. This Court requested briefing from the petitioners, Elliott Harvey et al., who therefore submit this paperwork, both responding to Mayor Durkan’s motion, and filing a cross-motion for reconsideration, asking the Court to reconsider striking Charge C and to consider widening the scope of Charge B to encompass part of Charge E. II. RESPONSE TO STATEMENT OF FACTS Mayor Durkan begins with a lengthy “Statement of Facts,” exceeding five pages in a fourteen-page brief. Mayor Durkan therein argues a number of so-called facts that are misleading or untrue. The mayor’s “Statement of Facts” demonstrates very well the reason why Washington Courts are not to weigh the facts when ruling on a recall petition. As this Court noted in its order of July 10, 2020: [T]he role of courts in the recall process is highly limited, and it is not for us to decide whether the alleged facts are true or not. It is the voters, not the courts, who will ultimately act as the fact finders.
