TRANSIT SYSTEMS and SERVICES in SEATTLE Author: Peter Lindsay Updated: May 20, 2015
TRANSIT SYSTEMS AND SERVICES IN SEATTLE Author: Peter Lindsay Updated: May 20, 2015 INTRODUCTION On a typical weekday about 40 percent of commuters ride a bus or take a train to work in downtown Seattle. While the City of Seattle does not directly operate transit systems, the City does own transit assets. The City of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan (page 3.9), states that “providing convenient and accessible transit service can help reduce reliance on single- occupant vehicles, slow the increase in environmental degradation associated with their use, and increase mobility without building new streets and highways.” On April 16, 2012, the City Council passed Resolution 31367, which adopted the Seattle Transit Master Plan (TMP). The TMP provides a 20-year look (through 2030) to the type of transit system that will be required to meet Seattle’s transit needs. It is an extensive update of the 2005 TMP, which identified key corridors linking urban villages and established performance standards for transit service. The 2012 TMP expanded that work and includes an evaluation of rail modes, rapid bus services, light rail station design, and capital infrastructure. The TMP addresses many critical issues, including: • Identification of the city’s most important transit corridors that carry high ridership today, as well as potential new ridership markets that will emerge as Seattle grows in jobs and new residents. • Selection of transit modes, such as bus rapid transit, light rail or streetcar that would work best on those corridors. • Integration of transit capital facilities and services with walking and biking infrastructure, as well as using transit to make great places. -
Stadium District Concept Plan December 2012
CREATE COMMUNITY THROUGH COMMON . GOALSSTADIUM DISTRICT CONCEPT PLAN DECEMBER 2012 Washington State Major League Baseball Stadium Public Facilities District Washington State Public Stadium Authority Dear Friends and Neighbors: As members of the two volunteer public boards created to manage and protect the public’s investment in Safeco Field and CenturyLink Field and Event Center, we are pleased to offer for your consideration this Stadium District Concept Plan. The plan represents our vision for what a Stadium District might become, over a ten-year period and beyond, to dramatically and positively impact its neighborhood. The plan was prepared in the context of breathtaking changes now underway for the central downtown waterfront, major new development in the North Lot at CenturyLink Field, and other opportunities in the historic neighborhoods of Pioneer Square, Chinatown/ International District, and SODO. The introduction of a possible new arena in the District adds to the significance of our effort. What we offer is not a finished plan or a fixed blueprint for the future. It is an initial concept that the Public Stadium Authority and Public Facilities District, along with the Seattle Mariners, Seahawks, and Sounders FC believe to be the essential elements of a successful stadium district—one that is economically successful, safe, desirable, innovative, inviting and irresistibly fun to live in and visit. This Stadium District Concept Plan states our core values and the guiding principles adopted by both boards after completing several workshops attended by members of the two boards and representatives of the three teams. Our work was facilitated, and the plan was drafted, by ZGF Architects LLP and AECOM. -

Earthquake Hazards of the Pacific Northwest Coastal and Marine Regions Robert Kayen, Editor Seismic Stability of the Duwamish River Delta, Seattle, Washington By Robert E. Kayen and Walter A. Barnhardt The delta front of the Duwamish River valley near Elliott Bay and Harbor Island is founded on young Holocene deposits shaped by sea-level rise, episodic volcanism, and seismicity. These river-mouth deposits are highly susceptible to seismic soil liquefac- tion and are potentially prone to submarine landsliding and disintegrative flow failure.

Seattle's Space Needle Debuts Dramatic 360-Degree “Spacelift”
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, August 2, 2018 CONTACT: Dave Mandapat, Public Relations [email protected] Desk: 206-905-2164 Cell: 206-605-8637 SEATTLE’S SPACE NEEDLE DEBUTS DRAMATIC 360-DEGREE “SPACELIFT” and WORLD’S FIRST REVOLVING GLASS FLOOR Wall, barriers – even floors – removed and replaced with structural glass reveal stunning, never-before-seen views SEATTLE, WA – Thursday, August 2, 2018 – The Space Needle, one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks, is unveiling a dramatically different visitor experience employing a modern twist on the ingenuity and innovation of the original 1962 World’s Fair build. Renovation of the 605-foot-tall structure features technology and products simply not available at the time of construction. Walls, barriers – even floors – have been removed and replaced with structural glass revealing a visceral experience the visionary designers of the Space Needle could only dream of. The new, multi-level tower features the world’s first, and only, revolving glass floor delivering wide-open views as guests float above Seattle. The completely reimagined Space Needle experience dramatically expands views of Mount Rainier, Elliott Bay, the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges and features several “firsts,” thanks to a $100 million private investment. The upper and lower levels are now unified by a cantilever grand staircase, the Oculus Stairs, creating a new destination that embodies the spirit of possibility Seattle is known for. With 196% more glass than before, including the use of ten different varieties, designers have created an immersive adventure opening up the awe- inspiring beauty of the Puget Sound region. “This reinvestment ensures the long-term viability of the Space Needle,” said Ron Sevart, CEO, Space Needle. -

The study identified alternative governance structures that could help the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) achieve financial sustainability. This statewide effort was managed by Southeast Conference and guided by a 12- member steering committee of stakeholders from across Alaska. Project tasks included a high-level examination of six basic ferry governance models to assess their suitability for Alaska’s unique geography, markets, and transportation needs. More detailed case studies were conducted with three ferry systems to identify ideas and lessons applicable to AMHS: British Columbia Ferry System, Steamship Authority (Massachusetts), and CalMac Ferries (Scotland). The study also included review of relevant AMHS reports and interviews with key AMHS contacts including senior management and union representatives. The project incorporated extensive public involvement including convening a Statewide Marine Transportation Summit, solicitation of feedback through the project website, outreach to municipal governments and trade organizations throughout Alaska, and a presentation and discussion at Southeast Conference Annual Meeting. -

Puget Sound) and Hyas Chuck (Lake Washington), the Hills Along This Part of the Bay Sloped Steeply Into the Waters
HISTORY: PARK 11/6/76 When the Duwamish tribe inhabited the land between the Whulge (Puget Sound) and Hyas Chuck (Lake Washington), the hills along this part of the bay sloped steeply into the waters. The flat strip along the waterfront, from Yesler Way to Smith Cove is the result of fills. European explorers renamed many geographic features. In 1791 Captain Vancouver Puget Sound to honor Lt. Peter Puget of his crew. The Wilkes Expedition of 1841 honored a crew member; Edward Me any claims it was the chaplian. Rev. J. L. Elliott, but in 1954 Howard Hanson found that Midshipman Samuel Elliott was honored with the name for Elliott Bay. Lake Washington was in 1854 by Thomas Mercer, The Denny Party landed at Alki Beach in November of 1851 to establish a permanent settle- ment. They had scarcely finished construction of four cabins when a passing brig stopped, looking for a cargo of timber piles which the settlers eagerly provided. But it was obvious that water off shore was for a harbor. So they changed the site of the settle- ment to the shore of Elliott Bay. In 1853 Henry Yesler arrived and the commercial development of the waterfront with the construction of a sawmill. At first, skid roads, wagons and boats were able to supply the demands of the vessels from San Francisco and other ports of call, but when coal was discovered in the 1860's a faster means of overland transport was needed - the railroad. Tracks were laid from the growing town to the south end of Lake Union and by 1374 went to Renton and the mines of New Castle. -
Oral History Interview with Edward B. Thomas, 1983 April 28-May 10
Oral history interview with Edward B. Thomas, 1983 April 28-May 10 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Edward B. Thomas on April 28 & May 10, 1983. The interview took place in Seattle, Washington, and was conducted by John Olbrantz for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DATE: APRIL 28, 1983 [Tape 1] JOHN OLBRANTZ: Ed, can you tell me a little bit about your background, where you were born, your early childhood experiences, your parents, who your father was, who your mother was, how they came to live in this part of the country? EDWARD THOMAS: Well, I was born in Cosmopolis, Washington, and many times when I've come through customs, when I was much younger and especially at the Mexican border, they would say, "Where were you born?" and I'd say, "Cosmopolis, Washington," they'd say, "Look, bud! Don't get funny with us." (laughter) But there actually is such a place as Cosmopolis, Washington. Nobody had any particular influence upon me, I would say, in my younger years as far as becoming interested in art, and particularly teaching art. I had a very severe illness when I was four and five years old and was confined to bed a lot, and so people brought me tablets and color crayons and pencils and stuff like that. -
French Impressionism and the Northwest
Contact: Hillary Ryan, 253.272.4258 ext 3051 [email protected] Tacoma Art Museum presents New Exhibition Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest IMAGES AVAILABLE August 2, 2019 (Tacoma, WA)— Opening on September 28, Tacoma Art Museum will present Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest, a new exhibition that examines how the work of French Impressionists and their immediate precursors made their way into Northwest public and private collections. It also will include selected paintings by American and Northwest artists to illustrate the spread of Impressionism across the country. “The purpose of this exhibition is deeply connected to the same passion that drove the French Impressionists, to transform the way we see,” said David F. Setford, TAM’s Executive Director and curator of this exhibition. “It does this in two ways. First, it puts rarely seen works from TAM’s European art collection into context and allows for an expanded visitor learning opportunity. In addition, it is also the first time that these Impressionist works from museums and private collections in the Northwest have been seen together. It will provide a lasting resource about French Impressionism and its historical impact for curators and collectors in our region and beyond.” Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Their Circle: French Impressionism and the Northwest was organized and curated by the Tacoma Art Museum, and includes approximately fifty (50) works of art. The exhibition is accompanied by a small publication including essays by Setford and TAM curator Margaret Bullock, as well as an online listing of French Impressionist works currently in Northwest public collections. -
