FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014 38Th ANNUAL THE BOEING COMPANY AND BROWN BEAR CAR WASH PRESENT 38th ANNUAL FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014 WELCOME TO WOODLAND Park Zoo’s 38th ANNUAL JUNGLE PARTY “CARNAVAL: RHYTHM OF THE RAIN Forest” FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014 WOODLAND PARK ZOO, NORTH MEADOW J. A. McGraw The funds generated this evening will support wildlife conservation initiatives, engaging education and zoo outreach programs, new animal exhibits and exemplary animal care. 1 Our Mission and Vision WOODLAND PARK ZOO SAVES ANIMALS AND THEIR HABITATS THROUGH CONSERVATION LEADERSHIP AND ENGAGING EXPERIENCES, INSPIRING PEOPLE TO LEARN, CARE AND ACT. For some animals, zoos may be their only chance for survival. For some children, zoos may be their only opportunity to see animals in natural settings. As our society becomes further separated from nature, zoos are poised to teach visitors about wildlife and, in turn, spark a commitment to help preserve animals in the wild and their natural habitats. Animals and plants live their lives as increasingly interdependent. Worldwide, over 1,400 plants and animal species are now designated as endangered and face the threat of extinction. Human population growth and habitat destruction have escalated the extinction rate to one or more species a day.* It is only through better public understanding of the fragility of our natural systems – and the impact of human beings upon them – that there is hope to shape attitudes, make emotional connections and change behaviors that can positively impact wildlife conservation. Please help us create a sustainable future for wildlife. It is your donation that will enable Woodland Park Zoo to maintain and even raise its level of excellence in exhibit design, education, wildlife conservation, animal care and horticulture. * Statistic from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2 From the Jungle Party Chairs Welcome to the year’s wildest party! Thanks for joining us at Woodland Park Zoo’s 38th annual Jungle Party as we and our corporate co-title sponsors, The Boeing Company and Brown Bear Car Wash, present: Carnaval: Rhythm of the Rain Forest. We know it’s going to be one unforgettable night as we celebrate the pudu – along with ALL its South American brethren – while we generously support a world-class institution that has been near and dear to us for well over a decade. This is why we’re excited to announce Care, Connect, Conserve as this year’s Fund-Our-Future focus. By raising your paddle high during the live auction, you can join us in creating future funds for both our Living Northwest conservation program as well as our presentation animal programming – geared toward creating awe-inspiring, up-close animal experiences for kids. Of course, this memorable night wouldn’t be possible if not for the personal commitment and enthusiasm of the 300+ volunteers, staff and executive committee members. We are in awe. Though, we’d also be remiss to not call out the zoo’s gifted leader, Dr. Deborah Jensen, President and CEO, as well as the zoo’s biggest cheerleader and Board Chair, Nancy Pellegrino. And we’d like to raise a glass to the perpetual passion and enthusiasm of this year’s Honorary Chairs, Dave and Chris Towne. Most of all, we’d like to thank YOU for your continued support in ensuring Woodland Park Zoo enriches and delights kids of all ages. We could go on and on...but the pudu would like its time in the spotlight. Have a fantastic evening! Jill and Scott Walker Chairs, 38th Annual Jungle Party 3 From the WPZ Board Chair Dear 2014 Jungle Party Guests, As Chair of the Woodland Park Zoo Board of Directors, it is my distinct honor to welcome you to our 38th annual Jungle Party – Carnaval: Rhythm of the Rain Forest. Each and every year we are overjoyed to see so many community leaders and friends come together to celebrate – and perpetuate – the roaring success of our beloved zoo. Along with over 1,100 animal ambassadors who call the zoo home, we all are excited and honored to be part of the zoo’s extraordinary mission. This year, we have been delighted to have Jill and Scott Walker serve as the 2014 Jungle Party Chairs. The commitment and generosity of Jungle Party Chairs is always incredible, and Jill and Scott are certainly no exception. Loyal Jungle Party attendees for the last 10 years, their dedication to this institution has been phenomenal, and it has been an absolute pleasure to collaborate with them to produce this iconic zoo event. I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to Dave and Chris Towne, 2014 Honorary Chairs. We cannot thank them enough for their years of service and unwavering dedication to the mission of our zoo: saving animals and their habitats through conservation leadership and engaging experiences, inspiring people to learn, care and act. I also wish to thank my fellow board members, whose deep commitment to our zoo is evident throughout the year and under this tent tonight. Their thoughtful leadership and stewardship of this world-class zoo is central to the impact of our mission every day. Tonight, I toast you for a job well done all year! Finally, I want to thank our many generous guests joining us tonight. Many of you return year after year, not just to enjoy a festive evening, but because you understand how the zoo connects people to wildlife, inspiring action here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and around the world. Because of YOU and your support on this special evening, our zoo is the wonderful and vibrant place that it is today! Have fun. Bid high and often. And know that your gift to Woodland Park Zoo is a gift that truly makes an impact for all animals here at the zoo and in the wild.

  • 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.

READ ON FOR INFORMATION ON: Know Before You Go How To Get Around Space Needle Pike Place Market Seattle From The Sea Seattle’s Waterfront Pioneer Square KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Seattle is a compact and immensely walkable city. Bring comfortable shoes! The culinary scene is varied. Most people think seafood, and that’s fine, but with its location on the Pacific Rim, use this opportunity to sample flavors not common in other parts of the country. Thai, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese cuisines are common and wonderful! It does rain here. However, it’s rarely all day and almost never hard enough to actually affect most plans. Many people find layers the most comfortable way to deal with our changing weather conditions. It doesn’t rain ALL the time. Summers, after about July 5th, are usually warm and mostly dry. Starbucks is on every corner. Don’t get sucked in. You can have Starbucks at home. Seattle is a coffee-crazed city and there are numerous small shops and roasters that will give you a memorable cup of coffee, so explore. Moore Coffee, Cherry Street, and Elm Coffee Roasters are all centrally located and wonderful, and just a small sample of the excellent coffee this town has to offer. Insider’s Tip: Many of the activities listed here are covered under Seattle’s CityPass program. Save money and time by purchasing in advance! HOW TO GET AROUND Seattle is super easy to navigate, and for ease and to save money, we don’t recommend a rental car for our downtown, belltown, and capitol hill homes.

    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release | March 20, 2020 Media contact: Gigi Allianic, Meghan Sawyer 206.548.2550 | [email protected] Meet Fitz – your new favorite feline! Young male jaguar finds new home at Woodland Park Zoo Woodland Park Zoo has a new resident hailing all the way from Texas! Fitz, a 2- year-old male jaguar, arrived recently from Houston Zoo. Fitz arrived in December, and spent his first month in Seattle under veterinary observation at the zoo’s Animal Health hospital, which is standard procedure for new animal arrivals. Once the veterinary team ensured Fitz was healthy and ready to move into his new home at Tropical Rain Forest, he was given plenty of private time away from the public eye to settle in and bond with his new animal keepers. The zoo’s temporary closure means there are less people around, and Fitz is making the most of that time by exploring his new digs. “Fitz is very gentle and attentive,” said Erin Sullivan, an animal care manager at Woodland Park Zoo. “From the start, he’s been good about coming up to us for training sessions, even as he was still learning the ropes of his new surroundings.” Fitz joins Nayla, a 13-year-old female in the Tropical Rain Forest – but they live separately and there aren’t any plans to introduce them to each other. Jaguars are solitary animals, choosing to hunt and live alone except for mating season and moms raising cubs. “Nayla had a litter of cubs in 2013, and there is no breeding recommendation in place by the Jaguar Species Survival plan,” explained animal curator Mark Myers.

  • A Narrative Exploration of Squid Jigging in Seattle Gavin Aubrey
    A Narrative Exploration of Squid Jigging in Seattle Gavin Aubrey Tiemeyer MES 2020 CATCHING INKFISH IN THE EMERALD CITY: A NARRATIVE EXPLORATION OF SQUID JIGGING IN SEATTLE By Gavin Aubrey Tiemeyer A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Environmental Studies The Evergreen State College June 2020 ©2019 by Gavin Aubrey Tiemeyer. All rights reserved. This Thesis for the Master of Environmental Studies Degree by Gavin Aubrey Tiemeyer has been approved for The Evergreen State College by _____________________ Kathleen Saul, Ph. D. Member of the Faculty _____________________ Date ABSTRACT Catching Inkfish in the Emerald City: A Narrative Exploration of Squid Jigging in Seattle Gavin Aubrey Tiemeyer Squid jigging is a popular fishing pastime that takes place during the fall and early winter at piers along the Central Waterfront of Seattle and the greater Puget Sound. Despite its popularity, there’s no academic research about who fishes for squid, or their reasons for doing so. The squid jigging community of Seattle has been documented extensively over the last twenty years, thanks in part, to the reporting of the Seattle Times. Preliminary analysis of tertiary sources suggests that squid jigging is important to participants for a combination of cultural and recreational reasons; providing an opportunity to spend time with friends and family, a connection to nature, and access to an inexpensive food source. Squid jigging is also deeply rooted in Seattle’s fishing culture and is influenced by places around the world, including Japan, Italy, and Southeast Asia, to name just a few. Meanwhile, Seattle’s Central Waterfront is undergoing a massive $728M redevelopment project with popular squid jigging destinations such as Waterfront Park (Pier 58), the Aquarium Pier (59), and Pier 62/63 undergoing extensive renovations.
