    Comprehensive List of Seattle Parks Bonus Feature for Discovering Seattle Parks: a Local’S Guide by Linnea Westerlind

    COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF SEATTLE PARKS BONUS FEATURE FOR DISCOVERING SEATTLE PARKS: A LOCAL’S GUIDE BY LINNEA WESTERLIND Over the course of writing Discovering Seattle Parks, I visited every park in Seattle. While my guidebook describes the best 100 or so parks in the city (in bold below), this bonus feature lists all the parks in the city that are publicly owned, accessible, and worth a visit. Each park listing includes its address and top features. I skipped parks that are inaccessible (some of the city’s greenspaces have no paths or access points) and ones that are simply not worth a visit (just a square of grass in a median). This compilation also includes the best of the 149 waterfront street ends managed by the Seattle Department of Transportation that have been developed into mini parks. I did not include the more than 80 community P-Patches that are managed by the Department of Neighbor- hoods, although many are worth a visit to check out interesting garden art and peek at (but don’t touch) the garden beds bursting with veggies, herbs, and flowers. For more details, links to maps, and photos of all these parks, visit www.yearofseattleparks.com. Have fun exploring! DOWNTOWN SEATTLE & THE Kobe Terrace. 650 S.

  • Queen Anne Historic Context Statement

    Queen Anne Historic Context Statement

    QUEEN ANNE HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT Prepared by Florence K. Lentz and Mimi Sheridan For the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Historic Preservation Program and the Queen Anne Historical Society October 2005 The community of Queen Anne is one of Seattle’s oldest residential neighborhoods. Pioneer settler Thomas Mercer first called the forested, water-lapped district Eden Hill. By the mid-1880s, the growing suburb had acquired the name Queen Anne Town in reference to its showy domestic architecture. The character of this thoroughly urban neighborhood today is the result of several key influences, both physical and human. Natural features have both encouraged and restrained the development of Queen Anne over time. Waterways at the base of the hill virtually assured adjacent industrial growth from an early date. At the same time, steep topography limited the spread of large-scale commercial and industrial land uses on the hill itself. Instead, the hill became attractive as an early residential suburb because of its spectacular territorial and water views and its relative accessibility to the city. Queen Anne Hill was linked to Seattle by public transit in the late 1880s. Thereafter, streetcar lines fostered rapid platting, intensive residential construction, and the eventual emergence of multifamily housing – all within a brief forty-year period of time. The close-in location and unsurpassed views continue to stabilize the high value of real estate on the hill. Queen Anne’s character has been shaped as much by its human resources as by its physical features. The fact that progressive, well-educated families made the hill their home from the outset has left a lasting legacy.

    Aquavistaseattle Aquarium Makeover Will Offer Visitors a Pier

    AqUA VISTA Seattle Aquarium makeover will offer visitors a pier-side view of the deep blue sea BY HEIDI MILLS rom the rooftop of the Seattle Aquarium’s new Ocean Pavilion, visi- tors will look out toward Puget Sound F and the Olympics, back toward Pike Place Market and the city skyline, and down into a 350,000-gallon shark tank. That’s right. A shark tank. One that visitors to the waterfront can observe without ever entering the aquarium. Boosters believe the dramatic vistas and dar- ing design of the Ocean Pavilion will make the aquarium one of Seattle’s must-see attractions, along with the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, and brand Seattle as a global leader in marine conservation efforts. The building is slated to open in 2023 as part of the city’s ambitious new waterfront. With the Alaskan Way Viaduct’s demolition, the waterfront will be transformed into a 20-acre urban park, and the Ocean Pavilion will become the centerpiece, occupying the most prominent spot. “The Ocean Pavilion will be at the crossroads of the city,” says Bob Davidson, Seattle Aquarium president and chief executive officer. “It’s a gift, and it’s also a statement of the importance of Seattle’s relationship to the water and the ocean.” For locals underwhelmed by today’s cramped aquarium, and by a waterfront largely occupied by trinket shops and tourist traps, the upcoming overhaul will be stunning. The Ocean Pavilion and waterfront park will bring bold new archi- tecture, large outdoor gathering spaces and a connection to Puget Sound that hasn’t existed since the viaduct was constructed in the 1950s.
