From rowboats to railroad and wagon roads to freeways, these transportation modes facilitated timber clearing, lumber milling and subsequent agricultural activities that were superseded by modem suburban residential development. Today, a diverse collection of extant historic properties tell the story of Redmond's history, growth and expansion. During the spring and summer of 2005, comprehensive field investigation was undertaken in order to fully identify and document extant historic resources located within the Redmond city limits. The project was conducted by the King County Historic Preservation Program under contract to the City of Redmond. It was funded in part by a grant from the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation. This project was also supported in part by the lodging tax fund administered by 4Culture, the Cultural Development Authority of King County. All properties constructed prior to 1940 were examined for potential inclusion in the City of Redmond Historic Resource • Inventory (HRI). The project did not include identification of pre-historic or historic archeological resources. Approximately 200 properties were examined, of which 144 properties were recorded on field forms. Of those properties, 79 were selected for inclusion in the HRI, including 29 properties previously identified and/or recorded in a limited 1998 survey and inventory · project. Additional survey and inventory work will be required to identify significant post-1940 historic resources. Historic properties in Redmond are associated with four of the five distinct periods of population growth and physical development: • Euro-American Settlement (1870-1888) • Railway and Logging Era (1889-1911) • City Incorporation/Roadway & Infrastructure Development (1912-1929) • Economic Depression & War (1930-1945) • Post-war Suburbanization & Annexation (1946-1980) The properties documented in this project were analyzed to develop the findings and recommendations included in this report. The HRI data is intended to be used for preservation planning purposes, public education, and as a basis for evaluating, prioritizing and nominating properties for potential local and/or regional landmark designation and listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Copies of the complete Historic Resource Inventory are located at the offices of the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP); the King County Office of Business Relations and Economic Development; the Redmond Planning and Community Department; and, the Redmond Historical Society.

Bibliography B. HRI Master List (by Site Number with Address) Master Map lll Historic Resources Survey & Inventory Redmond, WA PROJECT BACKGROUND The City of Redmond is located in northwest King County at the north end of Lake Sammamish in the Sammamish River valley. Redmond is distinguished by a significant .... ,,1 concentration of historic properties located within its historic commercial and residential '-l core near the old Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway and Redmond-Kirkland Road alignments. Since 1980, Redmond has experienced extraordinary population growth and development. Today, while the historic commercial core is partially sunounded by intact early residential plats, most of the surrounding former fam1lands are now zoned and developed for light industrial uses and auto-oriented residential and commercial development. Remnant agricultural activity and historic residential properties are scattered throughout the corporate city limits. Efforts to identify historic resources in Redmond began in 1978 when King County . conducted a countywide survey and inventory project. Four properties were identified [HRI#s 0103, 0287, 0523, 0525]. Three additional historic properties were subsequently identified [HRI#s 0721, 0780, 0842]. In 1998, the City of Redmond obtained a grant from the King County Landmarks and Heritage Commission and undertook a more · comprehensive survey and inventory effort. However, due to financial and time considerations, the number of historic properties that were surveyed was limited and the . field survey concentrated on selected geographic subareas. Thus, numerous properties within the remainder of the city were not identified or documented. Due to financial and time constraints only 22 additional properties were recorded on inventory forms as part of that effort. The criteria used to evaluate historic properties for inclusion in the HRI were not clearly defined and numerous eligible properties were not included in the Redmond Historic Resources Inventory (HRI). In 2000, the City adopted historic preservation planning policies, per Ordinance No. 2080, and identified 16 key historic properties as City of Redmond landmarks. In 2003, the City adopted Ordinance 2164 [RCDG Chapter20], which implemented regulations establishing a local Landmark Commission, a nomination and designation process for listing in the Redmond Heritage Resource Register (as a City of Redmond Landmark) preservation incentives, and adopted design guidelines for a downtown subarea. Furthermore, City of Redmond Ordinance 2164 included regulations allowing that an historic property listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Washington Heritage Register and/or designated as a Regional (King County) Landmark shall be deemed a City of Redmond Landmark. Ordinance 2164 also established a Regional Landmarks Commission (King County Landmarks Commission) and adopted the nomination and designation provisions of King County Code 20.62 in order for property owners to qualify for a variety of historic preservation incentive programs not available per the local designation status, listing in the Redmond Heritage Resource Register. In 2004, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with King County to provide historic preservation services, including designation and protection services, design review according to KCC 20.62 and/or other services related to the identification and preservation of historic resources. 1 Historic Resources Survey & Inventory Redmond, WA A comprehensive citywide update of the Redmond HRl was undertaken during the spring and summer of 2005. The King County Historic Preservation Program, under contract with the City of Redmond, conducted the project. Survey Area The survey area included all land area within the current City of Redmond corporate limits, covering approximately 9,991 acres. In addition, the survey included City-owned properties adjacent to but outside the current city limits, and one adjacent planning area under consideration for annexation. The survey area did not include the City of Redmond Watershed Park, an 800-acre undeveloped forestland. Initial field examination focused on properties located within specific subareas that were not examined during the 1998 survey and inventory project. (See Survey Area Map). All previously inventoried properties were reexamined

  • Taking Back Our Boulevard Tukwila Police Department Tukwila, Washington
    Taking Back our Boulevard Tukwila Police Department Tukwila, Washington Summary The City of Tukwila is centrally located in the heart of the Puget Sound Region of Washington State - a large, bustling, and prosperous metropolitan region. Although relatively small in geographical size (about 10 square miles) Tukwila’s unique location puts it at a crossroads of activity. The city has a small residential population, but large employment and commercial entities bring an influx of people into the city every day. Crime is a major problem for Tukwila. While the presence of a large commercial district and a high daytime population do inflate the crime statistics somewhat, these factors alone do not account for the disproportionately high crime rate. An analysis of all police case reports showed an elevated number of incidents occurred along a 1.5 mile section of Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB), a major thoroughfare near SeaTac Airport, and in the Central Business District (CBD), the primary location in the city for commercial activity. Looking specifically at violent criminal offenses, the TIB corridor had the highest concentration of activity. Page 1 of 25 Situated along TIB are nine motels. Several of these motels were suspected of being safe havens for persons engaged in prostitution, drug dealing, and the violent crimes associated with those activities. An examination of police case reports taken along the TIB corridor from 2008-2012 showed particular motels accounting for three of the top five problem locations. Interestingly, all three of these motel properties were adjacent to each other in a one-block area of TIB. In June of 2012, a detective from the Tukwila Police Department’s Anti-Crime Team (TAC) was assigned to a temporary task force created by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).
