Parks and Recreation Facilities in the Plan Area APPENDIX G Parks and Recreation Facilities in the Plan Area November 2014 Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement This appendix lists and illustrates the parks and recreation facilities in the Plan area based on available geographic information systems (GIS) data. GIS data sources were as follows: • Snohomish County • King County • Pierce County • City of Everett • City of Mountlake Terrace • City of Redmond • City of Lake Forest Park This information was not verified in the field and parks and recreation facility representatives were not contacted to determine ownership or the recreational uses associated with these resources. Over 1,300 parks and recreation facilities were listed in the available GIS database including a wide variety of open space areas, sports fields, trails, and water- oriented facilities. The park or recreation facility ID numbers in Table G-1 correspond to those ID numbers in Figure G-1 and Figure G-2. The fact that a facility is listed in this appendix is not intended to suggest that the facility is subject to Section 4(f) protection. Section 4(f) does not apply to every park or recreation facility so this list is deliberately more extensive than would be a list of resources covered by that statute (which also covers properties other than parks and recreation facilities that are not listed here). The determination of whether a resource is entitled to protection under Section 4(f) involves a number of factors including, but not limited to, the facility’s background and purpose, its significance, and whether it has been reserved for a future transportation facility.

  • 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.

  • Carkeek Park

LAN Front cover photos taken in subunits: 4 B 1 C 1 B 3 A 1 C 3 CARKEEK PARK FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN Created by Peter Noonan, March – December 2002 Updated by Lex Voorhoeve, December 2005 – November 2007 Prepared for: • Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation • Carkeek Park Advisory Council Funding sources: Carkeek Park Advisory Council Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation, Urban Forestry Unit Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Matching Fund NOTE Like any forest management plan, this is a dated document, now describing the situation by the end of 2007. Over the next ten years big changes are expected in the Carkeek forest, particularly due to the over-mature Alder/Maple forest declining. Updating this document in response to those changes will likely need to occur every five years. RECOMMENDATION The non-forested units in Carkeek Park include unique wetland and riparian habitat, valuable to salmon and other wildlife. A management plan to address those units would make an excellent companion to this document.

  • The Artists' View of Seattle
    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.

Murray, Mayor Finance and Administrative Services Fred Podesta, Director July 25, 2016 The Honorable Tim Burgess Seattle City Hall 501 5th Ave. Seattle, WA 98124 Councilmember Burgess, Attached is an annual report of all real property under City ownership. The annual review supports strategic management of the City’s real estate holdings. Because City needs change over time, the annual review helps create opportunities to find the best municipal use of each property or put it back into the private sector to avoid holding properties without an adopted municipal purpose. Each January, FAS initiates the annual review process. City departments with jurisdiction over real property assure that all recent acquisitions and/or dispositions are accurately represented, and provide current information about each property’s current use, and future use, if identified. Each property is classified based on its level of utilization -- from Fully Utilized Municipal Use to Surplus. In addition, in 2015 and 2016, in conjunction with CBO, OPI, and OH, FAS has been reviewing properties with the HALA recommendation on using surplus property for housing. The attached list has a new column that groups excess, surplus, underutilized and interim use properties into categories to help differentiate the potential for various sites. Below is a matrix which explains the categorization: Category Description Difficult building site Small, steep and/or irregular parcels with limited development opportunity Future Use Identified use in the future

  • Local Places to Visit Around Seattle
    Eastside Literacy Talk Time Spring 2006 Talk Time Topic: Local Places to Visit around Seattle Let’s get started… Take a few minutes to think of a local place that you visited. • Where did you go, and what did you do? • Who went with you? (friends, family, etc.) • How much did it cost? • Would you recommend this place to others? Why or why not? Background: Many people go to coffee shops (Starbucks is a favorite destination) or shopping when they have cabin fever. At other times, they want a longer trip or a change of scenery so they take a day trip. Families, couples, and people of all ages enjoy seeing or doing something new. The Seattle area offers many different types of things to do and see close to home. It is possible to take a ferry, drive to the mountains, and visit the Pike Place Market all in the same day! Spend 5 minutes asking each other the following questions. Interview 2-3 people about any local trips that they have taken. Work with your Talk Time leader to complete the grid below. Share your results with the group. Name Where did you go? What did you see? Would you go again? Discussion Questions: What places would you like to visit? How can you find out more about the cost, the transportation and any other questions you might have? What activities do you enjoy doing? Do you prefer indoor or outdoor activities? What did you do in your country? Did you take local trips? Where did you go? Did you take trips in Winter? Spring? Summer? Fall? Why? Some outings are “kid friendly” and others are not.
