  • Seattle Trademark History Tour
    HISTO RK RY A TO M U E R D A O F R T Visit Foley Hoag’s Trademark & Copyright Law blog at trademarkandcopyrightlawblog.com foleyhoag.com SEATTLE TRADEMARK HISTORY TOUR This year, the great city of Seattle, Washington is the location of both the International Trademark Association Annual Meeting (May 19-23) and the American Intellectual Property Law Association Spring Meeting (May 15-17). If you are one of the many lawyers attending these events and you want a Seattle trademark experience, you could do the obvious and visit locations associated with the city’s famous modern brands. Alternatively, you could go back in time a bit further. Washington became the 42nd state in 1889, the same year the Great Seattle Fire destroyed much of the city. A combination of new railroad lines and post-fire construction led to a boom in population and commercial activity. On July 17, 1897, this already-promising economic climate went into hyper-drive when the S.S. Portland arrived from Alaska, heralding the beginning of the Klondike gold rush. The trademark disputes that arose from this economic activity started working their way into the published opinions of the Ninth Circuit and the newly christened Washington Supreme Court in the first decades of the twentieth century. We took a look at the first ten trademark disputes involving the city of Seattle (which date from the turn of the century up to the start of World War I). To our delight, we found them riddled with connections to celebrities, shootouts, world politics and the multicultural fabric of migration in the American west.

The subject site is rectangular in shape and contains a 9’ grade change from east to west. Approximately 23% of the site is covered by tree canopy. Surrounding Development and Neighborhood Character: The site is located on the north corner at the intersection of Stewart St and 8th Ave in the Downtown Urban Center and Denny Triangle neighborhood. The vicinity includes commercial, residential, hospitality, and institutional uses which bridge the retail core to the rapidly developing South Lake Union. Structures are primarily highrise. The neighborhood is characterized by flat glassy facades, grid window patterns, established street trees, and boxy forms. The ground level is distinguished by one-story podiums with strong datum lines and consistent overhead weather protection. *On April 27, 2020, the Seattle City Council passed emergency legislation Council Bill 119769 which allows projects subject to full design review to opt into Administrative Design Review temporarily.

  • Narrative Statement of Significance the Pioneer Square-Skid Road
    Narrative Statement of Significance The Pioneer Square-Skid Road National Historic District Introduction The City of Seattle Pioneer Square Preservation District was created in 1970, although the original nomination was presented to the Seattle City Council in 1969 and rejected. The district, with slightly different boundaries, was also listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Since then, there have been two subsequent boundary expansions, one in 1978 and one in 1988. All of the buildings in the district date from after the Great Fire of June 6, 1889, which reduced roughly 30 blocks or more of the original City of Seattle to ashes. Buildings within the district date from four successive periods of significance. The first period of significance spans from right after the Great Fire of June 6, 1889 to 1899, during which Seattle’s commercial district, known as the “burnt district,” was rebuilt. The second period, a time of explosive growth, spans from 1900 to 1910. In the original nominations, the third period spanned from 1911 to 1916 and a final pre-World War I surge of construction. For this update, the third period has been extended to encompass buildings associated with the war effort during World War I and/ or completed between 1911 and 1927. A fourth period, from 1928 to 1931, is associated with the Second Avenue Extension, a public works project which continued to have far-reaching consequences on the open spaces and architecture in the district until 1931. It created not only the Second Avenue Extension and modified buildings in its path, but it also caused important changes in the streetscape along 4th Avenue South, between Yesler Way and King Street.
