THE OFFERING ORION Commercial Partners is pleased to offer for sale two properties at 3246 NE 85th St. and 8515 35th Ave NE, Seattle, WA. The properties may be purchased individually or collectively, and both offer the opportunity to retain current tenants long-term or vacate them to coincide with City of Seattle development entitlement timelines if the buyer wishes to develop the property and enjoy the interim income. The parcels are under two different ownerships who have a long- standing and solid relationship, and who subsequently are choosing to sell their properties in an assemblage, and are also open to selling the properties separately. The combined parcels have been studied for vertical development. Our findings are that the INVESTMENT site can accommodate 32 traditional apartment units and approximately 1,400 SF of retail space in either an L-shaped or 2-tower configuration (See Johnston Architects massing plans on pages 17-20) yielding +/-41,500 SF of floor area. This gives the buyer or any future buyer the opportunity to build sizable high-value housing in one of the most stable and vaunted SUMMARY neighborhoods within the thriving Seattle technology-based economies, with access to top-paying IT, R&D, biotech, and other growing industries that are amassing highly credentialed employees due to Seattle’s livability and affordability, relative to other top technology-driven markets. 3246 NE 85TH ST & 8515 35TH AVE NE, Addresses SEATTLE, WA 98115 WEDGWOOD APARTMENTS: 3246 NE 85TH ST. - $1,885,600 Offering Price For sale WEDGWOOD ALEHOUSE: individually or as 8515 35TH AVE NE - $2,159,400 an assemblage.

This property features four well-maintained units, with an average unit size of 700 SF on an approximately 5,097 SF lot.

Current rents total approximately $81,600/annum gross with project expenses for T-12 at $18,175. As sold separately, this property would be prime for updates and capturing market rents to boost NOI.

The current rent is $4,000/month gross escalating to $4,500/month on Jan. 1st, 2023. These rents are dramatically underneath market rents.

  • Matthews Beach Restoration Project Proposal
    Matthews Beach Restoration Project Proposal Compiled by Rebecca Deehr, Derek Beauchemin, Liz Thorsenson, J. Katie Barndt, Jennifer Habetler, Doug Schmitt, Nathan Sakes, Lena Jones, and Suzy Karl EHUF 480, Landscape Plant Selection and Management University of Washington Autumn 2001 Page 1 INTRODUCTION A successful restoration project requires balancing the needs of the group responsible for the restoration with those of the general public. At the Matthews Beach restoration site, the public is composed of several different groups including homeowners in the surrounding area and other visitors who may come from farther away to access the park. To address the concerns of all parties, we determined the following goals: · Provide or improve wildlife habitat and use native plants per the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation’s Urban Wildlife and Habitat Management Plan · Preserve the basic functionality of the restoration site (i.e., keep the overall design, with its previous goals intact) · Increase the functionality of the stream as a salmon nursery · Provide access to the waterfront for the public · Take the restoration project to “the next level” by dealing with problems that have arisen, and providing a long-term maintenance plan · Provide education about restoration, native plants, fish & wildlife habitat and ecosystem health · Preserve views where possible To achieve these goals we concentrated on six areas. Our focus for this project has been primarily on the areas west of the small creek and main pond. The remainder of the site has more mature vegetation, and the only recommendation we are making at this time is the removal of invasive plants.

  • 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.

Languages English Historical Note The Department of Parks and Recreation maintains the City's parks, shorelines, and boulevards; and administers community centers, public golf courses, and other athletic and cultural facilities. Seattle's first park was established in 1884 after David Denny donated land to the City for that purpose. At that time, a three-member park committee, with limited authority, was created to manage the nascent park system. A Board of Parks Commissioners was established in 1890 with control over all public parks and authority to appoint a Parks Superintendent. In 1896, the City Charter created the position of Superintendent of Streets, Sewers and Parks. The Parks Department became a separate entity in 1904. In 1926, a City Charter amendment abolished the position of Superintendent, distributing its responsibilities between the Head Gardener and the Landscape Architect. A 1948 City Charter amendment required the Board of Park Commissioners to appoint a park superintendent to administer the department. In 1967, another City Charter Amendment reconstituted the Board as an advisory body to the Mayor and City Council, changed the agency name to Department of Parks and Recreation, and placed fiscal and operational administration under the superintendent.
