Article describes the scene "in the very heart of the city . These up-to-date stables contain ample accommodations for 250 horses, with every safeguard and comfort in the way of ventilation, cleanliness etc. that modern sanitary science can provide . An elaborate sprinkler system of the most approved and efficient type . is practically an absolute guarantee against serious damage by fire. The management solicits an inspection at any time." Development Western Mill, early 1890s, at the south end of Lake Union and the principal employer for the greater Cascade neighborhood Development accelerated after David Denny built the Western Mill in 1882, near the site of today’s Naval Reserve Center, and cut a barrier at Montlake to float logs between the lakes.

INTRODUCTION Many important and long planned transportation and development projects are scheduled for con- struction in Downtown Seattle in the coming years. While these investments are essential to support economic development and job growth and to enhance Downtown’s stature as the region’s premier location to live, work, shop and play, in the short-term they present complicated challenges for con- venient and reliable access to and through Downtown. The Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) and its partners, Historic South Downtown (HSD) and the Seat- tle Department of Transportation (SDOT), seek to ensure that Downtown Seattle survives and prospers during the extraordinarily high level of construction activity that will occur in the coming years.

In our new lobby you’ll find The Bistro, where you can grab breakfast and dinner daily. We also serve your favorite Starbucks® beverages all day, and a full bar in the evening. It’s a great place to connect…or to disconnect. We have four meeting rooms totaling 4,000 square feet of function space, so you can really get down to business. Our largest room, Regatta View, features tons of natural light, views of Lake Union, and can accommodate up to 90 guests. Meet up. Kick back. Dig in. Whatever your speed, our updates will make sure that what you need, is right where you need it.
