Saint Edward Seminary Preliminary Staff Finding on Commerce Study - Requested Action
Item E-X: Saint Edward Seminary Preliminary Staff Finding on Commerce Study - Requested Action EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This item asks the Commission to determine whether there is a viable public or nonprofit use of the Saint Edward Seminary based on criteria established in Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2667, passed by the 2016 Washington State Legislature. This item supports the Strategic Plan goal to develop amenities that advance transformation by leveraging partner-funded park development projects. INTRODUCTION: In spring 2016, legislation was signed by the Governor that required actions by the State Parks and Recreation Commission and the Department of Commerce regarding the Saint Edward Seminary. Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2667 (ESSHB2667) directed Commerce to conduct an economic viability study and directed the Commission to affirmatively make a determination based on that study and other Commission-criteria on the viability of a public or non-profit use of the Seminary property. As directed in the bill, State Parks staff consulted with Commerce and provided them with existing background data on the Seminary including various historic studies, cost estimates, and proposals that could be incorporated into the study. This agenda item provides State Park staff analysis and recommendations of the following: · Requirements of ESSHB2667 · Background information on the multi-decades search for preservation and re-use of the Saint Edward Seminary property · Interpretation of the Commerce study · Analysis of Public and Non-Profit Options in light of evaluation criteria in ESSHB2667 · Staff recommendations for a Commission finding pursuant to ESSHB2667 Requirements of Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2667 ESSHB2667, passed by the 2016 Session of the Washington State Legislature and codified as RCW79A.05.025(2), provides an opportunity for the Commission to enter into a lease of the Seminary grounds of up to 62 years. -
City of Kenmore Receives Help Preserving Saint Edward Seminary
City of Kenmore receives help preserving Saint Edward Seminary Aug 1, 2014 The city of Kenmore is working with Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and Daniels Real Estate to preserve, rehabilitate and activate the former Saint Edward Seminary building. — image credit: Sarah Kehoe, Bothell Reporter The city of Kenmore is working with Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and Daniels Real Estate to preserve, rehabilitate and activate the former Saint Edward Seminary building. The state parks commission discussed the project with city representatives at a July 23 work session in Bellingham. The iconic building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is located at Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore and has been largely vacant since 1976. “Saving the historic seminary building in a way that promotes sustainability and environmental values, while enhancing the local economy, is a huge opportunity for the city, and we are ready to be a helpful partner in this effort,” Kenmore Mayor David Baker said. “The team that has stepped forward is truly high caliber with strong community ties, as well as national prominence.” In response to the Washington State Parks Commission’s Resolution in 2013, which directed state parks staff to explore partnerships with other public and private sector entities to rehabilitate and preserve the building, the city of Kenmore is proposing to play an active role with state parks to ensure a long-term lease to rehabilitate and reuse the building. This could include the formation of a Public Development Authority. A similar agreement was formed in 2013 when the Washington State Parks Commission approved a lease with a Public Development Authority chartered by the city of Port Townsend for a portion of Fort Worden State Park in Jefferson County. -

Letters to State Parks Regarding the Seminary September 3, 2011 1
Letters to State Parks Regarding the Seminary September 3, 2011 Note: names, outside of public officials, have been removed for privacy. First things first: * I support extending the one-year extension for consideration of rehab proposals for the seminary at St. Edward State Park. * If a citizens advisory committee is formed, I volunteer to be a member…”qualifications” below. I attended the public meeting held in Kenmore on August 25. A decade ago, when McMenamins submitted their proposal, I attended those meetings in support of it. I learned soooo much about the seminary (the park staff gave tours at the time), both from a building perspective, i.e., internal storm water collection system, and the people’s stories that went with it. A brother-in-law even attended school/seminary there. Mostly, I heard a vocal unreasonable opposition to the plan. A lawyer/bicyclist who was part of that group (and who was citing RCWs at the recent meeting) was particularly aggressive. In fact, I made my way to Normandy Park one snowy day for a commission hearing and he was there; he had the audacity to say to me, “I can’t believe you are still coming to these meetings,” suggesting, I suppose, that my support for the McMenamins was a lost cause. I believe the citizens of Kenmore woke up and realized what a gem they lost (thanks, in part, to the McMenamins construction in nearby Bothell) and turned out in force on August 25th to support the most recent turn of events. I was thrilled! And Daniels Real Estate appears to be just the right developer to take on this project in the vacuum left by the McMenamin brothers. -
2019-21 Capital Budget Proposed Compromise 2020 Local and Community Projects (Dollars in Thousands)
Capital Budget Proposed Compromise Senate Floor Striking Amendment to SHB 1102 (S-4578.1/19) April 27, 2019 Senate Committee Services Office of Program Research Debt Limit Washington State has a constitutional debt limit. The State Treasurer may not issue any bonds that would cause the debt service (principal and interest payments) on any new and existing bonds to exceed this limit. Under a constitutional amendment approved by the voters in 2012, the state debt limit is currently 8.25 percent of the average of the prior six years’ general state revenues, defined as all unrestricted state tax revenues. This limit is reduced to 8 percent beginning on July 1, 2034. Bond Capacity A model administered by the State Treasurer’s Office is used to calculate the available bond capacity for the current budgeting period and for future biennial planning purposes. The model calculates the actual debt service on outstanding bonds and is used to estimate future debt service based on certain assumptions including revenue growth, interest rates, rate of repayment, rate of bond issuance, and other factors. For the 2019–21 biennium, projected bond capacity is $3.2 billion. This bond capacity incorporates the 2019 March Economic and Revenue forecast and estimated increases in general state revenue from legislative actions. In addition, there is capacity remaining from bonds previously authorized, including from the Streamflow Restoration program, from the 2018 Supplemental Capital Budget, and from adjusting funding in the 2019 Supplemental Capital Budget. Appropriations for 2019–21 and 2019 Supplemental Budget After the enacted 2018 Supplemental Capital Budget, there was $10.8 million in bond capacity remaining. -
New Hotel Breaks Ground in Kenmore's Saint Edward Park
New hotel breaks ground in Kenmore’s Saint Edward Park The old seminary building in the park will be preserved and turned into a lodge, opening in 2020. By Katie Metzger, December 12, 2018 To mark a milestone in its restoration and renovation of the seminary building at Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore, Daniels Real Estate LLC held a ceremonial groundbreaking near the site on Dec. 7. Washington State Parks and Recreation commissioners were in attendance, as well as local elected officials and project partners, from Bastyr University and the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation to the city of Kenmore and the Bothell Kenmore Chamber of Commerce. Ken Bounds, chair of the State Parks commission, and Kevin Daniels, president of Daniels Real Estate, acknowledged the many years of work and advocacy that led to the day’s celebration. Daniels had to work on many levels, from neighborhood meetings to hearings in Olympia, on his plan to turn the seminary building into a hotel and spa while maintaining its historic character. “It wasn’t a simple journey, and it wasn’t an easy task,” Daniels said. “You may not realize how tough this was from the beginning, because it’s a new idea to do something in the middle of a state park.” Bounds noted that the seminary building was “literally falling apart” and “being terribly underutilized,” and State Parks had to make a choice about what to do with it. The agency is responsible for more than 700 historic structures, but is operating with less general fund revenue than it used to. -

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. -
E Mass of Reception of the Most Reverend Paul D
e Mass of Reception of the Most Reverend Paul D. Etienne as Coadjutor Archbishop of Seattle The Most Reverend J. Peter Sartain Archbishop of Seattle Presider St. James Cathedral, Seattle 7 June 2019 2:00pm His Holiness Pope Francis e Most Reverend Christophe Pierre Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America e Most Reverend J. Peter Sartain Archbishop of Seattle The Most Reverend Paul D. Etienne Coadjutor Archbishop of Seattle Archbishop Etienne’s Motto comes from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians 4:15: “Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ.” As Church, we believe Christ is the ultimate expression of truth as well as the ultimate expression and experience of love. As one sent by Christ, I ask for his blessing as we begin this next chapter of faith together. When Christ sent his first disciples, he told them to take nothing with them for the journey. This was because he was to be their sole possession. May we rely only and always upon Christ. Archbishop Etienne's Coat of Arms: The exterior is the traditional “framing” of a bishop’s coat of arms. An archbishop’s arms have 10 tassels on each side to represent his office. The sword represents St. Paul, Archbishop Etienne’s patron, and the book represents the Sacred Scriptures and preaching. The M is for Archbishop Etienne’s devotion to the Blessed Mother. The Sun (star) symbolizes Christ, the Dawn from on High, as well as Archbishop Etienne’s general love of the outdoors. -
