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. Homes soon began to appear on the Lake Union’s south shore, ranging from the ornate Queen Anne-style mansion built by Margaret Pontius in 1889 (which served as the “Mother Ryther Home” for orphans from 1905 to 1920) to humble worker's cottages. The latter housed a growing number of immigrants from Scandinavia, Greece, Russia, and America’s own teeming East, attracted by jobs in Seattle’s burgeoning mills and on its bustling docks. Beginning in 1894, their children attended Cascade School -- which finally gave the neighborhood a name -- and families worshipped on Sundays at St.

HOW FREEWAYS, HIGHWAYS AND STRUCTURES ARE NAMED Each route in the State Highway System is given a unique number for identification and signed with distinctive numbered Interstate, United States, or California State route shields to guide public travel. The State Legislature designates all State highway routes and assigns route numbers, while the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has authority over the numbering of Interstate and United States routes. In addition to having a route number, a route may also have a name and, in some cases, multiple names.

Abstract The old “one-size-fits-all” approach to transportation divided communities and left them with gaps in existing transportation and infrastructure. Newer, context-sensitive solutions, like right-sizing, are an innovative approach to addressing this aging infrastructure. Instead of policies seeking only to appropriately match land use and transportation contexts on existing streets, right-sizing projects provide the opportunity to develop community- oriented transportation policies that promote safety, community well-being, and help the community achieve broader economic development goals.

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.

    Transportation Chronology by Kit Oldham, updated 2004/p.1 Updated by Kit, 2004 WASHINGTON TRANSPORTATION CHRONOLOGY 1835. The Hudson's Bay Company ship Beaver is the first steamship to travel on Puget Sound. HL #1946 October-November, 1845 . The Michael Simmons-George Bush party cuts a makeshift road from Cowlitz Landing (now Toledo) on the Cowlitz River to Budd Inlet on Puget Sound, where they establish Tumwater, the first American settlement north of the Columbia River. Dorpat, 63; HL # 5646; Meeker, 158. 1851 . A crude wooden track portage line along the north bank of the Columbia river at the Cascades in the Columbia Gorge is the first railway constructed in the future Washington. Schwantes, Railroad , 15. 1852 . The first road established by law in the future Washington state is Byrd's Mill Road between Puyallup, Tacoma, and Steilacoom, established by the Oregon Territorial Legislature. Garrett, 3. 1853 . First overland passenger service from Olympia to the Columbia River begins; passengers are initially carried on freight wagons known as mudwagons (given the poor conditions on the route which do not improve much even when a military road is completed in 1861), with stage coaches coming into use as passengers numbers increase. (Except for the Columbia-Puget Sound connection, stagecoaches are little used in Western Washington, as the waters of Puget Sound provide the crucial transportation links). Dorpat, 66-67; Schwantes, Journey , 88-89. 1853. The steamer Fairy is the first steamer to provide regular service among Puget Sound ports. HL #869 January 7, 1853. Congress appropriates $20,000 for a military road from Fort Steilacoom to Fort Walla Walla by way of Naches Pass, a route that Indians used for generations to travel between Puget Sound and the Yakima Valley.
