  • 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.

  • Queen Anne Historic Context Statement
    QUEEN ANNE HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT Prepared by Florence K. Lentz and Mimi Sheridan For the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, Historic Preservation Program and the Queen Anne Historical Society October 2005 The community of Queen Anne is one of Seattle’s oldest residential neighborhoods. Pioneer settler Thomas Mercer first called the forested, water-lapped district Eden Hill. By the mid-1880s, the growing suburb had acquired the name Queen Anne Town in reference to its showy domestic architecture. The character of this thoroughly urban neighborhood today is the result of several key influences, both physical and human. Natural features have both encouraged and restrained the development of Queen Anne over time. Waterways at the base of the hill virtually assured adjacent industrial growth from an early date. At the same time, steep topography limited the spread of large-scale commercial and industrial land uses on the hill itself. Instead, the hill became attractive as an early residential suburb because of its spectacular territorial and water views and its relative accessibility to the city. Queen Anne Hill was linked to Seattle by public transit in the late 1880s. Thereafter, streetcar lines fostered rapid platting, intensive residential construction, and the eventual emergence of multifamily housing – all within a brief forty-year period of time. The close-in location and unsurpassed views continue to stabilize the high value of real estate on the hill. Queen Anne’s character has been shaped as much by its human resources as by its physical features. The fact that progressive, well-educated families made the hill their home from the outset has left a lasting legacy.

  • Queen Anne Loop
    Queen Anne Boulevard Park Queen Anne Boulevard comprises many different streets as it curves and zigzags around the top of Queen Anne Hill, offering views in every direction. Although sidewalks come and go along the tree-lined streets, the boulevard is used by many pedestrians and runners. History: "Enjoying success in their quest for thoroughfares, in 1906 the Queen Anne committee appeared before the Seattle Parks Board proposing the development of a scenic route at the top of the hill to be called Queen Anne Boulevard. "Constructed between 1911 and 1916, the boulevard was the only route by which commercial vehicles could reach certain sections of Queen Anne Hill. Queen Anne residents were happy with the boulevard for a time, but by the 1930s the complaints began pouring in and have not stopped since…." Excerpted from Queen Anne: Community on the Hill, published by Queen Anne Historical Society, 1993. Wilcox Wall. The wall takes its name from the architect who designed it (Walter R. B. Wilcox). It was built as part of the work to create a Queen Anne Boulevard that would encircle the top of Queen Anne Hill and serve as an urban parkway for city dwellers to come up and enjoy. While the Boulevard was never completed many parts of it are still in use as popular strolling/jogging routes. Parsons Memorial Gardens (1905), West of 618 W Highland Drive In 1956, the children of Reginald H. and Maude Parsons provided this 16,552 square foot garden to the city of Seattle in memory of their parents. The garden had been the eastern portion of the Parsons estate on W Highland Drive since 1905.

  • West Queen Anne Walk
    West Queen Anne Walk A Short History of Queen Anne Hill • Formed by the Vashon Glacier more than 13,500 years ago. • December, 1852 David & Louisa Boren Denny placed a claim on 320 acres in what is now lower Queen Anne • Just married, they built one-room log cabin on the bluff overlooking Elliott Bay, near Denny Way and Western. Louisa planted Sweetbrier roses outside the front door. The roses were found there growing wild in 1931. • Settlement was slow to develop. Thick forest and steep slopes discouraged settlers who wanted flat, open land for farms. • In 1872, David Denny subdivided 500 acres into building lots, but these were slow to sell. He even offered a two-for-one deal if the buyer immediately erected a house. • Hurricane of March 1875 helped settlement by knocking down thousands of trees, but took some houses and barns went as well. • George Kinnear (1839-1912) moved to Seattle in 1878 and transformed Eden Hill into a residential district. • In the 1880s, Seattle began to boom with new wealth from timber, coal, and real estate and in 1883, the Northern Pacific Railroad connected the city with the rest of the nation. • As houses were built up south side of the hill, they followed an architectural style known as Queen Anne, imported from England. The Rev. Daniel Bagley (1818-1905) asked people in jest, if they were going to "Queen Anne Town?" Name stuck and by 1885 Queen Anne appeared in real estate ads. • Beginning in 1902, electric street car lines reached to the top of the hill along Queen Anne Avenue.

  • Westlake Steps
    ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST for the Fishermen’s Terminal Gateway, West Wall, and Seattle Ship Supply Improvement Project Port of Seattle SEPA File # 17-07 prepared for Port of Seattle September 8, 2017 EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC Cultural Resource Consultants Transpo Group PREFACE The purpose of this Environmental Checklist is to identify and evaluate probable environmental impacts that could result from the Fishermen’s Terminal Gateway, West Wall, and Seattle Ship Supply Improvement Project and to identify measures to mitigate those impacts. “In 2015, the Port of Seattle initiated a planning process concerned with the upland assets of the Fishermen’s Terminal property. The objective was to determine how the uplands can best support the homeporting activity of the commercial fishing fleet. The evolving needs of the fleet were considered along with the aging structures on the uplands. A comprehensive stakeholder outreach program was part of the planning process. The Fishermen’s Terminal Gateway, West Wall, and Seattle Ship Supply Improvement Project would involve redevelopment of the Gateway site in up to 86,250 sq. ft. of marine sales and services, with accessory office and warehouse uses, the West Wall site in up to 48,200 sq. ft. of maritime flex-industrial and 33,000 sq. ft. of exterior open storage and the Seattle Ship Supply in up to 26,000 sq. ft. of workforce and maritime incubator uses. 1 The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires that all governmental agencies consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before the proposal is decided upon. This Environmental Checklist has been prepared in compliance with the SEPA Rules, effective April 4, 1984, as amended (Chapter 197-11), Washington Administrative Code; and Port of Seattle SEPA Resolution No.
