In addition the Central Area‟s development was not part of a unified real state scheme with coordinated public improvements (such as the Mount Baker community). For these reasons, it has never had official boundaries and various writers describe its extent in various ways. Almost all attempts to describe the neighborhood include a core area bounded by Madison Street on the north, Jackson Street on the south, 15th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Way (formerly Empire Way) on the east. In 1975, Nyberg and Steinbrueck identified the eastern boundary of the Central Area as 30th Avenue (more or less), and also included extensions to the north and south of the core area. The extension to the south of Jackson Street was bounded by 30th Avenue (approximately) on the east, Interstate 90 on the south, and the mid-block alley just east of Rainier Avenue South on the west. The extension to the north of Madison Street was bounded on the west by 23rd Avenue, on the east by the Washington Park Arboretum, and extended north to a line just north of East Helen Street marking the boundary between the plats known as the Madison Park Addition and the Hazelwood Addition Supplemental.1 Walt Crowley describes the neighborhood as a “sprawling residential district .

The Northgate south lot revitalization project fills eight acres with more than 500 units of housing and three acres of open space.” Context Built in 1950, Northgate Mall has anchored the area’s retail development ever since. Since 2001, the mall has been expanded and now provides a more pedestrian friendly experience in addition to strengthening its regional appeal through big-name tenants. Anchors to the mall include Nordstrom, Gene Juarez, Barnes and Noble, and Target. The mall also greatly increased the amount of dining available at the site. The City of Seattle has built a library branch across 5th Avenue from the mall and upgraded street crossings at traffic intersections.

  • Historic Property Survey Report: Seattle's Neighborhood Commercial
    HISTORIC PROPERTY SURVEY REPORT: SEATTLE’S NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS Prepared by: Mimi Sheridan Cultural Resource Specialist Prepared for: City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Historic Preservation Program 700 Third Avenue, Seattle WA 98104 November 2002 PROJECT SUMMARY In 2000 the City of Seattle began a multi-year effort to update its inventory of historic resources throughout the city. Existing information, primarily from the 1970s, was out of date and inadequate to meet the challenges of growth management and the threats to the city’s traditional character posed by increasing demand for housing and commercial space. Two building categories and one neighborhood were selected for the initial round of surveys: neighborhood commercial districts, buildings constructed before 1905, and the University District. This report focuses on the methodology and findings of the survey and inventory of Seattle’s neighborhood commercial districts. The project began in the spring of 2001, with development of a work plan, which identified the survey criteria and boundaries. A context statement was then prepared, giving an overview of commercial development patterns throughout the city. Following this, a reconnaissance survey was done, looking at every building in the identified commercial districts. This survey recorded more than 1000 buildings that met the basic criteria of age (built prior to 1962) and architectural integrity. Two hundred of these structures were identified for further research and inclusion in the final inventory. Development patterns and physical characteristics of each neighborhood and of these 200 buildings are summarized here. In addition to this report, the Neighborhood Commercial District inventory includes 200 Historic Property Inventory forms in an electronic database format that will be available to the general public as well as to other city departments.

  • Context Statement
    CONTEXT STATEMENT THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT PREPARED FOR: THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM DEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS, CITY OF SEATTLE November 2006 THOMAS STREET HISTORY SERVICES 705 EAST THOMAS STREET, #204 SEATTLE, WA 98102 2 Central Waterfront and Environs - Historic Survey & Inventory - Context Statement - November 2006 –Update 1/2/07 THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT CONTEXT STATEMENT for THE 2006 SURVEY AND INVENTORY Central Waterfront Neighborhood Boundaries and Definitions For this study, the Central Waterfront neighborhood covers the waterfront from Battery Street to Columbia Street, and in the east-west direction, from the waterfront to the west side of First Avenue. In addition, it covers a northern area from Battery Street to Broad Street, and in the east- west direction, from Elliott Bay to the west side of Elliott Avenue. In contrast, in many studies, the Central Waterfront refers only to the actual waterfront, usually from around Clay Street to roughly Pier 48 and only extends to the east side of Alaskan Way. This study therefore includes the western edge of Belltown and the corresponding western edge of Downtown. Since it is already an historic district, the Pike Place Market Historic District was not specifically surveyed. Although Alaskan Way and the present shoreline were only built up beginning in the 1890s, the waterfront’s earliest inhabitants, the Native Americans, have long been familiar with this area, the original shoreline and its vicinity. Native Peoples There had been Duwamish encampments along or near Elliott Bay, long before the arrival of the Pioneers in the early 1850s. In fact, the name “Duwamish” is derived from that people’s original name for themselves, “duwAHBSH,” which means “inside people,” and referred to the protected location of their settlements inside the waters of Elliott Bay.1 The cultural traditions of the Duwamish and other coastal Salish tribes were based on reverence for the natural elements and on the change of seasons.
