BALLARD: GOLDEN GARDENS WALK – Jan 2018 BALLARD: GOLDEN GARDENS WALK – Jan 2018 Start from the Ballard Coffee Works, 2060 NW Market St. and proceed north on 22nd Ave. passing the Ballard Public Library – a “Green” building designed by Bohlin Cywinski. Turn left on 57th St and walk past the Ballard Commons Park on the right and the Lief Erikson Lodge on the left. Cross 24th Ave. and continue along 57th St. until it ends at 37th Pl. Turn right on 37th Pl and continue across 61st St and the railroad tracks before joining the Burke-Gilman Trail. Continue north on the Burke-Gilman Trail until reaching the Port of Seattle’s Shilshole Bay Marina and our Restroom Stop. The Shilshole Bay Marina houses 1400 boats. The name “Shilshole” derives from the Duamish Indian word meaning “threading a needle,” referring to the narrow creek that connected Lake Union to Salmon Bay, now connected by the Ship Canal and Ballard Locks. Rejoin the Burke-Gilman Trail and continue north to Golden Gardens Park. Golden Gardens Park was named and developed by Harry Treat, an early real estate developer. In 1907, Mr. Treat developed an amusement park at the end of a new electric trolley line being built by realtors to induce townfolk to take a Sunday outing to picnic or swim at the beach and be a captive audience for a pitch to buy real estate in the area. The trolley line ended at the top of the bluff near 32nd Ave and Loyal Way. Passengers then negotiated a steep, twisting path down to the park. Until 1913, there was a shipyard north of the park, while to the south, the beach curved along the railroad seaway to Salmon Bay. Follow the park path all the way north and cross the ponds to the beach. Note the trees damaged or destroyed by beavers. Return south along the park path and continue south along the Shilshole Bay Marina walkway to the Lief Erikson Statue. The Lief Erikson Statue was a gift from the Lief Erikson League for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. The statue was designed by professor August Werner of the University of Washington, and cast by Italian artisan Franco Vianello and Greek sculptor, Spero Anargyros. Following the Fair, the Port of Seattle accepted the statue for the Shilshole Marina, where it was unveiled on Norway Day. It is now the property of the Nordic Heritage Museum. In 2010, 900-plus new names of Scandinavian immigrants were added to the plaques on the rune stones at the base of the statue. Continue south along the Marina walkway to the Seaview Boatyard and join the sidewalk along Seaview Avenue. Walk out on the dock south of Ray’s Boathouse Restaurant for a nice view. Then continue south and rejoin the Burke-Gilman Trail. Stop at the small overlook for a view of the Great Northern RR drawbridge erected in 1913. A 500 ton concrete counterweight is used to lift the 200 foot span. Continue along the Burke-Gilman Trail and join Market St at the Ballard Locks. Continue east on Market to 22nd Ave and the Ballard Coffee Works. Distance: 5.6 miles Ballard: Golden Gardens Walk.

  • Foreword Chapter I'j Seattle and the Lake Washington Region
    HISTORY OF THE LAKE WASHINGTON CANAL Foreword with the inauguration of the great work of harbor im­ provement which, under the contract, is to begin March 1, a brighter era will dawn, not only for Seattle, but for the neighboring cities and for the whole Puget Sound country, for its good effects cannot but extend over a wider area than the immediate scene of operation. Its completion will provide our hilly city with an ideal area for man­ ufacturies, warehouses, and other enterprises which need a large space, adjacent to means of transportation by rail and water; it will open to ocean-going ships the Duwamish Waterways and the great fresh-water harbor of Lake Washington, and will conduct along the whole existing line of wharves a stream of fresh water which will check the ravages of the teredo; it will furnish abundant room for railroad terminals, so that all roads, present and future, can have all the facilities they require; it will put Seattle in the front rank among the great ports of the United States, and among manufac­ turing cities."* Chapter I' J Seattle and the Lake Washington Region The geographic situation of Puget Sound in relation to Lake Union, Lake Washington, and Lake Samamish suggested to the very earliest settlers the idea of a ship canal connecting these three bodies of water. Coal fields of considerable extent lie within two miles of the eastern shore of Lake Washington. The coal was for­ merly lightered to the Portage from the mines, carried across by tram cars to Lake Union.

  • Fishermen's Terminal
    Fishermen’s Terminal: Million-Dollar Industry By Sam L. Sutherland Preface Seattle’s Fishermen’s Terminal has occupied the northeastern edge of the Magnolia commu- nity for nearly 100 years. This facility serves as a homeport for hundreds of boats and a multi-million-dollar fishing industry, and its resources have been part of Magnolia’s history from early on. Discovering and researching the history, growth and present-day challenges affecting the fishing industry and the Terminal sent me on many paths. I began with the Terminal. I spoke with fishermen, skippers, suppliers, safety experts, government experts and regulators to learn about what goes on at the Terminal. Conversations with the fishermen occurred in the Bay Restaurant at Fishermen’s Center, or on their fishing boats. Family stories came easily from the men who talked about their grandfathers and fathers who fished and in turn taught them. These three generations represent 50 to 95 years of fishing in the Northwest. One of the most interesting men turned out to be deaf. He’d worked 40 years on family- owned fishing boats and on his own boat. I spent a lot of time walking on the docks and fingers (smaller docks projecting at 90 degrees) to look at and to photograph many of the boats. I pondered the differences in their configurations, sizes, rigging and visible gear. Opportunities occurred for visits with individ- uals who owned boats, worked on them or supported them. My photography was influenced by the physical size of the Terminal, its many buildings and their arrangement, as well as the daily activities of boats coming and going.
