Earthquake Hazards of the Pacific Northwest Coastal and Marine Regions Robert Kayen, Editor Seismic Stability of the Duwamish River Delta, Seattle, Washington By Robert E. Kayen and Walter A.

The study identified alternative governance structures that could help the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) achieve financial sustainability. This statewide effort was managed by Southeast Conference and guided by a 12- member steering committee of stakeholders from across Alaska. Project tasks included a high-level examination of six basic ferry governance models to assess their suitability for Alaska’s unique geography, markets, and transportation needs. More detailed case studies were conducted with three ferry systems to identify ideas and lessons applicable to AMHS: British Columbia Ferry System, Steamship Authority (Massachusetts), and CalMac Ferries (Scotland). The study also included review of relevant AMHS reports and interviews with key AMHS contacts including senior management and union representatives. The project incorporated extensive public involvement including convening a Statewide Marine Transportation Summit, solicitation of feedback through the project website, outreach to municipal governments and trade organizations throughout Alaska, and a presentation and discussion at Southeast Conference Annual Meeting.

  • Puget Sound) and Hyas Chuck (Lake Washington), the Hills Along This Part of the Bay Sloped Steeply Into the Waters
    HISTORY: PARK 11/6/76 When the Duwamish tribe inhabited the land between the Whulge (Puget Sound) and Hyas Chuck (Lake Washington), the hills along this part of the bay sloped steeply into the waters. The flat strip along the waterfront, from Yesler Way to Smith Cove is the result of fills. European explorers renamed many geographic features. In 1791 Captain Vancouver Puget Sound to honor Lt. Peter Puget of his crew. The Wilkes Expedition of 1841 honored a crew member; Edward Me any claims it was the chaplian. Rev. J. L. Elliott, but in 1954 Howard Hanson found that Midshipman Samuel Elliott was honored with the name for Elliott Bay. Lake Washington was in 1854 by Thomas Mercer, The Denny Party landed at Alki Beach in November of 1851 to establish a permanent settle- ment. They had scarcely finished construction of four cabins when a passing brig stopped, looking for a cargo of timber piles which the settlers eagerly provided. But it was obvious that water off shore was for a harbor. So they changed the site of the settle- ment to the shore of Elliott Bay. In 1853 Henry Yesler arrived and the commercial development of the waterfront with the construction of a sawmill. At first, skid roads, wagons and boats were able to supply the demands of the vessels from San Francisco and other ports of call, but when coal was discovered in the 1860's a faster means of overland transport was needed - the railroad. Tracks were laid from the growing town to the south end of Lake Union and by 1374 went to Renton and the mines of New Castle.

  • 02 Pike Place Market
    The Market as Organizer of an Urban CommunitY Pike Place Market, Seattle The Pike Place Market, which climbs a steep hillside not far.above the Seattle waterfront (fig. 2-1), is one of America's great urban places. Some people, hearing its name without ever having been there, might think the Pike Place Market won the Rudy Bruner Award for Excellence in the Urban Environment because it is a "festival marketplace." They would be wrong, and it is worth pointing out why. The places that developers call festival markets are shopping centers that offer food and goods in an entertaining urban setting. Festival markets have wonderful aromas, public performers, and lots of small shops. They typically have interesting views. And all these things can be found at Pike Place, which is certainly festive. But the differences between Pike Place and a festival market are profound. Unlike festival markets, the Pike Place Market is a place where people live as well as shop. Some of Pike Place's inhabitants are wealthy, but a gleater number are poor or of moderate income; they occupy new or rehabilitated apartments mainly because an effort was made to obtain government subsidies. The chain merchants that operate in festival mar- kets are not allowed at Pike Place; on the contrary, Pike Place strives to rely on independent enterprises whose owners are on the premises, making their concerns and their personalities felt. Although there are plenty of restaurants and take-out food stands at Pike Place, just as in a festival market, much of the food at Pike Place comes in a basic, less expensive form-raw, forhome consumption.

  • Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Final
    C-025-001 FHWA, WSDOT, and the City of Seattle appreciate receiving your comments. The project has evolved since comments were submitted in 2004, please refer to this Final EIS for information on the current alternatives. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would not have a tunnel operations building near Pike Place Market. The Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative does include a tunnel operations building that would be constructed on the block bounded by Pine Street, SR 99, and the Alaskan Way surface street. C-025-002 The Steinbrueck Park Lid is part of the Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative in this Final EIS. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative and the Cut- and-Cover Tunnel Alternative would have beneficial effects on the views from the Market and Victor Steinbrueck Park, as the aerial viaduct structure that currently intervenes in the views to the west, would no longer be part of the landscape. SR 99: Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project Final EIS - Appendix T 2010 Comments and Responses July 2011 C-025-003 There is no monitoring planned specifically for areaways in Pioneer Square or Pike Place Market since the areaways are some distance away from the bored tunnel. However, when individual building monitoring plans are developed some areaways may be included and monitored as needed. A number of Pike Place Market buildings on First Avenue and Pike Place would be routinely monitored for potential settlement. At least 5 of these buildings have areaways, which are believed to be in good condition. C-025-004 WSDOT briefed the Commission on the project in April 2011.

    PIKE PLACE MARKET PDA CONTACT Madison Bristol Pike Place Market 85 Pike Street, Room 500 Seattle, Wash. 98101 (206) 774-5259 [email protected] PikePlaceMarket.org OVERVIEW Pike Place Market is Seattle’s iconic public market, with more than 15 million visitors exploring the nine-acre historic district annually. Founded in August 1907, the Market operates one of the longest running farmers markets in the U.S. and continues to advocate for the preservation of regional farmland. The bustling year-round market is an urban village of more than 500 small independent businesses, including farmers, craftspeople, butchers, fish markets, shops, bakeries, restaurants and specialty food stores. There are more than 450 low-income residents who live in the Market, many in apartments above popular storefronts. Social services in the Market help support these residents, many of whom are seniors. PIKE PLACE MARKET CHARTER Pike Place Market is part of a nine-acre Market Historic District created in 1971 by the City of Seattle to protect and preserve the neighborhood’s character and buildings. In 1974, the City chartered the Pike Place Market Preservation PIKE PLACE MARKET Page 2 of 7 and Development Authority (PDA), a nonprofit public corporation, to preserve, rehabilitate and protect buildings within the Market, increase the opportunities for farm and food retailing, support small and marginal businesses, and provide services for low-income individuals.
