At a moment $2 (Child) when the world seems more polarized than ever, these objects and images will make us all uncomfortable, but that is not a reason to look away. Throughout its history Renton has grappled with finding ways for a very ethnically and racially diverse community to move forward together. Your hometown museum has a role to play in that: opening conversations about sometimes controversial issues, serving as a space for dialogue and discussion, and providing facts that inform those discussions. We hope you’ll take advantage of this chance to think How does the back change your about race, ethnicity, and how we treat people who are different mind about the front? Or does it? from us. And we hope you’ll share with us your thoughts about this exhibit and the programs that surround it—in person, in an email, in a Facebook or Twitter post, or on the phone. We are committed to continuing these healthy conversations, because we believe the Renton History Museum is, and will continue to be in the future, an important community institution.

  • Early Scoping Summary Report
    Early Scoping Summary Report April 2018 West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions Summary Purpose Sound Transit conducted early scoping for the West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions (WSBLE) Project in Seattle, Washington, from February 2 through March 5, 2018. The early scoping started the public planning and environmental processes for the project. This report describes how Sound Transit conducted early scoping and summarizes the comments received from local and regulatory agencies, tribes, and the public during the early scoping period. This information will be considered by Sound Transit as it identifies and studies alternatives for the WSBLE Project. The Early Scoping Process Sound Transit published an early scoping notice in the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) register on February 2, 2018, which initiated early scoping and started the 30-day comment period. Additional public notification was provided with mailed postcards, print and online advertisements, and social media notices. Three public open houses and an agency meeting were held during this comment period, as well as an online open house from February 12 to March 5, 2018. Sound Transit requested comments on the purpose and need, the Representative Project, other potential alternatives, and potential community benefits and impacts.

  • Evaluation of Current Facility and Programs
    EVALUATION OF CURRENT FACILITY AND PROGRAMS The evaluation of current facilities and programs include a general overview of public facilities on the Eastside and the specific evaluation of the existing Bellevue Aquatic Center at Odle Middle School. THE BELLEVUE AQUATIC CENTER AT ODLE MIDDLE SCHOOL The 6 lane 25 yard pool (the Blue Lagoon) at the BAC/Odle was built in 1970 with the 1,750 square foot warm water therapy pool (Hot Springs) added in 1997 by the City of Bellevue when they took ownership of the facility from King County. The population of Bellevue in 1970 was 61,200. Today the population is 148,100. Over ten years ago the 2009 Bellevue Aquatic Center Feasibility Study concluded that the existing BAC/Odle pools could not meet existing demand when the population of Bellevue was 120,000. Today the lack of aquatic facilities to support the City needs is much worse with a population of 148,100 and growing. Waitlists for City swim lessons have grown to over 900 individuals. As great as the need for more pool space in Bellevue is, the need for specific varieties and types of pool space is even greater. Following is an assessment of the current BAC/Odle facility and programming. The majority of programming at the BAC/Odle is provided by independent outside contractors. The aquatic programs provided by contractors are described as follows in the Bellevue Recreation Department Connections publication: “The Bellevue Aquatic Center has a diverse group of contractors operating at our facility. These program areas include: physical, occupational, and recreational therapy, fitness and exercise programs, USS Swim teams, private and group swim lessons, triathlon training, springboard diving, and Scuba Diving.” SPLASHForward and ISG have spoken with many of these outside contractors in our analysis of the BAC/Odle facility as well as the needs and opportunities for a new Aquatic Center and the renovation of the existing BAC/Odle.

Hagen A Thesis in the Field of History for a Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 2017 Copyright 2017 Paul B. Hagen Abstract Founded in 1851, Seattle was little more than a rough-and-tumble frontier town at the onset of the Civil War. However, by 1880 the young community had developed into a small, but prosperous city. Not only did the population grow immensely during this time, but the character of the town also changed. By 1880 Seattle was no longer just another western logging town, but rather a civilized metropolitan center. Although the rapid development of Seattle is widely accepted, the connection between it and the Civil War has not been reported. Historical data suggest that the Civil War did influence the development of Seattle. The Civil War caused Seattle’s population to grow through recruitment of unemployed war widows and orphans. These recruits brought New England culture to Seattle, which served as a civilizing force. The Civil War also led to policies that helped Seattle develop in other ways.
