2020 Volunteer Resources Around Seattle Center COMPLETE SEATTLE/KING COUNTY CLINIC February 13 – 16, 2020 at Seattle Center Volunteer Transportation, Parking, Lodging & Dining, and Other Resources Thank you for volunteering for Seattle/King County Clinic! We hope the information provided in this document will help you to make the most of your time with us. Transportation & Parking Connect from SeaTac Airport to Seattle Center by riding Sound Transit’s Link Light Rail1 to Westlake Center ($3.00 one- way; buy tickets at the kiosks at SeaTac station), then catching the Seattle Center Monorail2 ($3.00 one-way; cash, debit/credit cards, and ORCA card; exact change is not required). Monorail hours start at 7:30 AM, Monday – Friday, and 8:30 AM, Saturday & Sunday. Free parking is available for volunteers Feb 11–17, 2020, in the Mercer Street Garage. See directions below and map at end of this document. Directions to Mercer Street Garage 650 3rd Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109 If you use a GPS app for route guidance, a couple of things to keep in mind: • Although Mercer Street is the most direct route between I-5 and Seattle Center, it’s rarely the fastest route during daily rush hours (7am–9am and 3pm–6pm) due to high traffic volumes. • The SR 99 tunnel3 is subject to tolls ($1 to $2.25 with GoodToGo pass, $2 higher without).

  • Parks and Recreation
    PARKS AND RECREATION Parks and Recreation Overview of Facilities and Programs The Department of Parks and Recreation manages 400 parks and open areas in its approximately 6,200 acres of property throughout the City, works with the public to be good stewards of the park system, and provides safe and welcoming opportunities for the public to play, learn, contemplate, and build community. The park system comprises about 10% of the City’s land area; it includes 485 buildings, 224 parks, 185 athletic fields, 122 children's play areas, 24 community centers, 151 outdoor tennis courts, 22 miles of boulevards, an indoor tennis center, two outdoor and eight indoor swimming pools, four golf courses, studios, boat ramps, moorage, fishing piers, trails, camps, viewpoints and open spaces, a rock climbing site, a conservatory, a classical Japanese garden, and a waterfront aquarium. The development of this system is guided by the Seattle Parks & Recreation Plan 2000, the 38 neighborhood plans, the Joint Athletic Facilities Development Program with the Seattle School District, the 1999 Seattle Center and Community Centers Levy, the 2000 Parks Levy, and DPR’s annual update to the Major Maintenance Plan. 2000 Parks Levy In November 2000, Seattle voters approved a $198.2 million levy lid lift for Parks and Recreation. The levy closely follows the plan forged by the Pro Parks 2000 Citizens Planning Committee. The levy is designed to fund more than 100 projects to improve maintenance and enhance programming of existing parks, including the Woodland Park Zoo; acquire, develop and maintain new neighborhood parks, green spaces, playfields, trails and boulevards; and add out-of-school and senior activities.

  • TRANSIT SYSTEMS and SERVICES in SEATTLE Author: Peter Lindsay Updated: May 20, 2015
    TRANSIT SYSTEMS AND SERVICES IN SEATTLE Author: Peter Lindsay Updated: May 20, 2015 INTRODUCTION On a typical weekday about 40 percent of commuters ride a bus or take a train to work in downtown Seattle. While the City of Seattle does not directly operate transit systems, the City does own transit assets. The City of Seattle’s Comprehensive Plan (page 3.9), states that “providing convenient and accessible transit service can help reduce reliance on single- occupant vehicles, slow the increase in environmental degradation associated with their use, and increase mobility without building new streets and highways.” On April 16, 2012, the City Council passed Resolution 31367, which adopted the Seattle Transit Master Plan (TMP). The TMP provides a 20-year look (through 2030) to the type of transit system that will be required to meet Seattle’s transit needs. It is an extensive update of the 2005 TMP, which identified key corridors linking urban villages and established performance standards for transit service. The 2012 TMP expanded that work and includes an evaluation of rail modes, rapid bus services, light rail station design, and capital infrastructure. The TMP addresses many critical issues, including: • Identification of the city’s most important transit corridors that carry high ridership today, as well as potential new ridership markets that will emerge as Seattle grows in jobs and new residents. • Selection of transit modes, such as bus rapid transit, light rail or streetcar that would work best on those corridors. • Integration of transit capital facilities and services with walking and biking infrastructure, as well as using transit to make great places.

INTRODUCTION Many important and long planned transportation and development projects are scheduled for con- struction in Downtown Seattle in the coming years. While these investments are essential to support economic development and job growth and to enhance Downtown’s stature as the region’s premier location to live, work, shop and play, in the short-term they present complicated challenges for con- venient and reliable access to and through Downtown. The Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) and its partners, Historic South Downtown (HSD) and the Seat- tle Department of Transportation (SDOT), seek to ensure that Downtown Seattle survives and prospers during the extraordinarily high level of construction activity that will occur in the coming years.

  • Report on Designation Lpb 11/12
    REPORT ON DESIGNATION LPB 11/12 Name and Address of Property: Fashioncraft Building/Recovery Cafe 2022 Boren Avenue Legal Description: Lots 3 and 4 lying West of Fairview Avenue, Block 53 of the Plat of the Second Addition to the Town of Seattle Laid Off by the Heirs of Sarah A. Bell, according to the Plat thereof recorded in Volume 1 of Plats, Page 121, in King County, Washington. At the public meeting held on January 4, 2012 the City of Seattle's Landmarks Preservation Board voted to approve designation of the Fashioncraft Building/Recovery Café at 2022 Boren Avenue as a Seattle Landmark based upon satisfaction of the following standards for designation of SMC 25.12.350: C. It is associated in a significant way with a significant aspect of the cultural, political, or economic heritage of the community, City, state, or nation; and D. It embodies the distinctive visible characteristics of an architectural style, period, or of a method of construction; and F. Because of its prominence of spatial location, contrasts of siting, age, or scale, it is an easily identifiable visual feature of its neighborhood or the City and contributes to the distinctive quality or identity of such neighborhood or the City. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Overall Aspect The Fashioncraft Building at 2022 Boren Avenue is sited on the triangular lot, bounded by Denny Way, Fairview Avenue and Boren Avenue. The building, whose plan is basically a chamfered right triangle, is one story in height, but has a basement.

  • Seattle Center Monorail Braking System Upgrade
    Seattle Center Monorail Braking System Upgrade Seattle, Washington ORIGINALLY BUILT TO SHOWCASE AMERICAN INNOVATION FOR THE 1962 WORLD’S FAIR, THE SEATTLE CENTER MONORAIL IS THE OLDEST AND MOST FAMOUS OF ALL U.S. MONORAIL SYSTEMS. AFTER PERFORMING RELIABLY FOR MORE THAN 43 YEARS, THE AGING SYSTEM WAS IN NEED OF AN UPGRADE PROGRAM TO MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH TODAY’S PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. SCHWAGER DAVIS, INC. HAS BEEN PROVIDING ESSENTIAL SOLUTIONS EVER SINCE. The contract was performed on schedule, within budget and to the full satisfaction of the client. The Seattle Center Monorail in Washington State is the oldest operational monorail in the United States. Originally built to showcase American transportation innovation for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Alweg-designed system has since continued to operate as a downtown Seattle people mover and tourist attraction throughout five decades.. Although the monorail had undergone numerous upgrades and renovations over the years, in 2005 it was still operating in its original configuration as a driver-controlled, manually-operated system with few modern automated safety features. In early 2006, Schwager Davis, Inc. was contracted to review potential system safety hazards and to provide a solution to lower the g-forces of the existing emergency braking system. At the time, the emergency braking system stopped the trains too abruptly when applied, and was known to present a potential safety hazard. SDI provided a two-phase solution. Phase I involved analysis of the existing overly-abrupt emergency brakes and working with the owner’s control system integrator to provide a solution for the brakes along with measures to enable the semi-automated controls to provide a method of monitoring the operator’s speed and station approach performance.
