Hull Building

The Hull Building (also known as the A-1 Laundry Building) is a historic commercial building located at 2401-2405 1st Avenue in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Designed by notable Northwest architect Elmer Fisher, It was constructed in the latter half of 1889 as an investment property by Seattle politician Alonzo Hull (1843-1929) and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 1983. It is adjacent to the Battery Street Tunnel's south portal. History The Hull Building was built in 1889 by Alonzo Hull (1843-1929), a Pennsylvania native and American Civil War veteran who had arrived in Seattle a year prior via Little Rock, Arkansas and quickly began buying property. He took an active role in the local Republican Party and served on the Seattle City Council throughout the 1890s where he helped establish the city's water system and was vital in securing the Cedar River Water shed as Seattle's primary water source. In February 1889 Hull purchased the lot at the Northwest corner of 1st Avenue (then known as Front Street) and Battery Street for $13,000 from Dr. Edward C. Kilbourne, kitty corner to William Bell's grand hotel that formed the nucleus of the burgeoning North Seattle neighborhood AKA Belltown. At Kilbourne's urging, Hull commissioned architect Elmer Fisher to design a 3-story brick building to occupy the lot with construction beginning that Spring. Completed in January 1890, Hull's $30,000 building was one of the first substantial brick buildings completed in the neighborhood. Featuring a restrained Victorian motif with exposed corbelled brick, pressed tin trimmings and cast iron storefront columns, it was typical of Fisher's style just prior to the Great Seattle Fire. The building contained 3 store rooms facing First Avenue while the upper floors were used as working class apartments, home to the likes of cooks, stenographers, ship captains, and clerks and owners of the downstairs businesses. One of the building's earliest retail tenants was the Barnes & Co. Pharmacy; drug stores under various names would operate in the corner store for most of the early 20th century. The lack of commercial development in Belltown after the early 20th century helped preserve the building's character and eventually the upper floors fell vacant and have remained so to the present day. At some point the building's cornices were replaced with near replicas but otherwise the building has had minimal restoration work. The Hull building was purchased by the Eng Family in 1958, who operated A-1 Laundry out the building's first floor and basement for 58 years, closing in 2016 and putting the building up for sale. It was purchased by Hull Building LLC.

Medical Dental Building (Seattle)

The Medical Dental Building is a historic office building located in Downtown Seattle, near McGraw Square and adjacent to the Nordstrom Building. Description and history The original half 18-story building was designed in the Late Gothic Revival style and features terra cotta cladding on top of a concrete frame. A later addition in 1950, in the Moderne style, extended the structure eastward and renovated most of the original building. The construction of a medical and dental center in Seattle was proposed in 1921 by a group of businessmen in the respective industries. The $2 million building opened in May 1925 and was initially owned by the Bradner family, who subsequently owned The Bradner Building Company. It was designed by architect John Alfred Creutzer (1874–1929); architect Abraham H. Albertson (1872–1964) supervised its construction; A.W. Quist Company was the general contractor. At the time it opened, it was the third-tallest building in the world to exclusively use reinforced concrete construction. The building continues to house medical and dental practices, as well as retail spaces. As of 2019, it has 130 tenants occupying 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2) of office space. The building was renovated in 2005 by Goodman Real Estate after the firm bought the property for $38 million. It was subsequently added to the National Register of Historic Places and declared a Seattle landmark. The building was sold to Menashe Properties of Portland in 2019 for $113 million.

U.S. Post Office and Customshouse (Everett, Washington)

The U.S. Post Office and Customshouse in Everett, Washington served as the city's main post office from 1917 to 1964. It has also been known as Federal Building. The building, designed in the Neoclassical form by Oscar Wenderoth, now houses the offices of the Chicago Title Company. The two-story building's front facade features eight Greek Ionic columns. The reinforced concrete structure is finished with Wilkinson sandstone and granite quarried in Index. On August 6, 1975, the building, then home to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, was bombed by an unknown assailant at the same time as a federal building in Tacoma. The bureau turned the building over to the General Services Administration in the late 1990s, who prepared it for a possible sale. The city of Everett sought to acquire the building as the home to a museum, but faced competition from the Tulalip Tribes, who planned to house a post office in the building. Ultimately, the building was acquired in 2000 by the Henry Cogswell College for use as its main campus and renovated at a cost of $2 million. The college closed in 2006, selling the building to private developers in 2008 for $2.4 million. The Chicago Title Company moved into the building in 2009. References
Waterfall Garden Park

Waterfall Garden Park, also called UPS Park and UPS Waterfall Park, is a private 60-by-80-foot (18 m × 24 m) pocket park in Seattle, Washington, created in 1978 at the original United Parcel Service building in Pioneer Square. It is open to the public during the day and closed at night. The park was designed by Masao Kinoshita with Sasaki Associates and funded by Annie E. Casey Foundation to commemorate UPS's founder, James Casey. The park is named for a manmade 22-foot (6.7 m) tall waterfall over which is pumped 5,000 US gallons (19,000 L) of water per minute. It is described as "one of the most expensive parks per square foot ever built in the United States". Roger Sale says in the guidebook Seeing Seattle that the park is locked at night to keep out the sizeable Pioneer Square homeless population. The park's Japanese garden includes Chamaecyparis obtusa and other botanicals native to Japan, and a pool designed by Yoshikuni Araki. The garden won the Environmental Award of the American Nurserymens Association in 1981.

Bridge for Kids

The Bridge for Kids is a proposed bridge across the Carbon River in Orting, Washington, about one mile (1.6 km) upstream of where it joins the Puyallup River. It would provide an emergency evacuation route for school children to escape a future lahar flow from Mount Rainier, consisting of an up to 10-meter-high (33 ft) flood of mud, rock and boulders. As of 2016, the $40 million bridge was still in the planning phase. Background Lahars from the Cascade Volcanoes are historically common. Orting is situated in the floodplain of the Puyallup River and on top of the debris field of past lahars from Mount Rainier, including the Osceola Mudflow. The Osceola Mudflow followed an eruption 5,600 years ago that left a horseshoe-shaped crater in Mount Rainier comparable to that of the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens and deposited debris across a 212-square-mile (550 km2) area as far as Commencement Bay on Puget Sound. Another event, the Electron Mudflow, produced a lahar that was 30 meters (98 ft) deep when it reached the Puget Sound lowland. The current lahar risk is considered extremely high in Orting, with an estimated one in seven chance of a catastrophic event in a resident's lifetime. Land use planning and emergency management in Orting differs from that in surrounding Pierce County, allowing development and location of schools in this area. The Mount Rainier Volcano Lahar Warning System has existed since 2000 to give residents in high-risk areas some advance warning of an approaching lahar, but evacuation drills in Orting have shown that motorized transportation (school buses) is not a viable option for removing students from the lahar zone due to road congestion and time factors. Evacuation planning at Orting schools started in 1995, and it was then that the insufficiency of infrastructure began to be an issue. As of 2016, drills were showing student evacuation times via an existing 2-mile (3.2 km) foot route to still be in excess of the notification window. Bridge design A yearlong design process was started by Pierce County in consultation with Washington State Department of Transportation and other agencies and a citizens' group in January, 2009, after considering other evacuation means such as pathways and a tunnel under the river. The bridge would be 20–30 feet (6.1–9.1 m) wide and accommodate 12,000 people in 30 minutes. Orting is estimated to have a 40 minute evacuation window after the Mount Rainier Volcano Lahar Warning System is activated. Preliminary design renderings from 2014 show a pedestrian suspension bridge with stairsteps approaching a lower pier, and another pier 150 feet (46 m) higher on a ridge above Orting, near the community of Tehaleh. Part of the bridge deck would contain stairs and lie at a 40% slope. See also Mount Rainier § Geology References External links Bridge For Kids organization, Graham, Washington
Maynard Building

The Maynard Building is a five-story office building in Seattle, Washington, United States. Constructed in 1892 on a Romanesque Revival design by Albert Wickersham, the masonry building was originally known as the Dexter Horton Building and housed Dexter Horton's nascent banking business, which eventually grew into Seafirst Bank. Located at 119 First Avenue South in the city's Pioneer Square neighborhood, the building took its current name in honor of Doc Maynard. The Maynard Building underwent a major refurbishment between 1974 and 1975. The Maynard Building was constructed on the site of a previous building also known as the Dexter Horton Building. During the Seattle riot of 1886 Governor Watson Squire's martial law decree was read from the steps of that building to "yells and howls of defiance" from the assembled mob.

Hill-Crest

Hill-Crest (sometimes known as the "Walker-Ames Mansion" or "the 808 House") is the official residence of the president of the University of Washington. As of 2013 it was the single most valuable public university presidential residence in the United States. History Built in 1907 by lumber baron Edwin Ames and his wife, the heiress Maud Walker Ames, Hill-Crest was in 1931 bequeathed to the University of Washington, along with most of the rest of the substantial Walker-Ames fortune. The university took possession of the property in 1932 with president Lyle Spencer becoming the mansion's first university occupant. The conditions of the bequest require the president of the university maintain permanent residence in the home and a 2006 request by president Mark Emmert to maintain a separate residence was rejected by the university's board of regents‍—‌despite a flooded basement and other problems with the property‍—‌as it would have forced the university to sell the house. In the early 2000s the property underwent an $800,000 renovation, following which a $2 million endowment was established by former football player Jim Houston to guarantee its perpetual upkeep. University president Michael K. Young was married at Hill-Crest in 2011. Previous presidential residences The University president's first residence was a wood frame structure located between Fourth Avenue and Fifth Avenue in downtown Seattle. It was occupied from 1861 to 1895. The former New York Pavilion of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition was subsequently renovated to serve as the seat of the president, which it continued to do until 1927 when it was converted for use as academic space. Property Hill-Crest has 35 rooms, as well as an elevator and a pipe organ, and sits on 1.4 acres (0.57 ha) overlooking Lake Washington. The total interior footprint is 12,800 square feet (1,190 m2); interiors are decorated in wood paneling, principally Douglas fir and Honduran mahogany. There is a separate carriage house. Hill-Crest's approximate market value, in 2013, was $8.5 million making it then the single most expensive public university presidential residence in the United States and more valuable than the Washington Governor's Mansion. The facility is maintained by a full-time, non-residential staff which includes a majordomo, chef, gardener, and housekeeper. See also List of University of Washington Presidents References
Hill–Crest

A Hill–Crest (más néven „Walker–Ames kastély” vagy „808-as ház”) a Washingtoni Egyetem rektorának lakóhelye. 2013-ban az ország legértékesebb rektori lakóházának számított. A Washington-tóra néző, 0,57 hektáros területen fekvő épületben 35 lakószoba, egy felvonó és egy orgona is található. Az 1190 négyzetméter alapterületű ház burkolatai fenyőből és mahagónifából készültek. A telken egy lovaskocsi-tároló is van. A házban teljes munkaidős személyzet (udvarmester, házvezető, séf és kertész) dolgozik. Története Az egyetem rektori rezidenciája 1861 és 1895 között Seattle belvárosában volt, majd 1927-ig az Alaska–Yukon–Pacific világkiállítás New York pavilonját használták erre a célra. Az 1907-ben épült Hill–Crest Edwin Ames báró és Maud Walker Ames báróné tulajdonában volt. Az épületet és az Amesek tulajdonának többségét 1931-ben örökölte meg a Washingtoni Egyetem. Az öröklés feltételei miatt a rektornak a rezidencián kellett élnie; 2006-ban Mark Emmert külső helyszínre költözött volna, azonban az intézmény ezt nem engedélyezte, mivel ehhez a Hill–Crestet el kellett volna adniuk. A 2000-es évek elején a házat 800 000 dolláros beruházás keretében felújították, majd Jim Houston egykori amerikaifutball-játékos kétmillió dolláros alapot hozott létre a fenntartásra.

Spokane Community College Transit Center

Spokane Community College Transit Center or SCC Transit Center is a transit center and BRT terminus in the Spokane Transit Authority route system. It is one of Spokane Transit's four primary transit centers, along with the STA Plaza, West Plains, and Pence-Cole Valley transit centers. It is located on the southeastern corner of the Spokane Community College campus along Mission Avenue and serves as a transfer point for bus routes serving Spokane Valley, Millwood, North Spokane, and South Spokane. It also serves as the eastern terminus for the City Line. History Initial transit center Planning for the Spokane Community College transit center began around 1982 and the center opened c. 1984. It was later reconstructed during summer 2013 in a project that replaced all existing shelter structures and added additional bus loading zones. The 2013 improvements are intended to be an interim solution as the transit center will eventually be replaced by a newer and larger one. 2019 relocation The decision was made to reconstruct the Spokane Community College transit center at a site on the opposite side of campus. Growing transit operations combined with site constraints, particularly the construction of an elevated North Spokane Corridor adjacent to the current site, limit the future potential of the transit center in its current form. Construction on the new transit center began in 2019 and was completed in December 2019. City Line The SCC Transit Center serves as the eastern terminus of the City Line bus rapid transit (BRT) line, which began service in 2023. Infrastructure for the battery-electric buses includes two in-route ABB overhead SAE J3105 pantograph fast chargers. Location As implied by its name, the transit center is located at the southeast corner of the Spokane Community College campus. Routes As of February 2025, the Spokane Community College Transit Center serves six routes and is a terminus and charging center for the City Line. References
Stratus (building)

Stratus is a residential high-rise building in Seattle, Washington. The 43-story skyscraper, located in the Denny Triangle neighborhood, was completed in 2017, with 396 apartments and ground-floor retail space. Stratus is located across the street from Cirrus, another apartment building developed by GID that opened in 2015.
