The Ridge Motorsports Park

The Ridge Motorsports Park is located near Shelton, Washington, approximately 25 mi (40 km) northwest of Olympia, Washington. Ground was broken for the Steve Crawford designed road course on 26 April 2011. The full road course is 2.470 mi (3.975 km) long with 16 turns and a change in elevation of more than 300 ft (91 m) from start to finish. The first event at "The Ridge" was a charity event benefitting local Mason County food banks, held on 10–11 December 2011. The first official race, a Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association - WMRRA event, was held on 26 May 2012. Subsequent events include championship racing by regional car and motorcycle sanctioning bodies, lapping events by car clubs, motorcycle organizations, and other events. For the 2014 season, turn 13 of the original road circuit was reconfigured to mitigate excessive surface degradation, and the terrain surrounding the road circuit underwent an enormous amount of grading and smoothing prior to the application of topsoil and hydro-seeding, to both enhance the appearance of the facility and to manage runoff. New poured in place concrete barrier walls were constructed to replace temporary barriers, curbing was added in several places and additional new paving was completed. Finally, a large spectator viewing area was created on the upper part of the site. In 2015, an outdoor scale replica kart track was added to the site, named "Olympic Grand Prix", or "OGP". OGP is a 1/5th scale replica of the road circuit, including elevation change. Additionally for 2015, the available paved paddock area was nearly doubled in size. For 2016, electrical power and water systems were brought on line and a bathroom & shower building was completed. Construction of a new motocross facility called "Ridge MX", also began in the spring of 2016, with initial test laps being run on 6 May 2016. An invitational pre-grand opening test event was held on 1 October 2016 and the official grand opening was held on 29 October 2016. In 2020, The Ridge Motorsports park added a chicane to the 2,850 ft (870 m) front straight to slow down superbikes ahead of its inaugural MotoAmerica event on June 26–28. Use of the chicane is optional for each sanctioning body and track day organizer.

University Presbyterian Church (Seattle)

University Presbyterian Church in Seattle, Washington, United States is a Presbyterian congregation with 2,434 members as of 2021. As of 2016, its senior pastor was George Hinman. History The church was founded in 1908. The church had a large membership increase during the 1980s, when it was led by pastor Bruce Larson; Larson subsequently became co-pastor of the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California. The current organ was completed in 1999. The Reuter Organ, Opus 2196, was built in Lawrence Kansas. The organ committee, their consultant, Joseph Adam, and organist JoAnn Stremler helped collaborate on the new organ's design with Reuter's regional representative, David R. Salmen. Senior Pastor Dr. Earl F. Palmer said of the organ: "In this house of worship we call University Presbyterian Church, that gift of great and tender sound is ours. Tears still well up in my eyes when I hear its subtlety and grandeur." Earl Palmer was senior pastor for 15 years, following Bruce Larson and preceding George Hinman. Palmer retired to form Earl Palmer Ministries where he continued teaching, ministering, and mentoring until his death in 2023. Palmer's articles, videos, and sermons can be heard and downloaded from his web site, including episodes from the Kindlings Muse, Earl's lectures on C. S. Lewis, and hundreds of sermons reaching back to the 1970s. In 2001, the average weekly attendance was 5,000 (marking it as a megachurch at the time). Current status As of 2021, the weekly attendance is 800. University Presbyterian Church provides ministries for "the mentally ill, homeless teens living on the streets, and those who are in prison." The congregation was a pioneer in the practice of sending short-term mission teams overseas. References External links Official website

Weyerhaeuser Office Building

The Weyerhaeuser Office Building is a historic building located in Everett, Washington. It was built in 1923 as offices for Weyerhaeuser, at the time the largest employer in Everett; the company commissioned architect Carl Gould to design a 6,000-square-foot (560 m2) building that would showcase local wood varieties such as fir, cedar, and hemlock. The building houses a two-story, concrete-and-steel, 160 ton vault that was originally used to store the company payroll. The Gothic-style structure was erected at the company's first Everett plant, known as Mill A. The building was first moved by barge in 1938. It was located up the Snohomish River to the company's Mill B, located near the Legion Memorial Golf Course. The structure served as an office space until the mill closed in 1979. In 1983, the building was donated to the Port of Everett. It was relocated at the Port's south marina the following year and served as an office space for the Everett Chamber of Commerce in the 1980s. In July 2016, the structure was relocated to Boxcar Park, located within the Esplanade District at the water's edge. The building had been moved twice before to other locations around Everett, most recently in 2016. The building includes a 100-ton safe which complicated its move. The port planned to reopen the building in 2020, but the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic rendered the renovation work cost-prohibitive without a private partner. The port commission eventually approved a ten-year lease with The Lokey Group, led by Whidbey Island restaurateur Jack Ng, to operate the building as a bar, coffee shop, and museum in March 2022. The renovated building, designed by Flat Rock Productions, tentatively renamed The Muse, was projected to open on March 23, 2023, to mark the centennial of its original opening. The opening of the coffeeshop and bar at the Muse was delayed to July 2023. The re-envisioning of the Weyerhaeuser Office Building received the Historic Renovation of the Year Award from the Washington state chapter of the NAIOP. The Weyerhaeuser Office Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 and delisted in 2022 following the move. It was re-added to the historic register in 2024.

LeMay Family Collection Foundation

The LeMay Family Collection Foundation was born out of Harold LeMay's dream of keeping his massive car collection together and in a place where others could appreciate it. Separate from America's Car Museum in downtown Tacoma, the LeMay Family Collection is still directly owned and controlled by the LeMay family. Today, the museum is open to the public 6 days a week. About 500 cars are on display in the collection at all times, with some being rotated into or out of off-site storage. The collection is located at the historic Marymount Military Academy, which housed a school for boys and a home for nuns before it became a home for Harold and Nancy LeMay's vintage car collection. The LeMay Family Collection Foundation is also the site of the annual LeMay Car Show. The LeMay Family Collection Foundation was nominated for one of King 5's Best Museums in Western Washington in 2013. It placed 14th out of more than 60 nominees. In 2015, the Collection placed in the top 5. References External links Official website

University of Washington School of Social Work

The University of Washington School of Social Work is the social work school of the University of Washington, a public research university in Seattle, Washington. The School is located in the University District neighborhood of Seattle, Washington adjacent to the main University of Washington campus. Beginning in the early 1900s, the School developed from a single course to an independent department accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. History 1900s In 1918, the University used Red Cross funding to establish a social casework course in the Department of Sociology in order to train caseworkers to provide services to families of servicemen returning from World War I. This represented the first formal social work training in the state of Washington. 1930s At the height of the Great Depression in 1934, UW established the graduate program at the School with funding from the Washington State Emergency Relief Association in response to the need for public agency social workers and administrators in the region. The School's graduate program became independent in 1934 under the direction of Arlien Johnson and was formally accredited by the Council on Social Work Education during the same year. Ernest Witte becomes the school's director in 1939, adopting a two-year masters program, and expanding the curriculum and fieldwork opportunities. The School gained independent status as a professional school in 1958. The undergraduate program was established in 1959 and formally accredited by the Council on Social Work Education in 1975. The School officially added a doctoral program in 1975 and a three-year evening master's degree program in the 1980s. Research Centers Current research centers include the Social Development Research Group, the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute, and Partners for Our Children. Partnerships Since 2006, the School of Social Work has partnered with the Royal University of Phnom Penh in Cambodia to develop social work curriculum and train social work professionals to address pressing societal problems, following years of civil discord. Rankings and reputation In 2024, the School was ranked 7th out of 319 schools for best graduate programs in social work by the U.S. News & World Report.

Hügelkultur

El hügelkultur (en alemán, /ˈhyːɡl̩kʊlˌtuːɐ̯/ «cultivo de colina») es un proceso de compostaje que emplea canteros en forma de montículo construidos sobre una cama de desechos de madera y otros materiales compostables vegetales. Este proceso mejora la retención de agua del suelo, aumenta su temperatura y su fertilidad, beneficiando de esta manera a las plantas que están cultivadas en el montículo o cerca de este.​​ Descripción Una cama hügelkultur reproduce el proceso de descomposición natural que tiene lugar en los suelos forestales. Los árboles que caen en los bosques a menudo se convierten en soporte para otras plantas, descomponiéndose y contribuyendo a la formación de un humus rico que proporciona un lecho de siembra y condiciones adecuadas para la germinación de las plántulas. Al descomponerse la madera, la porosidad del suelo se incrementa, lo que le permite almacenar agua como "si fuera una esponja", beneficiando a las plantas cercanas.​ Los montículos hügelkultur son ideales para áreas donde los suelos son pobres o compactos. Suelen ser más fáciles de mantener debido a su altura relativa por encima del terreno.​ Las camas usualmente son de 1 m por 2 m de área y de 1 metro de altura aproximadamente.​ Historia Hügelkultur es una palabra alemana que significa montículo cultura o colina cultura.​ Fue practicado en la cultura alemana y de Europa del Este durante cientos de años,​​ antes de ser desarrollado por Sepp Holzer, un Austriaco experto en permacultura.​ Construcción En sus formas básicas, los montículos son construidos apilando troncos, ramas, restos vegetales, compost y tierra adicional directamente en el suelo o en una zanja poco profunda.​​ Los montículos también pueden hacerse alternando capas de madera, césped, abono, paja y tierra. Aunque su construcción es sencilla, la planificación es necesaria para evitar las pendientes empinadas que darían lugar a la erosión. Algunos diseños recomiendan que los montículos tengan una pendiente de entre 65 y 80 grados.​ En su libro Desert or Paradise: Restoring Endangered Landscapes Using Water Management, Including Lake and Pond Construction, Holzer explica un método de construcción Hügelkultur incluyendo un diseño que incorpora basura como cartón, ropa y residuos de cocina. El recomienda construir montículos de 1 metro de ancho y de cualquier longitud. Los montículos deben ser construidos con una zanja si el suelo es arenoso y sin ella si el suelo es húmedo.​ Véase también Compost Huella hídrica Permacultura Quema agrícola Referencias Enlaces externos "Cultivando en camas elevadas", en Ecohabitar.org "Hügelkultur: The Ultimate Raised Garden Beds", por Paul Wheaton (en inglés)
Sourdough Mountain Lookout

The Sourdough Mountain Lookout is a fire lookout that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933. Constructed atop Sourdough Mountain in North Cascades National Park, in the U.S. state of Washington, the lookout was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. An earlier lookout was erected at the site in 1917 but was torn down when the current lookout was constructed. The current structure was built atop a rock foundation and is 14.25 ft (4.34 m) by 14.25 ft (4.34 m) square. The walls are composed of shiplap siding and the structure is covered with a wood-shingled hip roof. Diagonally-braced plywood shutters could be swung open for observation in each direction. The structure is no longer used on a regular basis but is visited with some frequency by hikers and it is a 5 mi (8.0 km) hike to the cabin from the trailhead. During the summer of 1953, poet Gary Snyder worked at the location as a fire lookout while his friend and fellow poet Philip Whalen worked at Sauk Mountain Lookout. Snyder's poem "Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout" is based on his time there as is his poem "August on Sourdough, A Visit from Dick Brewer." Snyder's time at Sourdough Mountain Lookout is said to have provided the "seed experience for the poetry he is best known for: language full of the raw, playful wit that reflects the granite ridges where he worked and watched and wrote." Two years later Snyder was blacklisted by the Forest Service from working another season at Sourdough Mountain so Whalen took his place as the lookout. While there Whalen wrote "Sourdough Mountain Lookout," one of his "most enduring poems." The poem references Whalen's work as a lookout along with "musings on rocks, insects, animals, and weather." In August 2023, the lookout was wrapped in fire-proof material to mitigate potential damage caused by the nearby Sourdough Fire.
