Kinnear Park

Kinnear Park is a 14.1-acre (57,000 m2) park on the southwest slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington, United States located between W. Olympic Place on the northeast, W. Mercer Place and Elliott Avenue W. on the southwest, the 9th Avenue W. right of way on the west, and the 6th Avenue W. right of way on the east. It is two-tiered, with a lawn and open space atop the cliff, and a wooded area below. History Kinnear Park is named for local real estate developer George Kinnear, who sold an 11-acre (4.5 ha) parcel of land to the city for a dollar in 1887. He donated a second parcel of 3 acres (1.2 ha) in 1897. While work on the park had already begun when E. O. Schwagerl was appointed Seattle's superintendent of parks in 1892, he greatly influenced its design as its landscape architect, directing the planting and the construction of various amenities. In 1903, John C. Olmsted was commissioned to prepare a comprehensive parks plan for Seattle. Although Kinnear Park had already been completed, he approved of its design, saying in his report, "the park is pleasing in detail and extremely valuable, owing to the fine views which it commands over the Sound. It is a good sample of the miles of similar bluff parks which it is hoped the city will eventually have," and including the park in his overall plan. It has been designated a Seattle landmark by the city government. References External links Parks Department page on Kinnear Park

Klickitat Trail

The Klickitat Trail is a 31-mile (50 km) rail trail along the Klickitat River in southern Washington in the Columbia River Gorge. The cycling and hiking trail offers river and canyon views throughout its length. It follows an old railroad corridor that at one time linked the towns of Lyle and Goldendale. Route The trail consists of two sections; one along the Klickitat river, from Lyle to Swale Canyon, and the remainder which continues through Swale Canyon to Warwick. The Swale Canyon section is closed during fire season, approximately July 1 - October 1. Geology and biology The route includes a remote tributary canyon, a nationally designated Wild & Scenic River and a National Scenic Area. The wildlife in the area includes wild turkeys, rattlesnakes and cougars. Deer kills on the trail by cougars are common, and yearly salmon runs attract bald eagles. History The region was originally passed through by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, with Lewis and Clark calling the Klickitat river the "Cataract river". In 1903, the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway built the original track linking Lyle and Goldendale. Passenger service existed for several years during the 1920s between Portland, Oregon, and Goldendale, Washington. Lumber was an important part of its transport until the 1980s. It was abandoned in 1992 following the decline of the lumber mill in the town of Klickitat and the mill in Goldendale. The railroad right-of-way was purchased in 1993 by the national Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. Ownership of the rail line was transferred to Washington State Parks in 1994, despite some local opposition. In 2003, local supporters of the Trail formed the Klickitat Trail Conservancy (KTC). The Klickitat Trail, a public right of way, is now managed cooperatively by Washington State, the U.S. Forest Service, and the KTC. In 2007–2008, the U.S. Forest Service completed its Trail management and development plan which includes a partnership with the Klicktitat Trail Conservancy (KTC) and Washington State Parks.

Talsperre LaGrande

Die Talsperre LaGrande (englisch LaGrande Dam oder La Grande Dam) ist eine Talsperre im Bundesstaat Washington, USA. Sie staut den Nisqually River zu einem kleinen Stausee auf. Der Nisqually bildet an dieser Stelle die Grenze zwischen dem Pierce County und dem Thurston County. Das Kraftwerk der Talsperre befindet sich ungefähr 58 km (36 miles) südöstlich von Tacoma; die Alder-Talsperre liegt ca. 3 km flussaufwärts der Talsperre. Geschichte Der Stadtrat von Tacoma beschloss 1909, ein Wasserkraftwerk am Nisqually zu errichten, um von privaten Stromerzeugern unabhängig zu werden. Ein Vorschlag des Stadtrats zur Ausgabe von Schuldverschreibungen in Höhe von 2,3 Mio. USD fand die Zustimmung der Bürger. Mit der Errichtung des Kraftwerks und des zugehörigen Absperrbauwerks wurde im Februar 1910 begonnen. Das Kraftwerk ging im November 1912 planmäßig in Betrieb. Dieses erste Absperrbauwerk hatte eine Höhe von 10,7 m (35 ft) bzw. 13,7 m (45 ft); seine Länge betrug 68,5 m (225 ft). Es lag etwas flussaufwärts von der Stelle, an der sich heute die Alder-Talsperre befindet. Vom Absperrbauwerk führte ein Tunnel mit einer Länge von ca. 3 km (2 miles) zum Kraftwerk. Der erzeugte Strom wurde über eine 58 km (36 miles) lange 69-kV-Leitung nach Tacoma abgeführt und dort für 6 cents pro kWh verkauft. Aufgrund des steigenden Strombedarfs der Stadt Tacoma wurde das ursprüngliche Absperrbauwerk in den 1940er Jahren durch die beiden Talsperren Alder und LaGrande ersetzt, wodurch sich die installierte Leistung von 24 MW auf 114 MW (Alder 50 MW; LaGrande 64 MW) erhöhte. Die Errichtungskosten für die Talsperren Alder und LaGrande lagen bei 23,6 Mio. USD und damit bei mehr als dem Doppelten der ursprünglich veranschlagten 11 Mio. USD. Absperrbauwerk Das Absperrbauwerk ist eine Gewichtsstaumauer aus Beton mit einer Höhe von 66 m (217 ft) über der Gründungssohle bzw. 58,5 m (192 ft) über dem Flussbett. Die Länge der Mauerkrone liegt bei 216 m (710 ft). Das Volumen des Bauwerks beträgt 65.000 m³ (85.000 cubic yards). Die Dicke der Staumauer beträgt an der Sohle 26 m (85 ft) und an der Krone 3,65 m (12 ft). Stausee Beim normalen Stauziel von 285 m (935 ft) über dem Meeresspiegel erstreckt sich der Stausee über eine Fläche von rund 0,182 km² (45 Acres). Das minimale Stauziel liegt bei 277 m (910 ft). Kraftwerk Das Kraftwerk befindet sich etwa 3 km flussabwärts von der Talsperre. Die installierte Leistung beträgt 64 MW. Die durchschnittliche Jahreserzeugung liegt bei 345 Mio. kWh. Das Kraftwerk ist im Besitz von Tacoma Power und wird auch von Tacoma Power betrieben. Die ersten 4 Maschinen des Kraftwerks wurden 1912 installiert. Sie leisten jede maximal 6 MW. Eine weitere Maschine mit 40 MW wurde 1945 in Betrieb genommen. Der normale Durchfluss liegt bei 39,6 m³/s (1400 ft³/s). Die Maschinenhalle des Kraftwerks wurde 1995 überflutet, als die Wasserführung des Nisqually den höchsten jemals verzeichneten Stand erreichte. Erst im folgenden Jahr konnte das Kraftwerk nach den notwendigen Reparaturarbeiten wieder in Betrieb gehen. Siehe auch Liste von Talsperren in den Vereinigten Staaten Weblinks Einzelnachweise
LaGrande Dam

LaGrande Dam (or La Grande Dam) is a hydroelectric dam on the Nisqually River, on the border of Pierce County and Thurston County, Washington. LaGrande is the lesser of two coordinated dams on the Nisqually, situated two miles north (downstream) of the other, Alder Dam. Both are owned by Tacoma Power. Hydroelectric power was first produced from LaGrande in November 1912 as the first independent project of Tacoma Power. The present structure was completed in 1945, the same year as Alder Dam's construction. At 192 feet high, the dam impounds about 2,700 acre-feet (3,300,000 m3) of water. Neither LaGrande Dam nor its narrow two-mile-long impoundment, LaGrande Reservoir, is accessible to the public. Hydroelectric power capacity References External links Official website
ГЕС Ла-Гранде

ГЕС Ла-Гранде — гідроелектростанція у штаті Вашингтон (Сполучені Штати Америки). Знаходячись між ГЕС Алдер (вище за течією) та ГЕС Yelm (12 МВт), входить до складу каскаду на річці Ніскуаллі, яка впадає до затоки П'юджет-Саунд (пов'язана з Тихим океаном через протоку Хуан-де-Фука). У 1912 році на річці звели першу греблю, котру в 1945-му замінили новою бетонною гравітаційною спорудою висотою від тальвегу 59 метрів (від підошви фундаменту — 66 метрів), довжиною 216 метрів та товщиною від 4 (по гребеню) до 26 (по основі) метрів, яка потребувала 65 тис. м3 матеріалу. Вона утримує витягнуте по долині Ніскуаллі на 2,4 км водосховище з площею поверхні 0,18 км2 та об'ємом 3,3 млн м3, в якому припустиме коливання рівня в операційному режимі між позначками 277 та 285 метрів НРМ. Гребля спрямовує ресурс до прокладеного у правобережному масиві дериваційного тунелю довжиною 1,95 км з діаметром 4,4 метра, який переходить у напірний водовід діаметром 4,1 метра. У 1912 році станцію ввели в експлуатацію з чотирма турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 6 МВт, а у 1945-му їх доповнили однією турбіною потужністю 40 МВТ. Це обладнання використовує напір від 115 до 127 метрів та забезпечує виробництво 345 млн кВт·год електроенергії на рік. Примітки
ГЕС Лейк-Шелан

ГЕС Лейк-Шелан — гідроелектростанція у штаті Вашингтон (Сполучені Штати Америки). Використовує ресурс із річки Шелан, правої притоки Колумбії (має устя на узбережжі Тихого океану на межі штатів Вашингтон та Орегон). У 1903 році на виході річки із великого природного озера Шелан спорудили першу греблю, призначену для виробітки електроенергії. За два десятиліття проект викупив новий власник, який використав перепад висот між озером та устям річки для спорудження більш потужної гідроенергетичної схеми. Для цього звели нову бетонну гравітаційну греблю висотою 12 метрів та довжиною 149 метрів. Вона регулює рівень у озері, яке витягнулось на 81 км та має об'єм 19,5 млрд м3, з яких 836 млн м3 відносяться до корисного об'єму (коливання рівня поверхні між позначками 329 та 335 метрів НРМ). Зі сховища через правобережний масив проклали дериваційний тунель довжиною 3,5 км, який з'єднаний з надземним вирівнювальним резервуаром висотою 38 метрів. Основне обладнання станції становлять дві турбіни потужністю по 29,6 МВт, котрі використовують напір у 107 метрів. Відпрацьована вода повертається до річки по відвідному каналу довжиною біля 0,5 км, який завершується за сотню метрів вище від устя Шелан. Примітки

Lake Desire

Lake Desire, also called Echo Lake, is an unimproved watershed 5 miles (8.0 km) southeast of Renton, Washington in the United States. It is a small part of the Maple Heights-Lake Desire, Washington area, 45 minutes east of downtown Seattle. According to King County, it has productive water quality, a maximum depth of 21 feet (6.4 m) and a surface area of approximately 80 acres. A public boat launch and fishing dock is located to the north of the lake but does require a vehicle use permit from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. On the southeast border of the lake, a 382-acre (1.55 km2) forested park and wetland area has been allocated by the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP). Recreation Fishing is managed as a mixed species fishery. Active species include pumpkinseed, largemouth bass, yellow perch, black channel catfish and rainbow trout. Mountain biking is allowed around the lake and in the 382-acre (1.55 km2) park. Hiking is popular in the 382-acre (1.55 km2) park that connects Lake Desire and Spring Lake. The park includes part of Cedar Mountain with an 880-foot (270 m) elevation according to the Washington Trails Association.

Town Center at Lake Forest Park

Town Center at Lake Forest Park (formerly Lake Forest Park Towne Centre) is a shopping center that also serves as the community hub for the city of Lake Forest Park, Washington. It is located on the eastern side of Lake Forest Park, on the western shore of Lake Washington in a suburb of Seattle on Bothell Way NE beside City Hall. The southeast side of the center abuts the Burke-Gilman Trail. Town Center at Lake Forest Park is anchored by Third Place Books, Albertson's grocery store, Rite Aid, Ross Dress for Less, and Planet Fitness and features almost 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) of gross leasable area on its 18 acres. Third Place Books, a general interest bookseller, is one of the tenants of the center and serves as a community center for Lake Forest Park hosting free public events and other community activities. The bookstore provides access to print on demand books via the Espresso Book Machine. Each Sunday, starting in May and ending in October, the Third Place Commons Farmers Market is held in the LFPTC parking lot. History The Forest Park Shopping Center opened on October 7, 1964, with 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) of retail space across two levels. Major tenants at that time included Rhodes Brothers, Pay 'n Save, and Albertsons. The shopping center was developed by Farwest Properties, an Olympia-based company, at a cost of $3 million, on 20 acres (8.1 ha) of land at the corner of State Route 522 and State Route 104. Lake Forest Park was an unincorporated community at the time but pursued cityhood in response to the mall's construction to prevent further commercial development. A branch of the King County Library System opened at the mall in 1974 using space leased by the city government. A renovation and expansion was approved by the city government in 1987 with an exemption to the municipal height limit. Construction began the following year but was delayed by three months following the discovery of unexpected issues with the existing structure. It was renamed the Lake Forest Park Towne Center and reopened in September 1989 after it had been expanded to 243,500 square feet (22,620 m2) with 49 stores; Albertsons also announced plans to expand their store. Several vacant retail spaces on the second floor were later replaced by Third Place Books, a bookstore with a food court and community stage that opened in 1998. The mall was acquired by Madison Marquette in July 2006 and later renamed to the Town Center at Lake Forest Park. A smaller renovation was completed in 2011 and included the addition of a Ross Dress for Less and a Planet Fitness. The mall was sold to Merlone Geier Partners in 2014 for $37 million.

The park is popular during the spring and summer, and features numerous picnic areas as well as playgrounds. There are also numerous trails located around the lake and throughout the surrounding forest that are used for hiking and biking. A public golf course is located along the eastern shore. A significant piece of geography besides the lake itself is a 1,000-foot (300 m) ridge that separates the lake from Interstate 5 to the south. References
Lake People Park

Lake People Park is a 1⁄2-acre (0.20 ha) park at 3070 S. Bradford Street in the Columbia City neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, just south of the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. and Rainier Avenue S. In 2003, the land was donated to the Seattle Parks Foundation by Monte Powell, a developer who was responsible for much of the newer construction in the neighborhood. He decided to make the donation after attending a presentation on community-established parks. The property is made up of a flat upper area that drops off into a steep hill slope. Upon its donation, the lot was overgrown with blackberries, ivy, and other invasive plants. Neighbors of the park formed the Friends of Goat Hill and worked in partnership with Seattle Parks Foundation to clear the land and raise sufficient funds for landscaping, footpaths, park benches, boulders for informal seating, picnic tables, and interpretive signage. The completed park was dedicated in spring 2005, and for the three years following, maintenance was overseen by Seattle Parks Foundation. The park was then turned over to Seattle Parks and Recreation for ongoing stewardship. "Lake People" is a calque of the Lushootseed word x̌ačuʔabš, the name of the Indigenous peoples of Lake Washington and Lake Union, today considered a subgroup of the Duwamish. Although they were not historically a unified group, they were united in their lake-oriented lifestyle, and hence, are known as the "Lake People."

Lake Samish

Lake Samish ( SAM-ish) is a lake south of Bellingham, Washington, United States. Visible to the west of Interstate 5 when travelling between Alger and Bellingham, Lake Samish is heavily used for recreation in the summer months by local residents. The lake shoreline is heavily developed and homesites cover almost the entire shoreline. Lake Samish is bordered on the south by Blanchard Mountain and on the north by Chuckanut Pass. Public access is limited but a Whatcom County park with a rough boat launch is located along the northern shore. The state of Washington operates a modern boat launch on the east shore of the lake. In pre-colonial days, members of the Samish tribe lived at sites on the lake. In 1873 the Northern Pacific Railway Company made a preliminary survey through the Lake Samish valley on the way to Bellingham Bay and Hudson's Bay Company trappers had also probably been through the area before that but the first Europeans to settle at Lake Samish were Charlie Barns and William Harris, who staked claims to 160 acres each in March/April 1885, Barns on the east side and Harris on the west side of the lake. In 1931, a new highway connecting Seattle to Vancouver was constructed on the east side of the lake and designated part of U.S. Route 99. This road was later replaced by Interstate 5. Notable residents include Hilary Swank, who grew up on a trailer park next to the lake.
