Lewis and Clark State Park (Washington)

Lewis and Clark State Park is a public recreation area located six miles (9.7 km) northeast of Winlock and immediately south of Mary's Corner in Lewis County, Washington. Named after the explorers Lewis and Clark, despite the expedition not venturing in the area during their travels, the state park occupies one of the last major stands of old-growth forest in the state. When the park opened in the 1920s it was visited by over 10,000 people per year. History Lewis and Clark State Park began in May 1922 after the state park board announced a 520-acre (210 ha) park to be located on Lacamas Hill approximately 12 miles (19 km) south of Chehalis on the Pacific Highway. Commissioner of Public Lands, Clark Savidge, reserved the old-growth parcel, believing that the natural forested landscape and its connection as a state resource would be appreciated by automobile travelers. The lands originally contained a northern spur of the Oregon Trail. The park was dedicated on September 23, 1922 during a ceremony that included Washington state governor Louis F. Hart. At the time considered the largest state park in Washington, the grounds contained the largest tract of old-growth forest in a Washington state park. Under a resolution passed by the state legislature in 1921, the park is required to remain as a natural wooded area. Annual visitors numbers reached 10,000 during the early years of the park. By 2005, natural gas was reported to be stored in caverns located under the park as part of the Jackson Prairie Underground Natural Gas Storage Facility. Amenities and features The park's 616 acres (249 ha) include camping areas and trails for hiking and horseback riding. Trails within the parcel border on a zone showing the forest rebounding from damage due to the Columbus Day Storm of 1962. Evidence of the efforts by the Civilian Conservation Corps to improve the park in the 1930s can be found in the park's rustic shelters and restroom facilities. Remnants of the Cowlitz Trail are visible in the park, noted by deep grooves caused by wagons and settlers traveling the route. See also Jackson House State Park Heritage Site Matilda N.

Lime Kiln Light

The Lime Kiln Light is a functioning navigational aid located on Lime Kiln Point overlooking Dead Man's Bay on the western side of San Juan Island, San Juan County, Washington, in the United States. It guides ships through the Haro Straits and is part of Lime Kiln Point State Park, which offers tours during summer months. History The Lime Kiln Light was established in 1914 when acetylene lights were placed on Lime Kiln Point, a name derived from the lime kilns built there in the 1860s. It was the last major light established in Washington. The light was updated five years later with a 38-foot (12 m) octagonal concrete tower rising from the fog signal building, a design that matches the Alki Point Light in Seattle. Two keeper's houses and other structures also date from around this time. A fourth-order Fresnel lens was first exhibited from the new tower on June 30, 1919. The Coast Guard automated the Lime Kiln Lighthouse in August 1962, using photoelectric cells to turn the light on at dusk and off during daylight hours. In 1998, the drum lens was replaced with a modern optic, flashing a white light once every 10 seconds. Sitting on the rocky shoreline at a height of 55 feet (17 m), the beacon is visible for 15 nautical miles; 27 kilometres (17 mi).

Phare de Lime Kiln

Le phare de Lime Kiln est un phare situé sur San Juan Island, la plus grande des îles de San Juan (Comté de San Juan), dans l'État de Washington aux (États-Unis). Ce phare est géré par la Garde côtière américaine, et les phares de l'État de Washington sont entretenues par le District 13 de la Garde côtière basé à Seattle. Ce phare fait partie du Lime Kiln Point State Park (en), un parc d'État. Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le 14 décembre 1978 . Histoire Une première lumière fonctionnant à l'acétylène avait été installée sur un four à chaux ( Lime Kiln (en)) de 1860. Ce fut la première lumière établie dans l'État de Washington en 1914. Cinq ans plus tard, en 1919, une maison-phare a été construite. Cette station de signalisation guide la navigation dans le détroit de Haro, depuis le côté ouest de l'île. Elle marque le passage entre l'île de Vancouver (Canada) et San Juan Island. Le phare est la propriété de l'US Coast Guard et géré le Lime Kiln Point State Park . Description Le phare de Lime Kiln est une tour octogonale, avec galerie et lanterne cylindrique de 12 m de haut, s'élevant d'un bâtiment d'un étage contenant la corne de brume. Le phare est peint en blanc, la lanterne est grise. Ce phare est de même conception que le phare d'Alki Point à Seattle. Deux maisons de gardiens et d'autres bâtiments datent aussi de cette époque. La lanterne a été équipée d'une lentille de Fresnel de 4e ordre qui a fonctionné pour la première fois le 30 juin 1919. Le phare a été automatisé en août 1962, en utilisant des cellules photoélectriques. En 1998, la lentille de Fresnel a été remplacée par une optique moderne, clignotant une fois toutes les 10 secondes. Cette lumière émet, à une hauteur focale de 16 m, un flash blanc toutes les 10 secondes. Sa portée nominale est de 17 milles nautiques (environ 31 km). Une corne de brume est toujours en activité (1 blast/30 secondes).

Маяк Лайм-Килн

Маяк Лайм-Килн (англ. Lime Kiln Light) — маяк, расположенный в западной части острова Сан-Хуан, округ Сан-Хуан, штат Вашингтон, США. Построен в 1919 году. Автоматизирован в 1962 году. Название Название маяк (англ. lime kiln — печь для обжига извести) происходит от печей для обжига извести, которые были построены на острове в 1860-х годах, к северу от маяка. Одна из этих печей впоследствии была отреставрирована и в настоящее время служит музеем. История В конце XIX ― начале XX века судоходство через пролив Аро было достаточно оживлённым, и 22 октября 1913 года Конгресс США выделил 30 000$ на улучшение навигации в проливе Пьюджет-Саунд и смежных водных путях. Из этих средств было профинансировано строительство фонаря на месте маяка Лайм-Килн, улучшение станции Марроустоун-Пойнт, а также был перестроен маяк Слип-Пойнт. Однако построенный фонарь был недостаточно ярким, также была потребность в противотуманном сигнале, потому 6 июля 1916 года было выделено еще 40 000$ на строительство полноценного маяка Лайм-Килн. Строительство началось в августе 1918 года и завершилось 30 июня 1919 года. Маяк представлял собой восьмиугольную бетонную башню высотой 12 метров, к которой примыкало здание с противотуманным сигналом. На маяке была установлена линза Френеля четвёртого поколения. Маяк был построен по тому же проекту, что и маяки Алки-Пойнт и Пойнт-Робинсон. Для смотрителя и помощника были построены также из бетона два дома с шестью комнатами. В 1962 году Береговая охрана США автоматизировала маяк. В 1998 году линза Френеля была заменена на современную оптику. 14 декабря 1978 года маяк был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест.

Lime Kiln Point State Park

Lime Kiln Point State Park is a 42-acre Washington state park on the western shore of San Juan Island in the San Juan archipelago. The park is considered one of the best places in the world to view wild orcas from a land-based facility. Due to the unique bathymetric properties of the site, visitors on the shore can be within 20 feet of whales jumping out of the water (breaching and spyhopping). It houses one of Friday Harbor's two lighthouses along with a stone lookout with picnic tables. The park was the site of lime kilns beginning in 1860, and one kiln has been restored as a public exhibit. Activities and amenities The park provides opportunities for picnicking, hiking, beachcombing, orca watching, and tours of the still operational Lime Kiln Light. An interpretive center has displays and activities about orcas and the area's former lime kiln industry. The park is supported in part by the Friends of Lime Kiln. Volunteers and marine naturalists are often onsite to assist and educate visitors.

Lincoln Square (Bellevue)

Lincoln Square is a mixed-use urban development in Bellevue, Washington, owned by prominent local developer Kemper Freeman. Lincoln Square, located along Bellevue Way between NE 6th and NE 8th streets, consists of two skyscrapers with retail and restaurant space, and a movie theater; and a 148-room residential tower and 337-room luxury hotel (One Lincoln Tower); and underground parking. The development constitutes part of "The Bellevue Collection", which consists of Freeman's properties in downtown Bellevue alongside Bellevue Place and Bellevue Square. The office tower is leased to Eddie Bauer's corporate headquarters; the hotel is occupied by Westin Hotels & Resorts. The project was originally conceived in the late 1990s by Westbank Projects, a Canadian firm, and Lendlease of Australia. The 27-story office building was to be occupied by Drugstore.com while a separate 42-story building would have a Westin hotel and condominiums. Following the dot-com bubble, Drugstore.com backed out of its lease agreement and other tenants were unable to commit to their previous terms. Opus Northwest won an auction for the project rights, but later sold their stake to Kemper Freeman in 2003 for $40 million. The first phase was completed in November 2005 with Eddie Bauer and Microsoft as office tenants. A $1.2 billion expansion, consisting of two mixed-use towers, was announced in 2013 and began construction in 2014; the project, known as Lincoln Square South, was completed in January 2017 alongside an expansion of the Bellevue Square mall. Video game developer and distributor Valve moved their headquarters to Lincoln Square in 2016, replacing another Bellevue building. In 2023, Microsoft declined to renew their 20-floor lease in the north tower and vacated most of its offices, with the exception of two floors for subsidiary LinkedIn.

Kraftwerk Little Goose

Das Kraftwerk Little Goose (englisch Little Goose Lock and Dam) ist ein Laufwasserkraftwerk im Bundesstaat Washington, USA. Es ist das 15. Kraftwerk in der Kette von insgesamt 17 Wasserkraftwerken am Snake River, einem linken Nebenfluss des Columbia Rivers. Der Snake River bildet an dieser Stelle die Grenze zwischen dem Columbia und dem Whitman County. Mit den Bauarbeiten wurde im Juni 1963 begonnen. Das Kraftwerk ging im März 1970 in Betrieb. Es wurde durch das United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) errichtet und wird auch vom USACE betrieben. Grundlage für die Errichtung des Kraftwerks war der River and Harbor Act von 1945. Absperrbauwerk Das Absperrbauwerk ist eine Gewichtsstaumauer aus Beton mit einer Höhe von ungefähr 30 m (100 ft), an die sich ein Erdschüttdamm auf der rechten Flussseite anschließt. Die Schleuse liegt auf der äußersten linken Seite, gefolgt von einem Maschinenhaus sowie einer Wehranlage mit acht Wehrfeldern in der Mitte. Die Mauerkrone liegt auf einer Höhe von 198 m ü. d. M. (651 ft). Die Gesamtlänge einschließlich des Erdschüttdamms beträgt 809 m (2.655 ft). Davon entfallen 200 m (656 ft) auf das Maschinenhaus, 156 m (512 ft) auf die Wehranlage und 100 m (328 ft) auf die Schleuse. Über die Wehranlage können maximal 24.000 m³/s (850.000 ft³/s) abgeleitet werden. Stausee Beim normalen Stauziel von 194,4 m (638 ft) erstreckt sich der Lake Bryan über eine Fläche von rund 40,57 km² (10.025 Acres) und über eine Länge von ca. 60 km (37,2 Meilen). Das minimale Stauziel liegt bei 193 m (633 ft), das maximale bei 197 m (646,5 ft). Kraftwerk Das Kraftwerk Little Goose verfügt über eine installierte Leistung von 810 MW. Als maximal mögliche Leistung (engl. overload capacity) werden 932 MW angegeben, die allerdings nur für einige Stunden erzeugt werden können. 2011 wurden 2,9 Mrd. kWh erzeugt. Die ersten drei Maschinen wurden 1970 in Betrieb genommen. Drei weitere Maschinen wurden bis 1978 installiert. Die sechs Kaplan-Turbinen leisten jeweils maximal 135 MW und die zugehörigen Generatoren 142 MVA. Die Nenndrehzahl der Turbinen liegt bei 90/min. Der maximale Durchfluss liegt bei 3700 m³/s (130.000 ft³/s). Der erzeugte Strom wird durch die Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) vermarktet. Die BPA setzt die vier untersten Kraftwerke am Snake River als Spitzenlastkraftwerke ein, um insbesondere die schwankende Stromerzeugung aus Windparks auszugleichen. Schleuse Auf der linken Seite der Staumauer befindet sich eine Schleuse mit einer Länge von 204 m (668 ft) und einer Breite von 26 m (86 ft). Sonstiges Es ist eine Fischtreppe vorhanden.
