Bell Street Park

Bell Street Park is a 1.33-acre (0.54 ha) park, created in 2014 in Seattle, Washington's Belltown neighborhood. Situated in a neighborhood described as a former "hot-spot for low-level crime, drug-dealing and civil disorder", and intended in part to reduce crime rates on the street, the property was transferred from the city's transportation department to Parks and Recreation, and it was redeveloped as a woonerf or mixed-use pedestrian/vehicular traffic area without curbs. As a woonerf, the park is described as a "grand experiment" in Seattle, and nearly unique in Washington State. It won a design award from the Seattle Design Commission in 2014. Other woonerven in the Seattle area Seattle Seattle's The Stranger newspaper called it "our first woonerf", and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer called it "downtown's first park boulevard", but some writers say there are others that predated Bell Street Park. According to Seattle University's newspaper, The Commons, the Pike Place and Post Alley area at Pike Place Market is functionally a woonerf, and a woonerf was built at the university's Douglas Building (at the junction of the 12th Avenue and Columbia Street pollinator pathways). Crosscut.com described Occidental Park as a woonerf also. A Seattle Department of Transportation spokesperson said in 2014 that removing curbs at Occidental Park was under consideration. A section of 8th Avenue in the South Lake Union district of Seattle was proposed by Vulcan Inc. in 2015 as a woonerf along the lines of Bell Street Park. Construction on 12th Avenue Square Park, a new park and woonerf on East James Court in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, was completed in February 2016. Eastside The curbless redesign of Park Lane in neighboring Kirkland, Washington, completed in 2015, used the Bell Street Park as a reference in the design and selection process. Criticism The mixed-use area, called by a local magazine an "experimental ped and car mashup" and by another as a "dog's breakfast" of competing design elements, has resulted in traffic rules that have been called "predatory", and a "ticket trap". One newspaper writer critiqued the woonerf concept for not going far enough and "banning cars altogether". References External links Parks Department page on Bell Street Park
Mount Spokane State Park

Der Mount Spokane State Park ist ein Naherholungsgebiet in den Selkirk Mountains, 23 mi (37 km) nordöstlich der Stadt Spokane im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Der State Park liegt rings um den 5.883 ft (1.793 m) hohen Mount Spokane und andere Gipfel wie den Mount Kit Carson, den Beauty Mountain, und den Quartz Mountain. Jährlich fallen 300 in (8 m) Schnee; außer dem Mount Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park gibt es ein ausgedehntes Wegesystem zum Wandern, Radfahren und Reiten. Die Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission gab die Fläche des Parks 2018 mit 12.293 Acres (50 km²) an, was ihn zum größten in Washington macht, knapp vor dem Riverside State Park (11.162 Acres (45 km²)), der 23 mi (37 km) südwestlich liegt. Geschichte Der Park wurde 1927 mit einer Fläche von 1.500 Acres (6 km²) ausgewiesen. Während der 1930er Jahre säten Arbeiter des Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Rasen an, bauten Picknick- und Parkplätze und richteten Wanderwege mit Schutzhütten ein; außerdem wurden Straßen befestigt. Vista House Das Vista House wurde vom Architekten H. C. Bertelsen gestaltet und zur Hausmeister-Unterkunft ausgebaut, obwohl ein früherer Plan für das Vista House vom Park-Architekten Charles Saunders vorlag. Erbaut wurde die Hausmeister-Unterkunft von Elmer Highberg. Einige Quellen geben an, das Vista House sei durch das CCC errichtet worden. Nach dem Cultural Resources Management Plan des Bundesstaates von 2009 gewann jedoch ein ortsansässiger Bauunternehmer namens E. O. Fieldstad die Ausschreibung mit einem „niedrigen Gebot von 4693 USD“ und errichtete das Vista House. Die Publikation führt aus: „Sein Bestand nahe dem Mount-Spokane-Lager des CCC mag dazu beigetragen haben, dass viele annehmen, das Vista House sei vom CCC erbaut worden.“ Tourismus Im Park gibt es 100 mi (161 km) an Wander-, Rad- und Reitwegen. Ihre Einstufung reicht von „leicht“ (für den 3 mi (4,8 km) langen Burping Brook Loop) bis „schwierig“ (für den 13 mi (21 km) langen Round the Mountain Trail). Im Winter sind Skiabfahrten und Querfeldein-Skiwandern möglich, außerdem Schneemobil-Fahren und Schneeschuh-Laufen. Camping- und Picknickplätze sind gleichfalls verfügbar.

Mount Spokane State Park

Mount Spokane State Park is a public recreation area in the Northwestern United States, located in the Selkirk Mountains, 23 miles (37 km) northeast of the city of Spokane, Washington. The state park surrounds 5,883-foot (1,793 m) Mount Spokane and other peaks including Mount Kit Carson, Beauty Mountain, and Quartz Mountain. The park receives 300 inches (25 ft; 7.6 m) of snow annually and is home to Mount Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park as well as an extensive system of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. As of 2025, Washington State Parks reported its acreage as 12,444 acres (19.4 mi2; 50.4 km2), making it Washington's largest state park, well ahead of Riverside State Park (9,194 acres (14.4 mi2; 37.2 km2)) which lies 23 miles to the southwest. History The park was dedicated with 1500 acres in 1927. During the 1930s, workers with the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) planted grass, constructed picnicking and parking areas, constructed trails and shelters, and improved roads. Vista House Vista House was designed by architect, H. C. Bertelsen, as was the caretaker's cabin, although an earlier design for Vista House had been prepared by state park architect Charles Saunders. The caretaker's cabin was built by Elmer Highberg. Some sources state that Vista House was built by the CCC. However, according to the State of Washington's Cultural Resources Management Plan (2009), a local contractor, E.O. Fieldstad, won the contract with a "low bid of $4,693," and built Vista House. The publication states: "Its existence near the site of the Mount Spokane CCC camp may have contributed to the present impression held by many that the Vista House was constructed by the CCC." Timeline Activities and amenities The park has 100 miles (160 km) of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Trails range from easy (the 3-mile (4.8 km) Burping Brook Loop) to difficult (the 13-mile (21 km) ‘Round the Mountain Trail). Winter activities include downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. Camping and picnicking are also available. Bald Knob campground is generally open from May to September. There are 7 primary trail-heads to park at from Bear Creek Lodge right before the entrance of the park to the summit parking and vista house. During the winter a Sno-park permit is required at both the Lower Selkirk Sno-Park Parking Lot and the Upper Selkirk Lodge Sno-Park Parking Lot.

Flower Island (San Juan Islands)

Flower Island is one of the San Juan Islands in San Juan County, Washington, USA. The uninhabited, rocky island has a land area of 4.6 acres (1.9 hectares) and is almost completely devoid of vegetation. Located off the coast from Spencer Spit State Park, it is a popular nesting location for gulls. Flower Island was occupied for two summers in the 1930s by Floyd and Ruth Schmoe and their children while Floyd Schmoe was studying at the Friday Harbor Laboratories. Because the island was not, at the time, listed on tax rolls, the Schmoes were able to claim squatters' rights. Currently, Flower Island is part of the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge and is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. As with almost all of the islands in the refuge, human access is prohibited and boats may not approach to within 200 yards (180 m). References

ГЕС Сноквалмі-Фоллз

ГЕС Сноквалмі-Фоллз — гідроелектростанція у штаті Вашингтон (Сполучені Штати Америки). Використовує ресурс із річки Snoqualmie, лівої притоки Skykomish, яка у місті Еверетт впадає до затоки П'юджет-Саунд (пов’язана з Тихим океаном через протоку Хуан-де-Фука). Гідроенергетичну схему облаштували для використання перепаду висот на водоспаді Snoqualmie Falls. Для цього дещо вище від нього у руслі спорудили бетонну греблю висотою 5,5 метра, котра в період повноводдя опиняється під водою, а під час посухи забезпечує захоплення всього стоку для його спрямування у розташований вище водозабір. Від останнього ресурс через шахту діаметром 2,3 метра потрапляє до розташованого на глибині 79 метрів машинного залу розмірами 61х12 метрів та висотою 9 метрів. В 1899 році його обладнали чотирма турбінами типу Пелтон потужністю по 1,5 МВт, а у 1905-му спорудили другу шахту такого ж діаметру та встановили одну турбіну типу Френсіс потужністю 5 МВт. За кілька років по тому, у 1910-му, став до лад другий машинний зал, споруджений під лівобережним масивом дещо нижче від водоспаду. Спершу тут ввели в експлуатацію одну турбіну типу Френсіс потужністю 9 МВт, до якої в 1957 році додали другий гідроагрегат з турбіною того ж типу та показником 26,5 МВт. Ресурс для їх роботи подається по тунелю довжиною 0,37 км з діаметром 3,7 метра. На початку 2010-х провели модернізацію станції, яка зокрема включала заміну двох турбін – №5 у першому машинному залі на пристрій з показником 6,5 МВт та №1 у другому залі на турбіну потужністю 13,7 МВт. Ще раніше потужність кожної з турбін типу Пелтон довели до 1,8 МВт, так що загальний показник станції наразі складає 54 МВт. Також в межах модернізації зменшили висоту греблі до 4,9 метра. Гідроагрегати використовують напір у 82,3 метра. Примітки
Sylvan Grove Theater and Columns

The Sylvan Grove Theater and Columns, also known as the Sylvan Grove Theater or simply the Sylvan Theater, is a sylvan theater located on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, Washington. Within the theater are four 24 foot (7.3 m) tall Ionic columns from the original University building downtown, constructed in 1861. They are some of the oldest-standing architectural pieces in Seattle. It has been called "one of the most beautiful places on campus." The columns were named "Loyalty", "Industry", "Faith", and "Efficiency" (LIFE) by University Comptroller Herbert T. Condon and Edmond S. Meany, head of the History Department. History The original University of Washington building in downtown Seattle officially opened on September 16, 1861. It had a portico with four Ionic columns made of hand-fluted cedar. In 1908, as the building was about to be demolished, Edmond S. Meany saved the columns, intending that they should be used in the construction of the new campus. From 1911 through 1920, the columns stood in the Quad, near Savery, Denny, and Raitt Halls. Eventually it became clear that the Greek columns could not be integrated into the University design plan, which specified Gothic architecture for the buildings on upper campus. A student design competition was organized and was won by a sophomore, Marshall W. Gill, the son of Seattle Mayor Hiram Gill. In 1921, the columns were moved to their current location in Sylvan Grove. They are maintained by the university's Facility Services, which last repaired them in 2008. The site has received attention from paranormal investigators. References Further reading Johnston, Norman J. (2004).

Sylvan Grove Színház és Oszlopcsarnok

A Sylvan Grove Színház és Oszlopcsarnok a Washingtoni Egyetem seattle-i campusán működő szabadtéri színház. Területén megtalálhatóak az egyetem korábbi, 1861-ben épült campusán emelt, 7,3 méter magas ión oszlopok (Hűség, Ipar, Hit, Hatékonyság; angolul Loyalty, Industry, Faith és Efficiency; rövidítésük „LIFE”, angolul „élet”). A területhez többen paranormális jelenségeket társítanak. Története 1908-ban az egyetem korábbi kampuszának lebontása mellett döntöttek. Edmond S. Meany botanikaprofesszor javasolta, hogy az ión oszlopokat helyezzék át az új intézményhez; ezek 1911 és 1920 között a Denny épület közelében voltak, azonban a vezetőség tájidegennek ítélte őket. Az oszlopok 1921-ben kerültek jelenlegi helyükre; fenntartásuk az egyetem üzemeltetési osztályának feladata.

Národní historický park San Juan Island

Národní historický park San Juan Island se nachází na ostrově svatého Jana v americkém státě Washington a skládá se z tábořišť americké a britské armády z tzv. Prasečí války. Oba tábory byly založeny roku 1859 jako odpověď na spor o hranicích, který vyvolalo zabití prasete. Tábory byly používány celých dvanáct let, dokud nebyla podepsána Washingtonská dohoda. Zatímco Britové tábor opustili v listopadu 1872, Američané až v červenci 1874. V roce 1961 se památka stala národní historickou památkou a v roce 1966 se dostala na národní rejstřík historických míst. Park je rozdělen na dvě části – na americký tábor a britský tábor. Britský tábor je jedinou částí všech amerických národních parků, která připomíná britskou armádu, a zároveň jedinou, kde vlaje britská vlajka.

San Juan Island National Historical Park

Der San Juan Island National Historical Park (alternative Bezeichnung: American and English Camps, San Juan Island) ist ein National Historic Site in der Nähe von Friday Harbor auf San Juan Island, Washington (state), Vereinigte Staaten. Der ehemalige Militärstützpunkt, heute an der Grenze zwischen Kanada und den Vereinigten Staaten, wurde im Jahr 1859 auf Reaktion auf den Schweinekonflikt (Grenzdisput zwischen dem Washington-Territorium (USA) und British Columbia (Königreich Großbritannien)) errichtet und bis zum Friedensschluss ca. zwölf Jahre später betrieben. Am 5. November 1961 erhielt das Gelände den Status eines National Historic Landmarks. Am 15. Oktober 1966 wurde es als Historic District in das National Register of Historic Places eingetragen. Sämtliche Gebäude und Anlagen werden vom National Park Service betrieben, der auch Eigentümer der Immobilien und Grundstücke ist. Eine Seltenheit ist das tägliche Hissen der britischen Flagge durch eine US-amerikanische Bundesbehörde. Weblinks Offizielle Website Einzelnachweise und Anmerkungen
San Juan Island National Historical Park

San Juan Island National Historical Park of American and English Camps, San Juan Island is een Amerikaans nationaal park op San Juan Island in Washington aangelegd op de plaats waar het Britse leger en het Amerikaanse leger kampen hadden tijdens de Pig War. Beide kampen werden opgezet in 1859 als een reactie op een grensgeschil aangewakkerd door de dood van een varken. De kampen werden 12 jaar gebruikt tot het Verdrag van Washington (1871) werd ondertekend dat dankzij de Duitse Keizer Wilhelm I tot stand was gekomen. De Britten verlieten hun kamp in november 1872, terwijl het Amerikaanse kamp in juli 1874 werd ontmanteld. De plaats werd een National Historic Landmark in 1961 en in 1966 opgenomen in het National Register of Historic Places.

Paradise Lake (Washington)

Der Paradise Lake ist ein kleiner Süßwasser-See im Norden des King County im US-Bundesstaat Washington, etwa zwei Meilen (3,2 Kilometer) östlich von Woodinville. Der See besitzt keinen öffentlichen Zugang für das Wassern von Booten. Er entwässert in den Bear Creek, welcher bei Redmond in den Sammamish River mündet. Das Einzugsgebiet des Sees wird mit 979 Hektar angegeben. Zu den im See vorkommenden Fischarten gehören Cutthroat-Forelle, Regenbogenforelle, und Rotlachs, außerdem Steinbarsch, Gemeiner Sonnenbarsch, Glasaugenbarsch, Forellenbarsch, Schwarzbarsch, Hecht und Amerikanischer Flussbarsch. Eine Angelerlaubnis ist erforderlich. Der See wurde früher genutzt, um nicht-heimische Ochsenfrösche (Rana catesbeiana) für Restaurants zu züchten; eine große Population der Ochsenfrösche lebt immer noch im See. Im See lebt auch eine sehr seltene Schnecken-Art (Valvata mergella), die 1941 von W. J. Eyerdam, 1958 von B. R. Bales und 1995 von T. J. Frest und E. J. Johannes gesammelt wurde. Die Wasserqualität im See wurde vom King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks 2003 als eutroph klassifiziert. Das Wasser wurde von 1996 bis 2008 von Freiwilligen beobachtet. Danach schwankte die Wassertemperatur zwischen 4 °C und 22 °C und die Temperaturschichtung im Sommer war stabil. Zwei signifikante Peaks der Algen-Population wurden Ende Mai und Ende September entdeckt, die überwiegend von Dinobryon und anderen Goldalgen verursacht wurden. Weitere beobachtete Arten gehörten zu den Cryptophyceae und den Diatomeen (insbesondere Asterionella formosa). Der Phosphat-Gehalt des Wassers war in den tieferen Bereichen aufgrund der Rücklösung aus dem Sediment signifikant höher als in den weniger tiefen Bereichen. Einzelnachweise
Paradise Lake (Washington)

Paradise Lake is a small freshwater lake in the north of King County, Washington, USA, located two miles east of Woodinville. The lake has no public access boat launch. It feeds into Bear Creek, which flows towards the Sammamish River at Redmond. Fish in the lake include cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and sockeye salmon as well as rock bass, pumpkinseed, walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. A fishing license is required. The lake was formerly used to raise non-native bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) for the restaurant industry, and a high population of bullfrogs remains. The lake is also home to a very rare species of mollusk, Valvata mergella, collected by W. J. Eyerdam in 1941, B. R. Bales in 1958, and T. J. Frest and E. J. Johannes in 1995. Water quality in the lake was classified as eutrophic by the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks in 2003. The water was monitored by volunteers between 1996 and 2008. The water temperature was found to vary between 4 °C and 22 °C and thermal stratification during the summer was found to be stable. Two significant peaks in the algae population were detected, predominantly Dinobryon and other chrysophytes, in late May and in late September. Other species detected include several cryptophyte species and the diatom Asterionella formosa. Phosphorus content was found to be significantly higher in the depths through sedimentary release.

Sinking Ship

The Sinking Ship is a multi-story parking garage in Pioneer Square, Seattle, United States, bound by James Street to the north, Yesler Way to the south, and 2nd Avenue to the east, and just steps away from the Pioneer Building on the site of the former Occidental Hotels and Seattle Hotel. After the Seattle Hotel was demolished in 1961, the Sinking Ship was built as part of a neighborhood redesign. It was designed by Gilbert H. Mandeville (engineer) and Gudmund B. Berge (architect) of the Seattle firm Mandeville and Berge, and built in 1965. They also designed the Logan Building and an addition to the First Presbyterian Church downtown, the Ballard branch of Seattle Public Library, and two buildings at the Seattle World's Fair in 1962 (the Alaska Building and the Transportation 21 Building). A writer for HistoryLink described the Sinking Ship as "that skid road parking garage whose nihilistic construction depresses the flatiron block where James Street and Yesler Way meet at Pioneer Square." It is owned by the Kubota–Fujii family, who had acquired the Seattle Hotel in 1941. Doris Kubota, from the same family, called the garage the "ugliest building in all of Seattle". It was also used during the 2001 Mardi Gras riot as a staging area for police and city officials. The Seattle Monorail Project proposed a monorail station at the site of the Sinking Ship, which it hoped to acquire through condemnation. The Kubota family disputed the condemnation lawsuit, stating their intention to build housing and retail at the site. In 2019, the parking lot was named the "coolest parking lot" in the United States by the design publication Architizer and London-based Looking4.com. As of 2022, the garage is managed by Diamond Parking. References External links Audio history of Sinking Ship from Washington State Department of Transportation
