Westin Building

The Westin Building Exchange is a major telecommunications hub facility located downtown Seattle, Washington. The building was constructed in 1981 as the Westin Building, housing the corporate offices of Westin Hotels, which was then based in Seattle. It is also home to the Seattle Internet Exchange (SIX) and Pacific Northwest Gigapop's Pacific Wave Exchange. The facility has a pair of "Meet-me Rooms" on the 19th floor, which are used by telecommunication carriers and internet service providers to cross-connect their individual networks. These carriers situate their POPs within racks spread throughout the building, connecting back to the meet-me room via optical fiber cabling, facilitating interconnection with other carriers' infrastructure within the building. The Westin Building's meet-me room is the heart of the facility, where buyers and sellers of broadband services offer interconnectivity to their backbones and diverse services without the need to utilize telephone company provided interconnections. As of 2019 or earlier, heat generated from the data centers in this building is piped over to Amazon's Doppler building and used to heat Doppler and several other Amazon buildings. While backup boilers are installed, they are rarely used, and Amazon estimates over the 25 year expected lifespan of the system it will save 80 million kilowatt hours of electricity, equivalent to 65 million pounds of coal, though over 80% of electricity in Seattle comes from hydropower. In 2020, real estate investment trust Digital Realty acquired a majority stake in the building and assumed management responsibilities.

Westin Seattle

The Westin Seattle is an upscale highrise twin-tower hotel in downtown Seattle, Washington. Opened in 1969, it is the flagship property of the Westin Hotels & Resorts brand, owned by Marriott International. History On December 28, 1966, Western International Hotels and Alcoa jointly announced the development of the $18 million Washington Plaza Hotel, to be built on the site of the historic Orpheum Theatre. It would be the first new large-scale hotel constructed in Seattle since the adjacent Benjamin Franklin Hotel was built in 1929. Western International President Edward E. Carlson selected the local architecture firm of John Graham & Associates to design the hotel, and the local Howard S. Wright Construction Company to build it. The two firms had also designed and constructed the Space Needle six years earlier, whose construction was first proposed by Carlson and whose restaurant was operated by Western International from 1962–1982. The Orpheum Theatre was demolished beginning in August 1967. The hotel originally consisted of a single 40 story tower, today's south tower, reaching a height of 121 m (397 ft). The tower was topped out in January 1969 and the hotel opened on June 29, 1969. Western International Hotels operated the Washington Plaza as one property with the now-connected Benjamin Franklin Hotel. Together, the hotel complex had 715 rooms. The aging Benjamin Franklin wing was demolished in July 1980 for construction of a second, nearly identical tower. While work on the second tower went on, the company was renamed Westin Hotels. The Washington Plaza was the first property in the chain to be renamed, becoming The Westin Hotel on September 1, 1981. That same year, Westin opened a new corporate headquarters directly across the street in the Westin Building, which shared a parking garage with the hotel. The 137 m (449 ft), 47-story north tower opened in June 1982 and was the tallest hotel in the city until 2018 when the Hyatt Regency opened. In 1997, alternative rock band Modest Mouse released an album which featured the towers on the cover. The Westin Seattle is the flagship property of Marriott’s premium upscale Westin brand of hotels and resorts. References External links Official website

White Chuck Glacier

White Chuck Glacier is located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness in the U.S. state of Washington and is 3.5 mi (5.6 km) south of Glacier Peak. The glacier is within Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and nearly touches the White River Glacier though they are separated by an arête off the Kololo Peaks. White Chuck Glacier has retreated significantly since the end of the Little Ice Age. From about 1850 to 1930, the glacier thinned and by 1940, a fast rate of retreat commenced. By 1955, the glacier had three separate termini and by 2005, the northern terminus was gone. Several small proglacial lakes have been left behind by the retreating glacier. Between 1958 and 2005 White Chuck Glacier lost more than half its surface area. See also List of glaciers in the United States References
White River Amphitheatre

White River Amphitheatre is a Live Nation–managed concert venue, located 8 miles (13 km) east of Auburn, Washington, and 7 miles (11 km) west of Enumclaw, Washington, on the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation. It is 22 miles (35 km) northeast of Tacoma and 36 miles (58 km) southeast of Seattle. The capacity is 16,000, with 9,000 covered seats. Completed in 2003, the 98-acre (40 ha) project cost more than $30 million and hosts musical events under an acoustically treated metal roof; it features two 30-by-40-foot (9x12 m) video screens on either side of the stage. History White River Amphitheater opened on June 14, 2003. Hometown stars Heart were the opening act. Although ground had been broken eight years earlier, the project was delayed due to the environmental impact statement and traffic concerns. The Army Corps of Engineers signed off on construction in September 2002. In February 2003, the Washington State Department of Transportation "issued a permit allowing access from crowded, two-lane state Route 164." When it opened, the venue was operated by the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Clear Channel Entertainment and Bill Graham Presents. Today it is operated by Live Nation; they reduced capacity from 20,000 to 16,000 in 2015. To mitigate traffic, the venue used to offer shuttles to and from the Auburn Super Mall, which was renamed The Outlet Collection Seattle for some concerts. As of 2025 shuttles are no longer offered for any concert according to the FAQ. Notable concerts Jimmy Buffett released a CD of his September 16, 2003, performance, called Live in Auburn, WA. Heavy metal band Iron Maiden has also performed here on their last few tours including Eddie Rips Up The World Tour, The Somewhere Back In Time World Tour, and The Final Frontier World Tour. During the show on June 22, 2010, Frontman Bruce Dickinson stated that the pit was the only one at 100% capacity on the tour so far. Iron Maiden performed here during their Maiden England World Tour on July 30, 2012. Sting performed during his “Symphonicities” Tour on June 6, 2010, along with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Rancid performed on September 2, 2011. AJR performed at the amphitheatre on June 14, 2022, on their tour supporting their album "OK Orchestra". The amphitheatre has played host to music festivals, including Crüe Fest and Crüe Fest 2, Farm Aid, The Gigantour, The Mayhem Festival, Projekt Revolution, Ozzfest, and The Uproar Festival. Since 2010, the KISW “Pain in the Grass” festival has been held here. The venue hosted the Vans Warped Tour for five years straight, from 2012 and through 2016.

Whitworth Egyetem

A Whitworth Egyetem az USA Washington államának Spokane városában működő evangélikus magánegyetem. Az 1890-ben alapított intézmény ideiglenes rektora Scott McQuilkin. Története George F. Whitworth 1893-ban alapította meg a sumneri akadémiát, amely Whitworth Főiskola néven 1899-ben Tacomába költözött. A rivális intézmények, valamint a város és az egyház támogatásának hiányában az intézmény pénzügyi nehézségekkel küzdött, így 1914 szeptemberében a spokane-i presbitérium és Jay P. Graves vasútmágnás ajánlatát elfogadva székhelyét Spokane-be helyezték át; a költségeket a Spokane lakossága és a washingtoni zsinat általi adományokból fedezték. 1942-ben az anyagi problémákkal küzdő Spokane-i Junior Főiskola a Whitworth Főiskolába olvadt. Az intézmény egyetemmé alakulásáról 2006-ban döntöttek, amely 2007. július 1-jén lépett életbe. Kampusz A 0,81 km2-es campus Spokane északi részén található; jelentős részét fák és zöldterületek foglalják el. A belvárosban 2009-ben további létesítmények nyíltak. 2010 óta minden újonnan átadott egyetemi épület rendelkezik a fenntarthatóságot díjazó LEED minősítéssel. A Robinson épület a természettudományos létesítmények bővítésének első fázisaként 2011-ben nyílt meg. Az új egészségtudományi épület kivitelezése miatt 2020-ban több szervezeti egységet is áthelyeztek. 13 millió dollárból atlétikai centrum épült. A vallástudományi központot 2018-ban, a Megan E. Thompson uszodát 2019-ben adták át. Sport Az egyetem sportegyesülete a Whitworth Pirates, amely a Northwest Conference tagjaként a National Collegiate Athletic Association III-as divíziójában játszik. Az egyesületnek atlétikai, golf-, tenisz-, lacrosse- és softball-, amerikaifutball-, kosárlabda- és baseballcsapatai is vannak. Az amerikaifutball-mérkőzések helyszíne a campuson fekvő Pine Bowl stadion. Hallgatói élet A hallgatói életért felelős Associated Students of Whitworth University kollégiumi és programfelelősöket is választ, akik szavazati joggal is rendelkeznek. A szervezetnek négy vezető tisztségviselője (elnök, ügyvivő alelnök, gazdasági alelnök és kommunikációs igazgató) van. Média A hallgatói önkormányzat által üzemeltetett Whitworth.fm online rádió zenéket, talk show-kat és egyetemi sporthíreket sugároz. A The Whitworthian hetilap több díjat is nyert (ilyen például a Hivatásos Újságírók Társasága által adható „Nem naponta megjelenő hallgatói lap”). A Natsihi című évkönyv 1914 óta jelenik meg.

Woodland Park Zoo

Der Woodland Park Zoo ist der Zoo der Stadt Seattle und befindet sich im US-Bundesstaat Washington in den Vereinigten Staaten. Er ist Mitglied der Association of Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA). Geschichte Der gebürtige Engländer Guy Phinney schuf Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts auf seinem Anwesen im Woodland Park an den Ufern des Green Lake einen traditionellen englischen Park, zu dem gemäß der damaligen aristokratischen Tradition auch ein Hirschpark gehörte. Nachdem die Stadt das Gelände mit den Tieren erworben hatte, wurde es als Zoo nach und nach erweitert und ausgebaut. 2002 übertrug die City of Seattle, vertreten durch das Department of Parks and Recreation, die Verwaltung an die Woodland Park Zoological Society. Tierbestand Im Woodland Park Zoo werden im Durchschnitt 900 Tiere in bis zu 250 Arten aus allen Kontinenten gehalten. Die Tiere werden zuweilen in gemeinsamen Freianlagen, wie sie auch ihren natürlichen Lebensräumen entsprechen, gezeigt. Unter anderem werden folgende Säugetierarten präsentiert: Anlagenbereiche Der Woodland Park Zoo unterteilt die meisten seiner Anlagen nach geographischen Gesichtspunkten. Die Hauptabteilungen sind: Tropical Asia, The African, Australasia, The Living Northwest, Tropical Rainforest, Temperate Forest und The penguin exhibit. Vogelarten werden im Zoo überwiegend in Volieren gehalten, die den geographischen Sektionen angegliedert sind. Die folgende Bildauswahl zeigt dazu einige Beispiele: Im Woodland Park Zoo befindet sich auch ein Butterfly Garden genannter Schmetterlingszoo. In einer großen Freiflughalle, die mit vielen tropischen Pflanzen, im Besonderen mit blütenreichem Buschwerk besetzt ist, werden Schmetterlinge und deren Entwicklungsstadien gezeigt. Für Kinder ist ein Streichelzoo vorhanden, der einen engen Kontakt zu Haustieren zulässt und weiterbildende Angebote über die Lebensweise von Tieren anbietet. Ein historisches Karussell, das mit Sonnenenergie betrieben wird, ist außerdem vorhanden. Arterhaltungsprogramme Der Woodland Park Zoo unterstützt eine Vielzahl von internationalen Arterhaltungsprogrammen vor Ort. Dazu zählen die Mitarbeit zum Schutz des Matschie-Baumkängurus (Dendrolagus matschiei), des Malaysia-Tigers (Panthera tigris jacksoni), des Schneeleoparden (Panthera uncia), des Borneo-Orang-Utans (Pongo pygmaeus), des Panzernashorns (Rhinoceros unicornis), der verschiedenen Giraffenarten, der asiatischen Kraniche und vieler weiterer Arten. Auf nationaler Ebene werden Arterhaltungsprogramme gefährdeter Tierarten im Bundesstaat Washington gefördert und Programme zur Verbesserung des Zusammenlebens von Menschen und Wildtieren bei einer schnell wachsenden Bevölkerung in Nordamerika erarbeitet.

Woodland Park Zoo

Le Woodland Park Zoo est une organisation de conservation de la faune et un jardin zoologique situé dans le quartier de Phinney Ridge à Seattle, dans l'État de Washington, aux États-Unis. Il est le récipiendaire de nombreux prix à travers de multiples catégories. Histoire Occupant la moitié ouest du parc Woodland, le zoo a commencé comme une petite ménagerie sur le domaine de Guy C. Phinney, un propriétaire de scierie et promoteur immobilier né au Canada. Six ans après la mort de Phinney, le 28 décembre 1899, la femme de Phinney vend le Woodland Park de 76 hectares à la ville pour 5 000 $ en espèces et la prise en charge d'une hypothèque de 95 000 $. La somme était si importante que le maire de l'époque, W. D. Wood, a mis son veto à l'acquisition, qui a ensuite été annulée par le conseil municipal. En 1902, la firme Olmsted Brothers de Boston a été embauché pour concevoir les parcs de la ville, y compris Woodland Park, et l'année suivante, la collection de la ménagerie privée de Leschi Park a été déplacée à Phinney Ridge. En 1975, David Hancocks, alors directeur du zoo de Woodland Park, repense l'exposition sur les gorilles du zoo pour former ce que l'on a appelé des expositions d'immersion dans le paysage, dans lesquelles les animaux seraient immergés dans des paysages qui représentaient le plus fidèlement possible leur habitat naturel. L'habitat a été conçu avec des plantes naturelles et des pierres, une attention particulière étant accordée au traitement acoustique de l'exposition pour rendre l'environnement doux et calme. Initialement, l'idée a été fortement critiquée, de nombreux experts étant préoccupés par le maintien de la végétation et le manque de visibilité, ainsi que l'environnement tempéré de Washington affectant négativement le sol. L'idée est finalement devenue la norme pour les expositions naturalistes, inspirant de nombreux imitateurs et répliques dans le monde entier.
