Christ the Redeemer Church (Spokane, Washington)

Christ the Redeemer Church in West Central, Spokane, Washington is a historic church located at 1527 W. Mallon Street. Built as the North Side Baptist Church in 1911 in a Late Gothic Revival style and was added to the National Register in 1992 under the name Grace Baptist Church, the church is today an independent evangelical church loosely connected to Moore Theological College. History Founded after the Great Spokane Fire of 1889, the North Side Baptist Church grew rapidly during Spokane's boom period. It initially met in the Spokane County Courthouse. By 1903, the church had hundreds of members, had established several missions, and had commissioned J. K. Dow to design a large church in what is today West Central. The church's National Register listing described it as "one of the most substantial structures on the growing north side, and one of the finest churches in the city. Today, it retains excellent integrity, and is distinguished by its arched openings, buttresses, battlemented parapets, stained glass, and dramatic interior auditorium." Christ the Redeemer Church began in 1993 when a group of families at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist adopted an evangelical theological outlook. After their request to plant a new Episcopal mission church was rejected by the bishop of Spokane, the group of 17 adults and 20 children began meeting in private homes. The church incorporated in 1994 under the name Christ the Redeemer. One of the founders read about Michael Youssef, who had a few years prior left the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta and planted Church of the Apostles as an independent congregation. Youssef recommended that Christ the Redeemer contact Moore Theological College. In 1994, Sydney Archbishop Donald Robinson visited Spokane to teach, preach, and celebrate communion for Christ the Redeemer. Robinson later sent Peter Hayward—a future Bishop of Wollongong in the Diocese of Sydney—to serve as pastor of Christ the Redeemer. Hayward and both of his successors as pastor of Christ the Redeemer are Moore Theological College graduates. In the late 1990s, Christ the Redeemer moved away from historic Anglican practices like having a vestry, the importance of bishops, infant baptism, and the theology of Holy Communion toward its present independent reformed, evangelical stance. In the early 2000s, Christ the Redeemer began renting space from Grace Baptist. After Grace Baptist's pastor retired, the churches began worshiping together for an interim period, after which the congregations merged and Christ the Redeemer became the owner of the historic Grace Baptist building. Theology Despite its connection to Sydney Anglicanism, Christ the Redeemer is an independent, non-denominational church. It adheres to Reformed theology, credobaptist practice, plural male eldership, and expository preaching. References External links Christ the Redeemer website
Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery (Seattle)

The Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery on Seattle, Washington's Capitol Hill is a cemetery situated just north of Lake View Cemetery on the hill's northern slope, on East Howe Street between 12th and Everett Avenues East. A consortium of Seattle's five Grand Army of the Republic posts – Stevens Post #1, Miller Post #31, Cushing Post #56, Saxton Post #103, and Green Lake #112 – established the cemetery in 1895 on land donated by Huldah and David Kaufman, two of the city's earliest Jewish settlers, who arrived in 1869. The G.A.R. posts maintained the cemetery until 1922, when they gave the property, excluding of the 526 gravesites, to the city of Seattle. The association deeded the gravesites to the Stevens Post who hired neighboring Lake View Cemetery to maintain the grounds. The cemetery fell into decline over the following decades, because of confusion over land title, the failure in 1939 to secure WPA project, the imposition during World War II of the Coast Artillery on the grounds, and so on. In 1960, the city attempted to transfer maintenance to the Veterans Administration, either in situ or by moving the graves to Fort Lawton in Magnolia, now Discovery Park, but the VA was unable to allocate money on cemeteries it did not own, and the graves were never moved. The land surrounding the graves came under the jurisdiction of Seattle's Department of Parks and Recreation. In 1996, the parks department proposed that the park become an off-leash dog-run; in response to this, the Friends of the GAR Cemetery Park formed the next year. Members of the group now staff monthly work parties, are involved in headstone replacement, and perform daily flag raising. The cemetery holds the remains of Medal of Honor recipient Frank Bois (1841–1920), who was honored for heroism while aboard the USS Cincinnati during the Battle of Vicksburg, Mississippi during the Civil War.

Grand Coulee Bridge

The Grand Coulee Bridge, or Columbia River Bridge at Grand Coulee Dam, is a through-cantilever steel truss bridge built in 1934–35. It carries State Route 155 across the Columbia River immediately below Grand Coulee Dam, near the city of Grand Coulee, Washington. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The bridge was built to transport heavy equipment across the Columbia River during the construction of the dam, and thereafter as a permanent highway bridge. As such, it was designed to carry a heavier load than was typical. The bridge is supported by two concrete piers, about 150 feet (46 m) high. During construction, one of the piers began to tilt, probably due to fine glacial material under the gravel. Additional supports were added as a temporary measure. It employed between 1,000 and 1,200 men. The piers were later taken down to bedrock using pneumatic caissons.

Grays Harbor Light

The Grays Harbor Lighthouse (Westport Light) is a lighthouse located on Point Chehalis on the southern side of the entrance to Grays Harbor, Westport, Grays Harbor County, Washington, in the United States. History The 107-foot (33 m) Grays Harbor Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Washington and the third tallest on the West Coast. It marks the entrance to Grays Harbor, which is one of Washington's few outer-coast harbors, and was first lit in 1898. Construction began in 1897, using plans drawn up by architect Carl Leick, at a site facing the Pacific Ocean about 400 feet (120 m) from water's edge. Massive amounts of accretion, due in large part to the jetty system at the entrance to Grays Harbor, have since built up, and the lighthouse now stands approximately 3,000 feet (910 m) from high tide. The base of the lighthouse rests on a 12-foot-thick (3.7 m) foundation of sandstone. The lighthouse walls, which are four feet thick at the base, are made of brick with a coating of cement on the exterior. Originally windows lit the interior of the tower, but to cut down on maintenance they were cemented over when electricity was added to the station. One hundred thirty-five (135) metal stairs bolted to the wall lead to the lantern room. The light's initial signature was a five-second white flash, darkness, then a five-second red flash. After electricity reached the lighthouse, the signature became white flashes followed by 15 seconds of darkness, then red flashes followed by 15 seconds of darkness. In August 1992, the original third order Fresnel lens was turned off. A smaller light (FA-251), manufactured in New Zealand, was mounted to the balcony. The new light operates on a 35 watt bulb and can be seen 19 miles (17 nmi; 31 km) with the white sector, 17 on the red sector. The original lens still occupies the lantern room. In late 1960s, the Coast Guard automated the light. In 1977, the lighthouse achieved listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2004, under the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000, ownership was transferred to the Westport-South Beach Historical Society, which conducts regular tours. The light station is adjacent to Westport Light State Park.

Маяк Грейс-Харбор

Маяк Грейс-Харбор (англ. Grays Harbor Light), также известный как маяк Уэстпорт (англ. Westport Light), — маяк, расположенный в черте города Уэстпорт, на входе в залив Грейс-Харбор, округ Грейс-Харбор, штат Вашингтон, США. Построен в 1898 году. Автоматизирован в 1960-х годах. Самый высокий маяк в штате Вашингтон и третий по высоте на всём Западном побережье. История О необходимости установки маяка на входе в залив Грейс-Харбор впервые написали по итогам исследовательской экспедиции 1841 года. В конце XIX века район Уэстпорт превратился в крупный лесозаготовительный порт. 7 июля 1884 года Конгресс США выделил 15 500$ на строительство маяка на северной стороне входа в залив Грейс-Харбор. 3 марта 1893 года эта сумма была увеличена на 20 000$, а 2 марта 1895 года — ещё на 39 500$. Архитектором проекта стал Карл Лейк. 26 марта 1898 года строительство было завершено. Маяк представлял собой восьмиугольную башню из камня и бетона высотой 33 метра на фундаменте из песчаника высотой 3,7 метра. 10 июня 1898 года на маяк была установлена линза Френеля третьего поколения. Помимо маяка, также были построены ветряная мельница, резервуар для воды, колодец, два дома смотрителей, две небольшие котельные и здание для противотуманного сигнала. Помещения для смотрителей состояли из одноэтажного дома главного смотрителя и двухэтажного дома для его помощников. До наших дней эти постройки не сохранились. В 1931 году маяк был электрифицирован. В 1926 году было построено новое бетонное здание противотуманной сигнализации примерно в полумиле к морю от первоначального. В конце 1960-х годов Береговая охрана США автоматизировала маяк. 2 ноября 1977 года маяк был включён в Национальный реестр исторических мест. Примечания Ссылки Морской музей Уэстпорта
Grays River Covered Bridge

The Grays River Covered Bridge is a one-lane covered bridge over the Grays River in western Wahkiakum County, Washington. It is the only covered bridge still in use as a public highway in Washington State. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. History The bridge was built in 1905 in order to allow horse and wagon agricultural traffic to cross the river. Hans P. Ahlberg, whose dairy farm spanned both sides of the river, was instrumental in getting county commissioners to authorize the project, which was built on his property by the Ferguson & Huston company of Astoria, Oregon. The bridge was covered three years later in 1908 to preserve the expensive wooden trusses from the ravages of the area rains. The roof of the covered bridge was originally built of "board and batten cedar siding with a capped tin roof." The bridge received a major restoration and reconstruction in 1988. In disrepair and at risk of being torn down, residents worked to raise funds for restoration. Reconstruction was completed by Dulin Construction of Centralia, Washington, for a cost of $295,980.00. The new bridge included steel beams some of which received a wood veneer to maintain the bridge's historic appearance. On September 30, 1989, the bridge was rededicated to public use, with author, granger, and Grays River resident Robert Michael Pyle serving as master of ceremonies. Engineering The Howe truss timber bridge with timber decking spans 155.5 feet (47.4 m), is 22.5 feet (6.9 m) high with 16.75 feet (5.11 m) inside clearance, and is 14 feet (4.3 m) wide. Cedar shingles cover the exterior. Management The bridge is the centerpiece of Ahlberg Park, which has been managed by the Grays River Grange since 2011 and is the site of an annual Covered Bridge Festival.

The Commerce Room can be used by convention groups as an additional breakout room or on its own for smaller events with a capacity for 180 people. References External links Official website
Fremont Trolley Barn

Fremont Trolley Barn is a building in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. Originally built as a carbarn (maintenance and operations base) for trolley cars, it has served numerous purposes during its years of existence (including as a warehouse and garage for garbage trucks) and is widely remembered as the brewery for Redhook Ale, considered by many to be Seattle's first craft beer brewery. Redhook brewed here from 1988 until 1998, when they moved to a larger site in Woodinville. The building then functioned as the production center of Seattle-based chocolatiers Theo Chocolate, who, however, announced in 2023 the closure of their Seattle manufacturing facility in this building. On February 16, 2025, the store was closed entirely. The Fremont Trolley Barn was designated a Seattle Landmark on September 20, 1989. History Built in 1905 by Boston engineering firm Stone & Webster at a cost of $31,225 (equivalent to roughly $850,000 today), the building started out as storage space for Seattle's streetcars, its yard being large enough to accommodate up to 60 vehicles. It is also known to have been used as a trainsmen's quarters and repair shop during this time. The city's streetcar network continued to expand with over 400 vehicles in operation by the mid-1930s; however, the increasing dilapidation of the vehicles led city authorities to switch the network over to buses and trackless trolleys. The last streetcar pulled into the barn on April 13, 1941; the building was subsequently taken over by the army and used for storage space during World War II. After the war the building was used by the Seattle Disposal Company to house garbage trucks and continued in this function for nearly 40 years. During the late 1980s it began to be leased by Quadrant Corp. in preparation for the eventual takeover by Redhook Ale Brewery, who had previously been operating out of a former transmission shop in the Ballard neighborhood. By 1991 the brewery had gone from producing 40,000 to 75,000 barrels of beer per year. The building also housed a pub named the Trolleyman, named in honor of its original function. Continued growth saw Redhook open a much larger brewing facility in Woodinville in 1994; in 1998 the company stopped production at the former trolley barn, with the Trolleyman pub closing four years later. From 2006 the building was the production center and home of Theo Chocolate, the first organic, fair-trade certified chocolate makers in North America. Around 60,000 visitors toured the factory each year. Chocolate manufacturing at this location, however, ended in or shortly after 2023. As of 2025, their flagship store was still operating in the building, but that store closed entirely on February 16, 2025. References External links Redhook Brewery Theo Chocolate

Guss Island

Guss Island is a small island in the San Juan Islands of the U.S. state of Washington. It lies in Garrison Bay, on the northwestern shore of San Juan Island. The island was named for Guss Hoffmaster, a German storekeeper in the English Camp during the Pig War. Primarily, the park has had relations with the Lummi Indian Business Council. The Lummi believe Guss Island to be their point of origin into this world. [4] As discussed under archaeological resources, several burials were removed from Guss Island in Garrison Bay. In 1985 the park, with assistance from Jim Thomson and Kent Bush of the Pacific Northwest regional office, began negotiating for the return and reinterment of the burials to the Lummi. A Memorandum of Understanding was drafted with the council, calling for the park to provide a 30' x 30' space for the reburials. The Lummi were to provide the container and actually complete the reburial process. The agreement was signed and several remains reburied, although the container delivered to the site was never used and eventually disposed of by the park. Monitoring of remains at the park and relations with the Lummi have more recently been handled by Seattle Support Office anthropologist, Dr. Fred York. References
