Kautz Glacier

The Kautz Glacier is a narrow glacier on the southern flank of Mount Rainier in Washington. Named for August Kautz, who is sometimes credited for the first ascent of Mount Rainier, covers 1.8 square miles (4.7 km2) and contains 7.8 billion ft3 (221 million m3) of ice. Upper Kautz Glacier extends south from the summit ice cap to Kautz Ice Cliff at about 11,700 feet (3,600 m). Immediately west of the main ice cliff, the glacier continues down Kautz Chute which terminates in another ice cliff just above the lower Kautz Glacier at 10,800 feet (3,300 m). Usually reached by a short descent from Camp Hazard at 11,300 feet (3,400 m) on Wapowety Cleaver, climbers following the Kautz Glacier climbing route ascend this chute to the upper glacier. Starting from the Kautz Glacier Headwall at about 12,500 feet (3,800 m), the lower glacier flows generally south-southwest between the Kautz and the Wapowety Cleaver. Just before it meets the Success Glacier, the Kautz makes a right turn and heads west for a short distance. After the two glaciers meet, the resultant glacier reaches down to about 6,000 ft (1,800 m) before terminating. Meltwater from the glacier drains into Kautz Creek Falls and into Kautz Creek, a tributary of the Nisqually River. Debris flows The glacier is one of four on Mount Rainier that are known to have released debris flows. Similar flows have stemmed from the Nisqually, Winthrop, and South Tahoma glaciers as well. The glacier released a particularly large mudflow on October 2–3, 1947, when heavy rains melted and eroded the lower part of the glacier. The meltwater transformed into a 14 billion ft3 (40 million m3) mudflow replete with large boulders up to 13 feet (4 m) in diameter. The flow buried Highway 706 in 28 feet (9 m) of sediment and watery debris. Deposits from the 1947 mudflow can still be seen today. Smaller flows occurred in the years 1961, 1985 and 1986.

Arctic Building

The Arctic Building ist ein Gebäude mit neun Stockwerken in der Downtown von Seattle, Washington. Es steht an der nordöstlichen Ecke der Kreuzung von Third Avenue und Cherry Street. Das Gebäude wurde 1916 für den Arctic Club errichtet und wurde von diesem bis zu seiner Auflösung 1971 genutzt. Architektur und Design Die Fassade des Gebäudes ist vollständig in cremefarbener Terrakotta ausgeführt, doch Akzente wurden in submarinblau und orangebraun gesetzt. Das 128 Fuß (39 m) hohe Gebäude ist besonders bekannt durch die Walrossköpfe aus Terrakotta, die im dritten Stockwerk um das Gebäude herum in die Fassade eingereiht sind. Das Bauwerk wurde restauriert und ist heute ein Luxushotel mit 120 Hotelzimmern; es wurde am 28. November 1978 in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen und ist auch eine City of Seattle Landmark. Geschichte Das Grundstück, auf dem sich das Arctic Building befindet, gehörte einst Joseph R. Lewis, dem Chief Justice des Washington-Territoriums und direktem Nachkommen von George Washingtons Schwester Betty. Das Haus, das er 1875 an der Stelle errichtete, galt als eines der schönsten Gebäude der Stadt in seiner Zeit. Es wurde 1892 durch das dreistöckige Gebäude des Seattle Theatre ersetzt, dessen Entwurf durch das Architekturbüro Saunders and Lawton gefertigt wurde. Der neugegründete Rainier Club war in dem Bürotrakt des Gebäudes untergebracht, bis er eigene Räumlichkeiten bezog. Das Theatergebäude wurde 1916 durch das Arctic Club Building ersetzt. Der Arctic Club wurde 1908 von erfolgreichen Veteranen des Klondike-Goldrausches gegründet. Im selben Jahr wurde der bestehende Alaska Club mit dem Arctic Club verschmolzen. Der Arctic Club war ein Männern vorbehaltener Gesellschaftsclub für Geschäftsleute, die Verbindungen zum Goldrausch oder zu Alaska hatten. Ursprünglich siedelte der Arctic Club 1909 an der Ecke von 3rd Avenue und Jefferson Street im Morrison Hotel, das zu dem Zeitpunkt ebenfalls als Arctic Club Building bezeichnet wurde. Nach einem Disput mit dem Eigentümer des Gebäudes, der Arctic Construction Company, entschied man sich 1914 zur Umsiedlung. 1916 beauftragten die Mitglieder den anerkannten Seattler Architekten A. Warren Gould, das neue Arctic Building in Downtown Seattle als neuen Sitz des Arctic Clubs zu planen. Bauherr und Eigentümer des Neubaus war James Moses, dem auch das zuvor abgerissene Theatergebäude gehörte. Er schloss mit dem Club einen langfristigen Mietvertrag ab. Während des Umzuges erschlichen sich die Mitglieder die Bareinrichtung des früheren Gebäudes, indem sie die Teile durch eines der Fenster abseilten. Als der Präsident des Clubs nach dem Einbau in dem neuen Gebäude von dem Schwindel erfuhr, leistete er eine Ausgleichszahlung, um einen Rechtsstreit zu verhindern.

Kennedy Creek Natural Area Preserve

Kennedy Creek Natural Area Preserve is a state-protected natural area near US Highway 101 on Oyster Bay, Puget Sound, in southwest Washington state, United States. The preserve is on the border of Thurston County and Mason County and contains 203 acres (82 ha) of intertidal salt marsh and upland forest. The area is located approximately 100 yards from the junction of U.S. Highway 101 and Old Olympic Highway, about a 15-minute drive from Washington's capital city of Olympia. Parking areas are located on the side of Old Olympic Highway, and a short all-weather pedestrian trail leads to an improved wildlife viewing and interpretive area. The preserve is visited by large numbers of migratory waterfowl, especially in winter months. Birding is best on a falling tide. Kennedy Creek, whose headwaters are 500-foot (150 m) Summit Lake in the Black Hills, is one of the largest Chum salmon spawning areas in the lower Puget Sound, and has a genetically distinct run of Chum salmon. A forest trail about 1 mile (1.6 km) up from Oyster Bay along Kennedy Creek was opened in 2000 for salmon viewing during spawning season. A $1 million expansion of the area has been proposed and is pending legislative action.

Kerry Park

Kerry Park is a small public park and viewpoint on the south slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington, United States. It overlooks Downtown Seattle and is located along West Highland Drive between 2nd Avenue West and 3rd Avenue West. The park's view is considered to offer the most iconic views of the city skyline, with the Space Needle prominent at the center, Elliott Bay to the west, and Mount Rainier in the background. Description and history The park encompasses 1.26 acres (0.51 ha) and includes a railing and several benches facing south towards the skyline. A stairway on the west end of the park connects below to West Prospect Street and the Bayview-Kinnear Park, which has a small playground. Kerry Park is named after the couple lumberman and business magnate Albert S. Kerry and his wife Katharine. They lived nearby, and donated the land to the city in 1927 "so that all who stop here may enjoy [its] view." At the center of Kerry Park is Changing Form, a steel sculpture by artist Doris Totten Chase that stands 15 feet (4.6 m) high and was installed in 1971 with donations from Kerry's children. The sculpture is hollow and is popular as a play area for children and as a framing device for photographers. That view from Kerry Park encompasses downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, the West Seattle peninsula, Bainbridge Island, and Mount Rainier. The view from the park is often used as the backdrop for television news segments on Seattle, as well as other media depictions of the city. Kerry Park was also featured in the opening credits of the 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You, and in Frasier as the view from the titular character's apartment.

Kiggins Theatre

The Kiggins Theatre is an historic, single-screen movie theater in Vancouver, Washington. Named for former Vancouver mayor and businessman John P. Kiggins, it opened in 1936. It is located at 1011 Main Street in downtown Vancouver. Architecture The Kiggins Theatre was designed in the Art Deco style by architect Day Walter Hilborn. The walls were constructed using formed concrete, with decorative motifs on the exterior and interior. The "Kiggins" neon sign is original, as are some of the interior light fixtures. The original marquee was replaced in the late 1950s. An elaborate mural originally painted inside the building no longer exists. History Construction of the Kiggins Theatre began on September 20, 1935. The theater opened on April 24, 1936, with a showing of the film She Married Her Boss, starring Claudette Colbert and Melvyn Douglas. The Kiggins operated continuously as a movie theater from 1936 to 1955. In 1958, the interior and exterior of the theater were renovated; the current marquee was installed at that time. The Kiggins reopened as part of the Adamson Theaters chain, which ran the theater for the next two decades. In 1980, the theater was acquired by a local church, and stopped showing commercial movies in favor of Christian films. The theater sustained moderate smoke and water damage after an electrical fire in 1981 and remained closed for nearly two years. After repairs and some renovation, the Kiggins reopened in 1983 and began showing second run double features through 1996. The theater was renovated again in early 1997, when some architectural features were restored, and more modern projection and sound equipment were installed. The theater reopened under new management in May 1997, and operated until May 2010, when it closed once again because of financial difficulties. The Kiggins was renovated and reopened under new management in September 2011. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. References
King County Courthouse

The King County Courthouse is the administrative building housing the judicial branch of King County, Washington's government. It is located in downtown Seattle, just north of Pioneer Square. The 1916 structure houses the King County Prosecuting Attorney, the King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO), the King County Council, the King County Law Library, King County Work and Education Release, and courtrooms for the King County Superior Court and the Seattle District Court. It is located just north of City Hall Park at 516 Third Avenue, between Dilling Way and James Street. An enclosed skybridge connects the courthouse to the King County Jail; it is used to transfer prisoners between the courthouse and the jail. A pedestrian tunnel connects the courthouse to the King County Administration Building. History In 1911, King County voters first turned down, then approved plans to build a new structure for county government. The site settled on had once been owned by Seattle founder Henry Yesler. Seattle-based architect A. Warren Gould proposed a twenty-three story tower to handle anticipated growth in county functions, but the county commissioners preferred a more modest beginning so it was constructed in stages. Starting in 1914, a five-story steel frame and reinforced concrete structure was built, and dedicated May 4, 1916 as the City-County Building. In 1930, six floors were added by architects Henry Bittman and John L. McCauley, and later a three-story "attic". The city government moved their offices from the County–City Building in 1962; the building was renamed the King County Courthouse in August of that year. Modernization efforts in 1967 added air conditioning and heavily modified the appearance of the building. In 1987, the King County Courthouse was registered as a King County landmark, which limits the style of future remodeling of public areas to restoring the original appearance. After the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, the courthouse was seismically retrofitted. The extensive damage done to older buildings in the area by the 6.8 quake pushed the county to move forward with this project. Upon completion, murals and a treatment of the marble floor on the first floor of the Courthouse were noted decorative touches. The area around the courthouse is proximate to major homeless service agencies and had seen a rise in crimes committed against jurors and courthouse workers. In December 2019, the King County Superior Court announced that the courthouse entrance facing 3rd Avenue would be closed for security reasons to most people, with limited access for individuals needing accommodation.
