Victor Steinbrueck Park

Victor Steinbrueck Park es un parque de 3200 m² ubicado en el centro de Seattle, Washington, Estados Unidos.​ Está situado estratégicamente al noroeste del Pike Place Market, entre la avenida Western y el viaducto Alaskan Way, en la base de la calle Virginia, y ofrece vistas panorámicas de la bahía de Elliott.​ El parque lleva el nombre de Victor Steinbrueck, un destacado arquitecto de Seattle que jugó un papel fundamental en la preservación de sitios emblemáticos como el Pike Place Market y Pioneer Square en la ciudad.​ Historia El parque se encuentra en el mismo lugar donde antes se encontraba el armero de la Guardia Nacional de Washington, el cual fue construido alrededor de 1909 y sufrió daños por un incendio en 1962,​ en un momento en que el futuro del mercado en sí mismo era un tema polémico. Finalmente, fue demolido en 1968. Victor Steinbrueck, quien desempeñó un papel fundamental en la preservación del cercano Pike Place Market y Pioneer Square, escribió sobre esta ubicación en 1968:«Uno de los lugares de observación más impresionantes del centro está en la avenida Western, donde se encuentra con el Pike Place y la calle Virginia. Ha sido descuidado por la ciudad y sus posibilidades de disfrute son ignoradas, excepto por algunos habituales y transeúntes».​Steinbrueck se opuso firmemente a la demolición del armero, afirmando que edificios como ese ofrecen un vínculo invaluable con el pasado y agregan variedad e interés a los nuevos entornos. Según él, la restauración no sería imposible ni difícil para diseñadores comprensivos, mientras que otros siempre podrían encontrar razones prácticas para la destrucción.​ En 1968, la ciudad adquirió el terreno, demolió los restos del armero y transfirió la propiedad al departamento de parques en 1970. El parque fue ajardinado en 1982 y se llamó Market Park. En 1984, se agregaron dos tótems de cedro, diseñados por Marvin Oliver y tallados por James Bender.​ Después del fallecimiento de Steinbrueck en 1985, el parque recibió su nombre en su honor. Se había planteado la posibilidad de retirar los tótems, por supuestamente carecer de significado o importancia indígena, desmontaje en abril de 2023.​ La familia Steinbrueck permaneció alerta, acompañados por Marylin, la hermana de Oliver. Durante todo el día, ella supervisó el avance, asegurándose de que los postes nunca hicieran contacto con el suelo, ya que, según la tradición, ello implicaría su destrucción.​ Marylin menciona que se ha puesto como misión personal que la obra de arte descolorida de su hermano sea restaurada por artistas y talladores nativos. Shannon Glass, una alta directiva de proyectos en Seattle Parks, sugiere que es probable que los postes sean reinstalados.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Victor Steinbrueck Park en Google Maps.

Virginia V

le Virginia V est le dernier exemplaire de la Puget Sound mosquito fleet (en). C'est un bateau à vapeur qui faisait partie d'une grande flotte de petits bateaux à passagers opérant dans le Puget Sound, reliant les diverses îles à la fin du XIXe siècle et le début du XXe entre Seattle et Tacoma, de Vashon Island à la Péninsule de Kitsap. Classé au National Historic Landmark il est exploité comme navire musée sur le Lac Union à Seattle. Histoire Virginia V a été réalisé par Anderson & Company dans le Comté de Pierce dans l'État de Washington pour remplacer le Virginia IV. Il est construit en sapin d'essence locale. Lancé le 9 mars 1922 il a été remorqué à Seattle pour recevoir le moteur du Virginia IV. Le 11 mai 1922, le Virginia V a effectué son voyage inaugural de la Baie Elliott à Seattle et Tacoma, voyage qu'il effectuera jusqu'en 1938. Il subira une tempête le 21 octobre 1934 avec la destruction des ponts supérieurs. Après une remise en travaux, il reprendra son service le 5 décembre 1934. De 1938 à 1942, il navigue sur le fleuve Columbia de Portland à Astoria. Ses propriétaires étant en faillite, il est mis en vente pour payer les dettes. Son nouveau propriétaire, M. Parker, l'exploite durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale sur le trajet Poulsbo à la base navale des torpilleurs de Keyport pour le transport des personnels et marchandises. Après la guerre, il sert comme bateau d'excursion dans la Puget Sound. Navire musée et navigation En 1948 est créée la Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society (en) (PSMHS) à Seattle pour la préservation du patrimoine maritime. Le Virginia V continue à naviguer pour des excursions. En 1954, il est racheté par le capitaine Phillip Luther de la Puget Sound Excursion Lines. En 1956, il est acquis par Chartles McMahon qui le fait restaurer. En 1968, un groupe de passionnés de bateau à vapeur crée la Northwest Steamship Company et rachète le Virginia V. En 1973, il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques. Son exploitation devenant de plus en plus difficile, la Steamer Virginia V Foundation est créée en 1976 pour acquérir le steamer en vue de sa préservation future. Une longue restauration est entreprise de 1995 à 2001. Depuis 2002, Virginia V navigue pour des excursions publiques et des festivals maritimes locaux et peut aussi être loué pour des évènements privés.

W.T. Preston

Le W. T. Preston est un bateau à roues à aubes ayant servi de snagboat dans la Puget Sound. Il enlevait les obstacles submergés et les débris naturels empêchant la navigation dans les rivières. Classé au National Historic Landmark en 1989, il est la pièce maîtresse du Snabgboat Heritage Center à Anacortes. Histoire Le WT Preston a été exploité à partir d'Olympia jusqu'à Blaine, incluant les rivières Skagit, Stillaguamish et Snohomish. Les arbres morts qui atteignaient Puget Sound étaient souvent demi-submergés et pouvaient percer la coque des bateaux en bois. Le gouvernement fédéral a commencé à faire construire des snagboats pour éliminer les obstacles et faciliter le commerce sur la rivière. WT Preston a été nommé en l'honneur du seul ingénieur civil du Corps du génie de l'armée des États-Unis au moment de sa construction en 1929. Le WT Preston à l'origine était un navire à coque en bois qui a travaillé au dragage dans les eaux de Puget Sound jusqu'en 1939. Puis il a été équipé d'un grand bras sur l'avant pour lever les débris naturels. La mission de WT Preston a changé au fil des ans quand les rivières ont été de moins en moins utilisées pour le transport des marchandises. Le WT Preston a commencé à lutter contre les incendies et à effectuer d'autres travaux généraux. Puis l'Army Corps of Engineers a rapatrié le WT Preston à Seattle où il a travaillé encore quarante ans avant de prendre sa retraite en 1981. Navire musée Le WT Preston est maintenant à sec, en permanence amarré sur le front de mer près de Cap Sante, à Anacortes. Le navire est un monument historique national et reste officiellement un monument historique de la ville de Seattle (son ancien emplacement). Le navire fonctionne maintenant comme un musée. Il est exploité par la Ville d'Anacortes. En 2005, le Snagboat Heritage Center a été construit juste au nord du WT Preston. Ce centre abrite des objets, des modèles, des cartes et d'autres textes historiques et des informations sur les snagboats qui maintiennent les voies navigables de la région.

Walla Walla Community College

Walla Walla Community College (WWCC), often referred to as just "CC" locally, is a multi-campus community college in southeastern Washington state. History Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) was established in 1967 by Peter Dietrich in response to the region's growing need for a community college. Initially located in the educational complex on Park St., formerly occupied by Walla Walla High School, WWCC later relocated to its current site east of town near the airport, after outgrowing its original location. Additionally, a branch campus was established in Clarkston, WA, 100 miles to the east. In the late 1990s, WWCC introduced one of its most significant programs, the enological and viticulture program, amid economic uncertainty in Walla Walla caused by the local decline in the agriculture industry. This program played a crucial role in the subsequent expansion of the wine industry in Walla Walla by producing many of the region's winemakers. Over time, WWCC has developed a variety of non-traditional programs, including the Commercial Truck Driver Program, John Deere Technology Program, and Water Technologies and Management Program, to address the evolving needs of the Walla Walla Valley. Most recently, WWCC has undertaken the expansion of the Southeast Area Tech Skills Center (SEA Tech Center), involving the construction of a multimillion-dollar building at the main campus to accommodate new programs in collaboration with area high schools. In recognition of its excellence, Walla Walla Community College was honored with the Aspen Prize for Community College Excellence in 2013. Campus The college is spread over three campuses in southeastern Washington state. The WWCC also maintains a facility at the Washington State Penitentiary. Academics The college has an average annual enrollment of about 9,000 students. It has numerous areas of study and certificates, as well as 45 different associate degree programs. Athletics WWCC fields teams (stylized as the Walla Walla Warriors) in eleven sports. In the Fall, Warrior Field plays host to men's and women's soccer, while volleyball takes center stage in the Dietrich Center – often referred to as 'The Dome'. The winter quarter sees The Dome taken over by the men's and women's basketball, while the spring months offer baseball, softball, men's and women's golf, and rodeo. The Warriors play in the Northwest Intercollegiate Athletic Association (NWAC) Notable people Mark Klicker, businessman and politician Tommy Lloyd, head men's basketball coach at University of Arizona, former assistant basketball coach at Gonzaga Chuck Martin, college basketball coach Kimo von Oelhoffen, NFL defensive tackle Ricky Pierce, professional basketball player Bryan Pittman, NFL long snapper Mike Sellers, NFL fullback for the Washington Football Team References External links Official website

Walla Walla General Hospital

Walla Walla General Hospital was a 72-bed acute-care hospital located at the base of the Blue Mountains and served approximately 70,000 residents of Southeastern Washington and Northeastern Oregon. It was closed after more than 100 years in operation in the month of July 2017, Adventist Health's Walla Walla General Hospital in eastern Washington and they also closed their Adventist Home Healthcare related services, and their clinics. History In 1899, Isaac and Maggie Dunlap returned to the Walla Walla Valley after completing studies at the Battle Creek Sanitarium located in Michigan. They opened treatment rooms in the basement of the administration building at Walla Walla College. During the first year, some 3,000 patients were treated. In 1903, they built a structure that doubled as their home and a sanitarium and in 1906, they purchased the old College Place public schoolhouse. This structure was moved to the Walla Walla College campus, hoisted up and a new first floor was built underneath it. It was dedicated on June 3, 1907. The first female physician, Dr. Runck, joined staff in 1910 and within the next few years extensive improvements were made to the "department devoted to women's medicated baths." The building was expanded three times in 12 years and by the early 1920s the sanitarium had grown to a three-story building. In 1925, a group of local physicians opened a rival hospital. Built at the cost of $200,000, it contained the latest in medical equipment and facilities. However, the Great Depression caused the rival hospital to go bankrupt and it was auctioned in a sheriff's sale in 1931, and was purchased by the Walla Walla Sanitarium for $75,000. The 1940s saw a boom in census after the lean years of the Great Depression. In the hospital's 1943 annual report, the manager stated that bed capacity was 53, with an average of 49.6 patients per day. In 1950, the community was challenged to raise one-third of the proposed $385,000 needed for expansion. A new west wing was added in 1956, and in the 1960s, the hospital was remodeled and technologically updated. In the early 1970s, another renovation was necessary. The needs of the institution, now known as Walla Walla General Hospital (WWGH), were presented to the community and they pledged one-third of the needed $750,000. The hospital board also decided to relocate entirely than build onto the original building. During the process, WWGH joined Adventist Health on December 9, 1973. On September 18, 1975, groundbreaking ceremonies were held at WWGH's current location. Two years later, on July 10, 1977, the grand opening of the new facility was held. In June 2001 a surprise FDA inspection found problems with the technical controls in the hospital's autologous blood bank and further problems were found in December 2002, but a followup in April 2003 verified that all the problems had been corrected. On July 24, 2017, Walla Walla General Hospital closed. At the time of its closure it was part of Adventist Health. See also References External links Adventist Health
Wallace Falls State Park

Wallace Falls State Park is a public recreation area that encompasses 1,380 acres (560 ha) along the Wallace River in Snohomish County, Washington. The state park is located on the west side of the Cascade Mountains with an entrance point one mile (1.6 km) northeast of the community of Gold Bar. The park features three waterfalls, three backcountry lakes, old-growth coniferous forests, rushing mountain rivers and streams, and the evidence of its logging history in the ruins of railroad trestles, disused railroad grades, and springboard notches in stumps. History The name "Wallace" is a corruption of the last name of Joe and Sarah Kwayaylsh, members of the Skykomish tribe, who were the first homesteaders in the area. The park originated with the state's purchase of land from the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company in 1971. Waterfalls The park has three waterfalls: Upper Wallace Falls, which cannot be viewed in its entirety and drops 240 feet (73 m) in five separate tiers; 367-foot (112 m) Wallace Falls, the highlight of the park, which falls in three sections—the largest of which drops 265 feet (81 m) and can be seen from the Skykomish Valley; and Lower Wallace Falls, which drops 212 feet (65 m) in five tiers. Activities and amenities The park has twelve miles (19 km) of hiking trails and five miles (8.0 km) of biking trails as well as a campground and cabins.

Wanapum Dam

Wanapum Dam is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric project located on the Columbia River downstream (south) from Vantage, Washington where Interstate 90 crosses the Columbia from Grant County into Kittitas County. It is owned by the Grant County Public Utility District. Its reservoir is named Lake Wanapum. The dam, and its lake, are named after the Wanapum Indians. The dam has a rated capacity of 1,185 megawatts and annually generates over 4 million megawatt-hours. History The Wanapum dam was originally licensed in 1955 for a period of 50 years. Construction was initiated in 1959 with initial beneficial operation in 1963. The initial license expired in 2005, after which the Grant County PUD operated the dam on yearly license extensions while negotiations for license extension proceeded. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved a license extension of 44 years for both the Wanapum dam and the downstream Priest Rapids Dam on April 17, 2008. The license extension was conditioned upon programs to achieve the following goals: modernize the power generation capability of the dam monitor water quality improve wildlife habitat protect nearly 700 Wanapum Tribe archaeological sites in the vicinity enhance recreation with new campsites, picnic areas and trails Spillway crack On February 27, 2014, a 2-inch (5 cm) wide crack was discovered by inspection divers on one of the 65 feet (20 m) tall concrete monoliths that make up the spillway of the dam. A spokesman for the Grant County PUD indicated that the level of the water was to be lowered by 26 feet (8 m) over a period of days to "reduce the pressure on the spillway while inspectors investigate". During the time that the water level was lowered for repairs, all beaches and water access in the area above the dam were closed to protect sensitive cultural resources and help to ensure public safety. Public access was restored in the spring of 2015. After an 11-week inspection, the primary reason for the crack was determined to be a mathematical error during the pre-construction design of the dam. Repairs of the cracked monolith and the strengthening of the remaining monoliths were made in 2014-2015. The $61 million fix used steel cabling and rods to stitch the dam to the bedrock underneath.
