Seattle Steam Company

CenTrio, formerly known as the Seattle Steam Company, is a district heating public utility that provides steam (generated by burning natural gas, diesel oil, and recycled wood) to over 175 businesses in downtown Seattle and on First and Capitol Hills via 18 miles of steam pipeline. Its plants are located on Western Avenue at Union Street, just west of Pike Place Market, and on Post Avenue at Yesler Way, in Pioneer Square. About Seattle Steam was founded in 1893 as the Seattle Steam Heat and Power Co. It owns 18 miles of pipes under the streets of Downtown. Its average winter output is 250,000 to 300,000 pounds (110,000 to 140,000 kg) of steam per hour; this drops to less than 100,000 pounds (45,000 kg) in the summer. Seattle Steam's biggest customers are Swedish Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, and Virginia Mason Medical Center, which use the steam for heat and sterilization. Other big customers include hotels, which use the steam for heat and for generating hot water, Seattle Public Library, which uses it for heat and the Seattle Art Museum, which uses it for heat and humidity control. In May 2014, Seattle Steam was bought by Enwave Energy Corporation, a unit of Brookfield Asset Management of Toronto, and renamed Enwave Seattle. In April 2021, Australian investment firm QIC partnered with Ullico to acquire "100% interest" in Enwave Energy's U.S. business, rebranding those operations (including Enwave Seattle) to CenTrio.

Seattle Tower

The Seattle Tower, originally known as the Northern Life Tower, is a 27-story skyscraper in downtown Seattle, Washington. The building is located on 1218 Third Avenue and is known as Seattle's first art-deco tower. Its distinctive, ziggurat exterior is clad in 33 shades of brick designed to effect a gradient which lightens from the bottom to the top of the building. This is said to have been inspired by local rock formations. According to the US National Park Service website: The Northern Life Insurance Company was founded in Seattle by D. B. and T. M. Morgan, with assets of $170,232 and a 12 by 12 foot office in the Colman Building. As the firm prospered, it was moved to larger offices where it remained until, after the death of T. M. Morgan in 1919. D. B. Morgan then decided to construct his own building "finer than anything on the Pacific Coast." The plan to construct the building at a cost of $1.5 million was announced in April 1927. Originally a 24-story building, the Northern Life Tower was increased to 27 stories and when completed was one floor higher above sea level than the Smith Tower, which had previously been referred to as "the tallest building west of the Mississippi." Completed in 1928, the Northern Life Tower--a true skyscraper--represents a dramatic shift in the appearance of Seattle's skyline. Earlier 20th-century buildings had derived their style from classical precedents. But by the 1920s, architects began to favor designs that attempted to emulate the speed, efficiency and power found within technology, perceived by many as humanity's hope for the future. The Northern Life Tower was the first building in Seattle to illustrate this style, now known as Art Deco or Art Moderne. Derived from Eliel Saarinen's famous, second-place proposal for the Chicago Tribune contest, the Northern Life Tower building beautifully illustrates the increasing popularity of a simple, smooth, almost machine-like exterior. This faith in progress also appeared in the lighting that once fully illuminated the building: more than 200 floodlights faded into one another in a "phantasmagoric display" meant to imitate the aurora borealis, a play on the Northern Life Insurance Company's name and an illustration of the belief that science could imitate nature's most incredible wonders. Today the lights are gone, and taller, newer skyscrapers dwarf the building, but it remains one of the Northwest's most elegant Art-Deco buildings. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and is also a designated city landmark.

Sehome Hill Arboretum

Sehome Hill Arboretum je 73hektarový zalesněný park v Bellinghamu, v americkém státě Washington, vedle kampusu Western Washington University. Přestože je nazýván arboretem, není uměle vysázen, naopak se jedná o přírodní les obsahující druhy rostlin, které jsou typické pro zdejší oblast. Správu parku mají na starost jak město, tak univerzita, jeho správní radu tvoří různí zaměstnanci města nebo univerzity, studenti univerzity a obyvatelé města. Pro studenty a obyvatele park nabízí 8 kilometrů turistických stezek, které lze zčásti využít i jako cyklostezky. V parku, konkrétně na vrcholku Sehome Hill, se také nachází 24 metrů vysoká rozhledna, která nabízí výhled na Bellinghamův záliv. Dále se zde nachází ručně vytvořený tunel z roku 1923 jímž původně procházela silnice. Jeho tvar napovídá, že byl vyroben pro auta typu Ford T, dnes do něj však auta nesmí, a tak je pouze částí jedné ze zdejších turistických stezek. Na svazích kopce Sehome Hill byly v padesátých letech 19. století založeny uhelné doly poté, co zde uhlí nalezli dva vyhledávači Henry Hewitt a William Brown pracující pro pilařský závod Henryho Roedera. Uhelná společnost Bellingham Bay Coal Company zde začala těžbu v roce 1855 a šachty se prý nachází po celé rozloze parku, ačkoli jejich přesná umístění nebo vstupy do tunelů nejsou známy. Po celou dobu 19. století až do roku 1906 se zde také těžilo dřevo. V roce 1922 však bylo zdejší území vyhlášeno parkem, a mohlo tak znovu zarůst. Roku 1967 bylo prohlášeno za arboretum a byl sem zakázán vjezd automobilům. Mezi druhy rostlin, které se v parku nachází, patří původní rostliny jako douglaska, jedlovec západní, zerav obrovský, olše, Acer macrophyllum, mahónie cesmínolistá, vonivka třešňová, pámelník, Holodiscus discolor, libavka shalon, Sambucus cerulea, brusnice drobnolistá, ostružník nutkajský a muchovník olšolistý. Mezi invazivní druhy v arboretu patří břečťan popínavý, brčál a pitulník žlutý. Reference V tomto článku byl použit překlad textu z článku Sehome Hill Arboretum na anglické Wikipedii.
Sehome Hill Arboretum

The Sehome Hill Arboretum is a public park in the Sehome neighborhood of Bellingham, Washington. It comprises 175.5 acres (71.0 ha) of second growth forest on Sehome Hill, adjacent to the campus of Western Washington University. Though called an arboretum, the hilly expanse atop Sehome Hill is not consciously planted as an exhibit of tree species, but naturally wooded and rich in the plant species (both native and nonnative) typical of the region. The arboretum is jointly managed by both the university and the city. Its care is overseen by the Sehome Hill Arboretum Board of Governors, composed of city employees, university employees, university students, and city residents. The park offers students and city dwellers over 5 miles (8 km) of public trails for walking and running and, in some areas, bicycling. Unique features of the park include an 80-foot (24 m) wooden observation tower atop Sehome Hill, with aerial views of Bellingham Bay to the south. There is also a large tunnel, hand cut into rock in 1923, originally used for car traffic in the early 1900s. Its tall, thin shape shows its creation for cars like Model T Fords of the day. Cars are no longer allowed in the tunnel and it is part of a trail along which hikers can walk. History In the 1850s, coal-mining claims were made on Sehome Hill and two coal scouts named Henry Hewitt and William Brown who were working for Henry Roeder's lumber mill found coal. The Bellingham Bay Coal Company was founded and began work in 1855. Tunnels are said to be laced through Sehome Arboretum but their exact locations and the tunnel's entrances are no longer known. Logging has taken place in the arboretum since the 1800s with operations ongoing as recently as 1906. The land became a park c. 1922 and an arboretum in 1974, with the closure of most of the park to automobiles. Native plants The Arboretum contains the following plant species: Trees Douglas Fir Western Hemlock Western Redcedar Alder Bigleaf Maple Vine Maple Shrubs Oregon-grape Indian Plum Snowberry Oceanspray Salal Blue Elderberry Red Elderberry Red Huckleberry Saskatoon Thimbleberry Invasive plants A number of invasive plants grow inside the arboretum, including: English Ivy Vinca sp.

Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist (Seattle)

The former Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist building, located in the Queen Anne Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington at the corner of 8th Avenue W and W Halladay Street, is an historic Christian Science church edifice. Built in 1926, it was designed by noted Seattle architect Harlan Thomas in the Neo-Byzantine, Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial styles. It consists of two parts joined together to form an ell: the 2-story main section containing the church auditorium (the term Christian Scientists use instead of sanctuary) and a one-story wing containing the Sunday School. The main section is square but each corner has been "flattened to form an irregular octagon. Recent history Due to declining membership and increased costs of maintaining the property, Seventh Church decided to sell the property in the late 1980s, but had no offers until 2006 when a developer offered to buy the property for redevelopment if the church could obtain a demolition permit from the city. The city did issue the permit in February 2007, but when neighbors appealed, a hearing examiner sent the permit back for further review. The property was then put on the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation's list of Most Endangered Historic Properties and the Queen Anne Historical Society spearheaded community efforts to find a buyer willing to preserve the property. The Seattle Church of Christ, a congregation of approximately 270, had looked at the property previously but had felt the then $2 million plus price was out its reach. With the price reduced to $1.6 million and Seventh Church agreeing to take a low down payment and to provide short term financing, Seattle Church of Christ was able to close on the property on August 31, 2007. Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist is now located at 1261 Madison Street in Seattle. Seattle Church of Christ has made short term improvements to shore up the property and has long range plans to restore it.
