Lake Sylvia State Park

Lake Sylvia State Park is a 233-acre (94 ha) state-operated, public recreation area in the northern part of Montesano in Grays Harbor County, Washington. The park is located in dense temperate rain forest. History The area was originally homesteaded in the late 1860s by Michael F. Luark, who built Grays Harbor County's first water-powered sawmill there in 1871. The present dam was built around 1909; its penstock (now mostly demolished) provided the power for a generator house alongside the creek, down below. The generator and lake provided power and water for Montesano into the early 1930s, when the powerhouse was dismantled. Elsie Wilder was almost certainly the only woman in the United States to operate a power plant in the 1920s. In 1931, the City of Montesano purchased the surrounding watershed for $12,000 (equivalent to $254,048 in 2025) to safeguard its primary water source. The property was deeded to Washington State Parks in 1936. The Legacy Pavilion, an open-sided pavilion with large stone fireplace, picnic tables and benches, was completed in 2020. The structure was designed by Will Foster and cost $1.1 million (equivalent to $1,368,458 in 2025) to construct. Ecology and environment The municipal watershed of Montesano lies above the head of the lake, at the eastern end of Lake Sylvia, and is accessible by foot through the park. The city watershed is managed very similarly to a national forest and serves as a corridor for wildlife to enter and leave the park and the northern parts of the town. The park is home to a mixed flock of mallard ducks and Canada geese. A family of ospreys, as well as occasional bald eagles, also occupy the lake area. There is also a small group of beavers living along Sylvia Creek, which flows from the lake. Park features Sylvia State park offers swimming, hiking, camping, fishing, and non-motored boating. The park also features an outdoor kitchen, picnic tables, ADA-accessible playground, and an event venue which can host up to 60 guests. Overnight camping is also available, with restrooms and showers facilities (some ADA-accessible).

Lake Washington High School

Lake Washington High School (LWHS) is a four-year public high school in Kirkland, Washington, a suburb east of Seattle. History and facilities Lake Washington opened as Kirkland High School (also called Union “A” High School) in 1922, the only high school in the area at the time. It was originally located northwest of downtown Kirkland at the site of Heritage Park. With the formation of the Lake Washington School District in 1944, the high school was given its present name. It moved to its present location in 1949, with doors opening in January 1950. The former building became the junior high and was later known as Terrace Hall; it burned in a spectacular fire in 1973. It was a National Blue Ribbon School in 1984-1985. Formerly a senior high school (grades 10–12), LWHS added freshman to its campus in August 2012, and its feeder junior high schools (Kirkland Junior High and Rose Hill Junior High) were converted to middle schools (grades 6–8). Mascot change LWHS's mascot was the Hornet until 1935, when it was changed to the Kangaroo. The mascot was changed after the district learned the students were calling themselves the "horny hornets". The district punished the students by making them choose a different mascot. The students selected kangaroos as a joke, believing the district would allow them to keep the hornet as their mascot.

Lava Glacier

Lava Glacier is located on the north slopes of Mount Adams a stratovolcano in Gifford Pinchot National Forest in the U.S. state of Washington. The glacier descends from approximately 10,000 ft (3,000 m) to a terminus near 7,800 ft (2,400 m). Lava Glacier has been in a general state of retreat for over 100 years and lost 74 percent of its surface area between 1904 and 2006. Lava Glacier was named by Harry Fielding Reid during his survey of Mount Adams' glaciers with C. E. Rusk in 1901. See also List of glaciers in the United States References
Re:Invent

re:Invent is a 37-story high-rise office building on the Amazon headquarters campus in Seattle, Washington, United States. It opened in 2019 and houses 5,000 employees as one of three major high-rise towers on Amazon's campus in the Denny Triangle neighborhood north of Downtown Seattle. History The site, located between the Amazon Spheres and Westlake Avenue, was formerly home to a Toyota car dealership that moved to SoDo in 2015. Unlike its neighboring towers, Doppler and Day One, construction of the third tower was delayed while the existing dealership building was re-used as a hub for Prime Now deliveries. The Prime Now hub was relocated to SoDo in October 2016 and construction on the third tower began the following month. The building opened in June 2019 and was named "re:Invent" for an annual cloud computing conference hosted by Amazon. It houses 5,000 employees, primarily working for the company's cloud computing platform, Amazon Web Services, and also has ground-level retail spaces. It includes a plaza with fountains and a bronze sculpture by Gerard Tsutakawa. One of the retail spaces in the building is an Amazon 4-star store that sells items rated four stars or higher. It opened in August 2019. A food hall operated by San Francisco-based China Live was announced to occupy 13,000 square feet (1,200 m2) of the building's retail space in February 2020, but was later delayed and ultimately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In November 2023, the Gage Academy of Art announced that it would move into the vacant ground-level retail space at re:Invent in mid-2024. The 14,000-square-foot (1,300 m2) facility will serve 3,000 students. Other retail spaces in the complex are filled by Glassybaby and record label Sub Pop's store. References
Pritchard Park

Pritchard Park is a 50-acre (20 ha) former Superfund environmental cleanup site on the shore of Bainbridge Island's Eagle Harbor in Washington state. The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial is within the park. History The Pacific Creosoting Company, later known as Wyckoff Company, occupied the site until the 1980s, and supported the community of Creosote. Government agencies estimate that 600,000 US gallons (2,300,000 L; 500,000 imp gal) of creosote still remain in the ground at the site, after more than $100 million in environmental remediation. Acquisition of the property was made by a partnership including Bainbridge Island Land Trust, Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park and Recreation District, the City of Bainbridge Island, the Suquamish Tribe, the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Community, and The Trust for Public Land. Purchase by City of Bainbridge Island was completed in early 2006. Naming The park is named for Congressman and Lieutenant Governor of Washington Joel Pritchard.

Camp North Bend

Camp North Bend, also known as Camp Waskowitz, is a 9+1⁄2 acre complex of wood-frame buildings. Constructed by and for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1935, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It is the only intact example of CCC work camp design and construction in King County, Washington. The site is now used by the Highline School District for an outdoor school program focused on environmental education. History The CCC was a federal emergency work program dedicated to the stewardship of America's natural resources which provided work for unemployed young men and used the enrollees to work on conservation projects. Managed by the United States Army, individual camps and work projects were directed by cooperating agencies. Camp North Bend was directed by the National Forest Service. Built in four months to house 200 men, CCC enrollees at this camp built roads, cleared brush, burned logging slash, fought forest fires, and planted trees. The men of the camp also built the North Bend Ranger Station. Camp North Bend is an example of standard CCC design, originally containing four barracks (two pairs connected by common latrines), officers’ quarters, a kitchen/mess hall, a recreation building, an infirmary, education building and other associated support service buildings (including a garage and worksheds). The camp is sited on the banks of the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River, east of North Bend, Washington. Camp North Bend was closed in 1942. It was later used by the King County Sheriff's Department as a youth recreation camp, when the camp was renamed Camp Waskowitz in honor of a former University of Washington football player killed in World War II. The camp was transferred to the Highline School District in 1958. Current uses Camp Waskowitz is currently operated by Highline Public Schools for their Environmental Learning Program. For some years, the National Association of CCC Alumni held its annual meeting at the camp. Other activities that have been held at Camp Waskowitz include free summer camps for young people with muscular dystrophy and related neuromuscular diseases and women's workshops in fishing, hunting, and outdoor skills References
Vincent School

The Vincent School, also known as Vincent Schoolhouse, was an early twentieth century schoolhouse in the rural community of Vincent, near Carnation, Washington, USA. Construction of the school began in 1905 and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The building is currently used as a community center. History The Vincent School is a one-story wood-frame structure. Originally 864 square feet (80.3 m2), a 576 square feet (53.5 m2) annex was added in 1919, which provided additional instructional space and room for the teacher to live. The original building is capped with a high-pitched front gable roof and a small bell tower. The bell tower was removed between 1932 and 1936, and then restored with the original bell in 1988. Initially, the schoolhouse was heated by wood-burning stove; later, an interior fireplace replaced it. In the 1930s, a Works Progress Administration project built a small outbuilding to provide lavatories for the children. The schoolhouse was built by the community in 1905, a one-room schoolhouse that served all grade levels. Teachers were generally hired for 2–3 months at a time during seasons when children could be released from farm responsibilities. Between 1914 and 1919, an average of 22 pupils attended the school. The school closed in 1942, and has been used by the Vincent Community Club since. The Vincent School was the primary public building in Carnation for approximately 98 years. References External links
ГЕС H M Jackson

ГЕС H M Jackson — гідроелектростанція у штаті Вашингтон (Сполучені Штати Америки). Використовує ресурс із річки Султан, правої притоки Skykomish, яка у місті Еверетт впадає до затоки П'юджет-Саунд (пов’язана з Тихим океаном через протоку Хуан-де-Фука). У 1962 році річку перекрили греблею Culmback, виконаною як кам’яно-накидна споруда із глиняним ядром висотою 61 метр, котра накопичувала воду для подальшого використання в системі водопостачання міста Еверетт. Остання також включала розташовану нижче по течії невелику водозабірну греблю, котра спрямовувала ресурс у прокладені по правобережжю тунель довжиною понад 3 км та водовід довжиною 0,6 км, що завершувались у регулюючому резервуарі Lake Chaplain. А у 1980-х роках на основі греблі Culmback створили гідроенергетичну схему, цікавим способом зв’язану із системою водопостачання. Споруду наростили до висоти 80 метрів при довжині 195 метрів та товщині по гребеню 8 метрів. Тепер вона утримувала збільшене водосховище Спада-Лейк з площею поверхні 7,6 км2 (до 8 км2 під час повені) та об’ємом 189 млн м3 (корисний об’єм 74 млн м3). Зі сховища через лівобережний масив проклали дериваційний тунель довжиною 6,4 км з діаметром 3,7 метра, який переходить у водовід довжиною 5,9 км та діаметром 3 метри. Вони виходять до машинного залу, розташованого на лівому березі Султан за 19 км нижче по течії від греблі, та за 8 км нижче від водозабірної споруди системи водопостачання. Машинний зал обладнали чотирма турбінами – двома типу Пелтон потужністю по 47,5 МВт, розрахованими на використання напору у 305 метрів та двома типу Френсіс потужністю по 8,4 МВт, котрі працюють при напорі у 206 метрів. Така різниця в напорах пояснюється тим, що відпрацьована меншими турбінами вода не скидається у річку, а потрапляє до водоводу довжиною 5,6 км, який йде вверх по правобережжю річки до регулюючого резервуару Lake Chaplain. Таким чином, призначений для системи водопостачання ресурс проходить транзитом через машинний зал, дозволяючи використати для виробництва електроенергії перепад висот між озером Спада та Lake Chaplain. Ще однією особливістю створеної системи є можливість подачі води у реверсному режимі від Lake Chaplain до водозабірної греблі з метою її випуску у річку. Це дозволяє виконати природоохоронні вимоги нової ліцензії щодо забезпечення мінімальної природної течії по руслу нижче від водозабірної греблі.

ГЕС Горж

ГЕС Горж — гідроелектростанція у штаті Вашингтон (Сполучені Штати Америки). Знаходячись після ГЕС Діабло, становить нижній ступінь каскаду на річці Скагіт, яка дренує західний схил Каскадних гір та впадає до затоки П'юджет-Саунд (пов'язана з Тихим океаном через протоку Хуан-де-Фука). У 1920-х роках річку перекрили малою – висота біля 3 метрів – водозабірною греблею, яку в 1961-му замінили бетонною арковою спорудою висотою 91 метр та довжиною 204 метри. Вона утримує водосховище з площею поверхні 1 км2 та об’ємом 10,1 млн м3. В 1924-1929 роках станцію обладнали трьома турбінами типу Френсіс, дві з яких мали потужність по 24 МВт, а ще одна – 26,4 МВт. У 1951-му до них додали четверту турбіну того ж типу потужністю 60 МВт. Наразі загальний показник модернізованої станції становить 207 МВт. Ресурс до машинного залу подається через прокладений під лівобережним масивом тунель довжиною 3,2 км з діаметром 6,2 метра, що дозволяє створити напір у 108 метрів. Примітки
ГЕС Свіфт 2

ГЕС Свіфт 2 — гідроелектростанція у штаті Вашингтон (Сполучені Штати Америки). Знаходячись між ГЕС Свіфт 1 та ГЕС Yale, входить до складу каскаду на річці Lewis, яка дренує західний схил Каскадних гір та впадає праворуч до Колумбії (має устя на узбережжі Тихого океану на межі штатів Вашингтон та Орегон). Відпрацьована на станції Свіфт 1 вода потрапляє у прокладений по правобережжю канал, який веде до машинного залу Свіфт 2. Оскільки при цьому відсутні додаткові водозабори, обидві ГЕС працюють в однаковому режимі. Канал має довжину 5 км, площу водного дзеркала 0,4 км2 та потребує для свого заповнення 3 млн м3 води. В 2002-му у ньому утворився провал до лавового тунелю, що призвело до аварії із затопленням машинного залу. Відновлювальні роботи тривали чотири роки та включали спорудження у руслі первісного каналу нової облицьованої бетоном споруди. Основне обладнання станції Свіфт 2 становлять дві турбіни типу Френсіс потужністю по 35 МВт, які використовують напір у 34 метри. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 230 кВ. Примітки
Leverich Park

Leverich Park is a 33-acre (130,000 m2) park located in Vancouver, Washington. It is located along Burnt Bridge Creek in a natural area of Vancouver adjacent to Interstate 5. The park features a large picnic shelter, picnic tables, plenty of hiking trails and a twelve-hole Disc golf course. History The park is north of 39th St., E. of Pacific Highway, and the state of Washington's oldest Blue Star Memorial Highway marker and L-shaped area of about 33 ½ acres, lying partly within and just north of the city limits, was deeded to the city for park purposes by Mrs. Anna Leverich. It was established as a municipal park in 1931 and in the same year an obelisk was erected and a Douglas fir planted by the bicentennial celebration of George Washington’s birth. In accordance with the terms of the deed, the natural environment of the area has been preserved as much as possible. Burnt Bridge Creek, branches out among low hills with small groves of native firs, deciduous trees, and occasional cedars. The construction of Interstate 5 through Vancouver in the late 1950s split the park separating the obelisk, the Covington House historic cabin and Kiggins Bowl from the rest of the park. Disc Golf In 2008 a twelve-hole disc golf course was added to the park. The course was the result of a cooperative effort between Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation, Vancouver-Clark Disc Golf and Stumptown Disc Golf.
