Brightwater Treatment Plant

Brightwater is a regional sewage treatment plant in south Snohomish County, Washington, United States. It serves parts of the Seattle metropolitan area and was opened in 2011. The plant construction and associated tunneling were a five-year megaproject costing $1.8 billion. Site description Brightwater is a 114-acre (46 ha) facility at the intersection of State Route 9 and State Route 522 north of Woodinville. The plant itself occupies 114 acres (46 ha); the remainder of the property is used for stormwater treatment and environmental mitigation such as constructed wetlands and stormwater retention. Tunnel A 13-mile (21 km), 17.5-foot-diameter (5.3 m) tunnel was built by several tunnel boring machines from the treatment plant to a marine outfall nearly due west on Puget Sound. The outfall is 600 feet (180 m) below the surface. Construction delays were incurred due to unexpected soil conditions causing damage to the boring machines. The problems with the Brightwater tunnel were considered when planning other large regional tunnel projects, including the Link light rail Capitol Hill tunnel and the Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel. The tunnel was completed in 2011, and full use of the outfall began on November 2, 2012. History In August 2002, then King County Executive Ron Sims announced that a billion-dollar regional sewage-treatment plant named "Brightwater" would be built in neighboring Snohomish County and provide service for parts of King and Snohomish counties. It would help ease demand on South and West Point Treatment Plants. Controversies Since its proposal, Brightwater has been the subject of numerous lawsuits, including a lawsuit by King County against Snohomish County that was settled when King County agreed to pay $70 million for public safety, habitat protection, and parks in Snohomish County. The project has also had many cost overruns, totaling over $272 million. In December 2006, the project had resolved all its lawsuits and only needed building permits from Snohomish County. However, concerns remain over the siting of the project, both from its future neighbors worried about the smells associated with sewage treatment and geologists due to at least one active fault line running through the site, and concerns over whether a new plant was necessary when eliminating stormwater and wastewater from the sewage system. King County countered these concerns by stating the plant will feature advanced odor control, 40 acres (16 ha) of wildlife habitat will be restored, the plant has been designed to withstand a 7.3-magnitude earthquake, and that the project will be paid by new customers. Public art The Brightwater plant includes 15 works of public art. The $4.4 million acquisition was funded through the county One Percent for Art construction setaside program.

Bow Lake (SeaTac, Washington)

Bow Lake is a small lake in SeaTac, Washington, United States. It is located next to Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, just across Route 99. The lake has played a key role in the airport's history, and the airport was originally named for it. Due to rapid urbanization and alteration of the lake's watershed, water quality has deteriorated significantly. A major drinking water pipeline runs near the lake. Geography Bow Lake is one of several small lakes in the region, including Lake Burien and Angle Lake. These lakes formed as glaciers retreated during the Last Ice Age, and are spring-fed. Native Americans used these lakes for fishing and hunting waterfowl. Before the airport was built, the area around the lake was largely rural. It is now heavily urbanized, and is surrounded by airport hotels and a retirement community. Seattle–Tacoma International Airport Seattle–Tacoma International Airport was built in the early 1940s, in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into World War II. A site for SeaTac airport near Lake Sammamish was initially preferred., but the nearby Cascade Range posed safety issues. At that time, Bow Lake was located in an undeveloped area, with only a small private airfield. Monetary incentives from Tacoma and Pierce County ultimately helped sway the decision, despite warnings of heavy fog at the site. This included a $100,000 contribution from the city of Tacoma. Pollution In 1997, King County, the Port of Seattle, the city of SeaTac and the city of Des Moines conducted an extensive study of Des Moines Creek and its watershed, which includes Bow Lake. It found that Bow Lake has very poor water quality, polluting Des Moines Creek downstream. Nutrient concentrations are high, leading to toxic algal blooms. This causes dissolved oxygen levels to decline significantly, which is harmful to aquatic ecosystems. Fecal coliform levels are high. Development near the airport has led to a large impervious area that drains into the lake, harming its water quality. Pumpkinseed sunfish and largemouth bass have been found in the lake. Bow Lake Pipeline Before the 1950s, there were three pipelines that brought drinking water to Seattle from the Cedar River watershed and Lake Youngs. The fourth pipeline, known as Cedar River Pipeline Number Four or the Bow Lake Pipeline was built to provide a direct supply of water from Lake Youngs to the area near the airport. Previously, water was pumped into a reservoir (not Bow Lake itself) from West Seattle, which was straining the water system there. The new pipeline entered service in 1954, and supplies the airport area and West Seattle. Bow Lake Recycling and Transfer Station King County's largest recycling transfer station is located near Bow Lake, next to Interstate 5. The station sorts incoming recyclable materials for reprocessing, and sends waste to the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill. References
Broadmoor Golf Club, Seattle

Broadmoor Golf Club is a private golf club in the northwest United States in Seattle, Washington, founded in 1924 and opened for play in April 1927. It is located in the Broadmoor neighborhood of Seattle, just south of the University of Washington and west of Lake Washington. Broadmoor is a tribute to designer/builder A. Vernon "Mac" Macan, a leading golf course architect of the time. Born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1882, Macan was a highly educated man, attending Shrewsbury and studying law at Trinity College. In 1908, Macan emigrated to Canada, and was the architect for many golf courses in British Columbia and the northwestern U.S., including Royal Colwood, Inglewood, Fircrest, Columbia Edgewater, Hillcrest, and Colwood National. Golf history hosted at Broadmoor over the years includes the $10,000 Seattle Open in 1945 with Byron Nelson, Jug McSpaden, Ben Hogan, and Sam Snead. Nelson took the tournament with a new world's record of 259 for 72 holes, 21 under par, and a victory margin of thirteen strokes. He won a record eighteen tournaments in 1945, including eleven consecutive. In 1952 at the LPGA Tour's Seattle Weathervane tournament, Betsy Rawls bested Babe Zaharias. In 1954, the 52nd Western Amateur brought Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, and Phil Harris to the course. In 1961, Broadmoor hosted the 13th annual U.S. Girls' Junior and the revival of the Seattle Open, where Dave Marr shot a final round 63 (–7) and birdied the first playoff hole to win. With the Seattle World's Fair, the Seattle Open in September 1962 attracted Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, Tony Lema, Ken Venturi, Dave Hill, Julius Boros, Doug Sanders, along with Hollywood stars Bob Hope, James Garner, Don Cherry, Dennis Morgan and Phil Crosby, and a crowd of 6,000 for the pro-am. The tournament was won that year by 22-year-old rookie Jack Nicklaus, his second victory as a professional, following his playoff win over Palmer at the U.S. Open in June. Nicklaus had won $50,000 in the exhibition World Series of Golf the week before, and won in Portland the following week for his third tour title. The Seattle Open was held for the last time at Broadmoor in 1964 and Billy Casper claimed the winner's circle; the tournament continued for two more years, at Inglewood and Everett. The U.S. Women's Amateur in 1974 brought winner Cynthia Hill (of the Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado), Nancy Lopez, and Amy Alcott. More recently, Broadmoor hosted the Pac-10 championship in 1989 and 1999, when Paul Casey of Arizona State lowered the course record to 60 (–10). The current record was set sixteen years later in 2015 by Seattle native Fred Couples, with a round of 59 (–11) in August. References External links Official website
Brooks Memorial State Park

Brooks Memorial State Park is a public recreation area in the southern Cascade Mountains located eleven miles (18 km) northeast of Goldendale, Washington. The 682-acre (276 ha) state park features nine miles (14 km) of hiking and equestrian trails through ponderosa pine forest along a prong of the Little Klickitat River as well as camping, picnicking, wildlife viewing, and an environmental learning center, the Brooks Memorial Retreat Center. The park also contains a disc golf course in the forest that was established in 2017. History The park was established after the state acquired six parcels of land between 1944 and 1957. The park was named in honor of Judge Nelson B. Brooks (1858-1928), a local administrator who was noted for establishing and improving roads in Klickitat County in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Shady Acres Airport

Shady Acres Airport (FAA LID: 3B8) is a privately owned, public-use airport located 3 miles southeast of Spanaway, Washington. The airport is an airpark, and it features homes with aircraft hangars parked at the airport. The airport is located hear the Seattle Class B airspace as well as the Class D airspace for Joint Base Lewis McChord as well as Fort Lewis Army Base. History The idea for the community was launched in the late 1950s by a group who met at the Pierce County Airport (Thun Field). The airport was officially established in 1962 as one of the first airpark communities in Washington State. The airport originally sat on 40 acre parcels divided into 2.5 acre parcels for pilots to build homes and hangars. The airport has been controversial for advocating for the closure of Meyers Road, south of the airport. Airport owners have argued that, in order to extend the runway, it's easier to close the road than to tunnel the road underneath a longer runway. Facilities and aircraft The airport has one runway designated as 16/34. It measures 1800 x 20 ft (549 x 6 m) and is paved with asphalt. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2019, the airport had 42 aircraft operations per week, or 504 per year. It was entirely general aviation. For the same time period, there are 21 aircraft based on the field, all single-engine airplanes. There was a fire at the airport in September 2022 that damaged 2 hangars. At least one aircraft was in the hangars at the time of the fire, and the hangar was a complete loss. Accidents and incidents On February 18, 1996, a Piper PA-23 Apache sustained substantial damage during a runway overrun at Shady Acres. The pilot reported the aircraft failed to slow down after application of wheel brakes, so the pilot left the pavement onto grass in the hopes the added drag would help the plane stop. After the pilot departed the pavement, the aircraft went over an embankment after slowing to approximately 10 MPH and collided with trees. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the failure of the pilot to use all available runway, including the overrun area, to stop the airplane. Factors relating to the accident were the wet runway, and the pilot's inability to see the overrun from the runway due to the sloping terrain. On October 23, 2019, a Vans RV 6 was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power after takeoff from Shady Acres Airport. The pilot reported that the initial taxi and run-up were normal. However, halfway throughout the initial take-off roll, the engine sputtered and the pilot aborted the takeoff. Subsequent run-up and take-off were normal. As the airplane ascended through 260 ft above ground level, the engine began to sputter and, shortly after, the engine lost all power. The pilot initiated a forced landing to an open field near the airport. On October 17, 2020, an aircraft on a training flight landed in a parking lot due to an engine failure immediately after takeoff from Shady Acres. See also List of airports in Washington References
Willapa Harbor Airport

Willapa Harbor Airport (FAA LID: 2S9) is a public/civil-use airport located 2 mi (3.2 km) northwest of Raymond, Washington, United States.

Buckhornská divočina

Buckhornská divočina (angl. Buckhorn Wilderness) je 179 km² rozlehlé horské chráněné území na severovýchodě Olympijského poloostrova v americkém státě Washington. Své jméno dostala po hoře Buckhorn Mountain, která se tyčí do výšky 2 133 metrů nad mořem, a leží při východní hranici Olympijského národního parku. Administrace Divočina byla založena v roce 1984 a je největší z pěti divočin, které obléhají Olympijskou divočinu v Olympijském národním parku. Divočinu řídí lesní správci obvodu Hoodova kanálu, kteří spadají pod Olympijský národní les. Geografie Nejnižší nadmořské výšky v divočině se nachází při dolních tocích jejích hlavních odtoků. U řeky Big Quilcene to je 750 m n. m., u řeky Dungeness 820 a u potoka Townsend Creek až 1000 metrů nad mořem. Nejvyšším bodem je 2 176 metrů vysoká hora Mount Fricaba, která leží na západní hranici divočiny, které je také východní hranicí Olympijského národního parku. Nejvyšší hora, která leží celá na území divočiny, je Buckhorn Mountain, která měří 2 133 metrů. Důležitou historickou památkou v divočině je opuštěný měděný Tubalkainův důl. Ekologie Divočina leží ve srážkovém stínu Olympijského pohoří, což znamená, že je zde sušší klima. Přesto jsou nížinné lesy (pod 1 200 metrů nad mořem) zarostlé starými zeravy obrovskými, jedlovci západními a douglaskami. V lesích také rostou houby a mechy, mezi další rostliny patří oplopanax horridus, libavka shalon a ostružiník nutkajský. Nad 1 800 metry převažuje tundra, jelikož zdejší klima už tolik suché není. Přesto některé svahy, jako například jižní svah hory Buckhorn Mountain, jsou nad hranicí lesa polopouštní díky rychle se vysušujícím půdám, vystavení světelnému záření a nízkým srážkám v letních měsících.

Buckhorn Wilderness

The Buckhorn Wilderness is a 44,319-acre (17,935 ha) mountainous wilderness area on the northeastern Olympic Peninsula in Washington, USA. Named after Buckhorn Mountain (6,988 ft or 2,130 m), the wilderness abuts the eastern boundary of Olympic National Park which includes nearby Mount Constance (7,756 ft or 2,364 m), Inner Constance (7,667 ft or 2,337 m), Warrior Peak (7,320 ft or 2,230 m), and Mount Deception (7,788 ft or 2,374 m). History In 1984, the U.S. Congress established five wilderness areas within the Olympic National Forest: Buckhorn Wilderness Colonel Bob Wilderness Mount Skokomish Wilderness The Brothers Wilderness Wonder Mountain Wilderness Buckhorn Wilderness is the largest of the five, all of which sit on the eastern flank of the Olympic Wilderness within Olympic National Park. Buckhorn Wilderness is administered by the Hood Canal Ranger District of the Olympic National Forest. Geography The lowest elevations of the Buckhorn Wilderness are found in the lower parts of the three principal drainages: 2,470 feet (750 m) at the Big Quilcene River, 2,700 feet (820 m) at the Dungeness River, and 3,300 feet (1,000 m) at Townsend Creek. The highest point in the wilderness is 7,139 feet (2,176 m) at the summit of Mount Fricaba, which lies on the western boundary of the wilderness area, shared by Olympic National Park. The tallest peak entirely within the wilderness is Buckhorn Mountain at 6,988 feet (2,130 m). A notable historical site in the Buckhorn Wilderness is the Tubal Cain mine. Ecology The wilderness lies within the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, resulting in a relatively drier climate. Despite this, the lowland forests (below about 4,000 feet (1,200 m)) are still dominated by stands of old-growth western red cedar, western hemlock, and Douglas fir, in addition to numerous understory organisms such as devil's club, salal, thimbleberry, fungi, and mosses. Above about 6,000 feet (1,800 m), alpine vegetation prevails where conditions are not too dry. Some slopes, such as the south side of Buckhorn Mountain, are rather arid above tree line due to fast-draining soils, sunny exposure, and low precipitation in the summer months. Recreation More than 54 miles (87 km) of trails provide access to the wilderness for backpacking, horseback riding, mountain climbing, hunting, hiking, camping, viewing wildlife, and fishing.

Buckner-Gletscher

Der Buckner-Gletscher liegt am Südhang des Buckner Mountain im North Cascades National Park im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Der Gletscher ist etwa 0,70 mi (1 km) lang und wird auf der Hälfte seiner Länge in zwei geteilt. Der obere Abschnitt fließt von 8.400 ft (2.560 m) auf 7.500 ft (2.286 m) und der untere Abschnitt von etwa 6.800 ft (2.073 m) auf 6.300 ft (1.920 m) Höhe herab. Der Buckner Mountain liegt zwischen dem Gletscher und dem weitaus größeren Boston-Gletscher im Norden. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Buckner Glacier. In: Geographic Names Information System.

Buckner Glacier

Buckner Glacier is located on the south slope of Buckner Mountain, North Cascades National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. The glacier is approximately .70 mi (1.13 km) in length and is split in two mid-distance along its course. The upper section descends from 8,400 to 7,500 ft (2,600 to 2,300 m) and the lower section lies from approximately 6,800 to 6,300 ft (2,100 to 1,900 m). Buckner Mountain is situated between the glacier and the much larger Boston Glacier to the north. See also List of glaciers in the United States References
Cable Bridge

The Cable Bridge, officially called the Ed Hendler Bridge and sometimes called the Intercity Bridge, spans the Columbia River between Pasco and Kennewick in southeastern Washington as State Route 397. It was constructed in 1978 and replaced the Pasco–Kennewick Bridge, an earlier span built in 1922 and demolished in 1990. The bridge is one of seven major bridge structures in the Tri-Cities area. The Blue Bridge (another Pasco/Kennewick bridge), the Interstate 182 Bridge that connects Pasco with Richland, the U.S. Highway 12 bridge over the Snake River (Pasco/Burbank), and three railroad bridges are the others. However, the Cable Bridge is the only bridge that carries traffic that is not a freeway. It was dedicated on September 8, 1978, and was inaccurately claimed to be the first major cable-stayed bridge to be built in the United States (and second-longest of its kind in the world at the time) but was built after the Sitka Harbor Bridge, constructed in 1971. It was constructed almost entirely of prestressed concrete, beginning with the towers and followed by the bridge deck, which was cast in individual segments, raised up and secured to each other. The bridge was named after Ed Hendler, a Pasco insurance salesman, as well as the city's former mayor, who headed up the committee responsible for obtaining the funding for construction of the bridge. Hendler died in August 2001. A controversial feature of the bridge was added in 1998, when lights were added to illuminate the bridge at night. Many thought this was unnecessary and a waste of both electricity and money. During a power crisis in 2000, the lights were turned off, but they were turned on for one night to honor Hendler's passing. Now the lights are turned on at night, and turned off at 2 am. In March 2007, the old guardrail system on the bridge, which consisted of steel cables, was replaced with a more rigid system, consisting of steel rails bolted to the original system's mounts on the bridge deck. The bridge as a status symbol The Cable Bridge, from the time of its opening, is considered a landmark and symbol of the Tri-Cities. Every winter, an event known as the Lampson Cable Bridge Run, including mile, five-kilometer, and 10-kilometer foot races, starts at the Kennewick end of the bridge near the Lampson International headquarters. All three share the same starting line. The five- and 10-kilometer events share an indoor finish line at the Lampson Maintenance Shop, while the 1-mile has its own outdoor finish. At the foot of the Kennewick end is the Tri-Cities Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which has engraved on it the names of the area's dead. The remaining pier of the old Pasco–Kennewick bridge, which was replaced by the Cable Bridge, now serves as a scenic lookout, from which one can view the more recent bridge. The bridge's sodium vapor lights are planned to be replaced with programmable LEDs that would be able to change color for special events. References
Calvary Cemetery (Seattle)

Calvary Cemetery is a Roman Catholic cemetery in the Ravenna/Bryant neighborhood in Seattle, Washington, United States. Dedicated on December 1, 1889, it is situated on the southwest slope of a hill overlooking University Village, about a mile (1.6 km) northeast of the University of Washington.
