The Seattle Central Library is the flagship library of the Seattle Public Library system. The 11-story (185 feet or 56 meters high) glass and steel building in downtown Seattle, Washington was opened to the public on Sunday, May 23, 2004. Rem Koolhaas was the principal architect and Hoffman Construction Company of Portland, Oregon was the general contractor. The 362,987 square foot (34,000 m²) public library can hold about 1.45 million books and other materials, features underground public parking for 143 vehicles, and includes over 400 computers open to the public. Over 2 million individuals visited the new library in its first year. It is the third Seattle Central Library building to be located on the same site at 1000 Fourth Avenue, the block bounded by Fourth and Fifth Avenues and Madison and Spring Streets. The library has a unique, striking appearance, consisting of several discrete "floating platforms" seemingly wrapped in a large steel net around glass skin. Architectural tours of the building began on June 5, 2006.]]>

Federal agents have taken over an investigation into the destruction of two radio towers belonging to Everett radio station KRKO.

The towers were toppled early this morning (09/04/2009) and a group that practices ecoterrorism is laying claim to the act.

The toppled towers looked like a squashed Erector Set sitting in the farmlands of unincorporated Snohomish.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/toppling-of-krko-radio-towers-09-04-2009/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/toppling-of-krko-radio-towers-09-04-2009/ Fri, 04 Sep 2009 17:31:50 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/toppling-of-krko-radio-towers-09-04-2009/ 47.87534200 -122.07668400 <![CDATA[NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer (during conversion)]]>

NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer (during conversion)
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

Known as “America’s ship for ocean exploration” the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer is a new type of research vessel. 95 percent of the ocean is still unexplored—and the Okeanos Explorer is going to help change that. The ship will travel around the globe to map the seafloor and characterize largely unknown areas of the ocean. Interesting seafloor features can be discovered with the deep water multibeam sonar mapping system. Sites will be further explored with the ship’s Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), which can travel down to a depth of 6,000 meters. Images and high-definition video from the underwater vehicles will be sent from the vehicle to the ship to the shore in real-time. This technology is referred to as “telepresence.” The ship’s V-SAT, or very small aperture terminal, (housed in the ship’s giant golf-ball dome) is able to send this information through Internet2, a high-speed internet connection commonly used by Universities.

The Okeanos Explorer is the only NOAA ship to have a dedicated ROV. Although ROV’s have been used on other NOAA ships, they are typically removed at the end of a mission. Having a permanent ROV makes it easier to deploy at any time throughout the field season. On the Okeanos Explorer, there is an integrated control room for operating the ROV and run telepresence communication. Having the screens and computers permanently wired to the ship makes it more efficient to sustain long-term exploration in remote areas of the world.]]>

Ballard, WA resident Edith Macefield refused to sell her house to Clark Design Group LLC, which offered her as much as $1 million for her land in order to develop the Ballard Blocks shopping center. As a result, Clark was forced to design the building around her land. Her house was the inspiration for the house in the 2009 Pixar movie "Up".

Macefield died in 2007. She left her house and land to Barry Martin, the construction supervisor of Ballard Blocks whom Macefield befriended before she died in 2007. Her land is now owned by realtor Greg Pinneo, who plans to elevate the structure, use it as his company's office, and create a park underneath.]]>

Former Tulalip Backup Ammunition Storage Depot
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2009-07-06 13:04:18
Formerly Used Defense Site, ca. 1942-1949. Used for munitions storage and basic military training. Sold to the Tulalip Tribe of Indians in 1949, and now part of the Tulalip Reservation.

Site was used during WWII to train some troops in chemical warfare.

TULALIP, Wash. - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has halted excavation at an old chemical weapons storage site on the Tulalip Indian Reservation after four workers reportedly suffered effects from mustard gas buried there 60 years ago.

The four were briefly hospitalized Aug. 15, after they unearthed damaged cylinders and broken glassware that contained residue from mustard gas, phosgene and chlorine. They said they had smelled a strange odor and one said his eyes were stinging.

One container still had a bomb attached, said John McCoy, a spokesman for the Tulalip Tribes and a state legislator.

Guards have been stationed there and protective tents have been erected over the area to ensure nothing escapes into the air.

The old chemical weapons materials were found on the former Backup Ammunition Storage Depot, which was operated by the U.S. military until 1947. Less than a mile west of the Quil Ceda Village shopping area, it's one of more than 9,000 sites throughout the country the corps has decided should be cleaned because they were used by the military for training or storage.]]>

From the Seattle Times, 23 June, 2009:

The Army Corps of Engineers is lowering the water level stored behind the troubled Howard Hanson Dam after finding signs that water is moving through an earthen abutment "very fast," the agency announced this morning.

The dam, which provides flood protection for the Green River Valley cities of Kent, Renton, Auburn and Tukwila, has been under intense study since January, when engineers found several "anomalies" that suggested excessive amounts of water might be seeping through the right abutment and causing erosion.

Satsop Nuclear Power Plant ("Whoops")
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: jbottero
@ 2009-05-29 09:34:48
Satsop is known for the unfinished Satsop Nuclear Power Plant, a facility designed to house two 1250 megawatt pressurized water reactors. Construction of the Satsop Nuclear Power Plant began in 1977 and was halted in 1983 after a $961 million budget shortfall, leaving the plant 76% complete. The plant was maintained, ready for construction to be resumed, until 1994, when it was finally canceled. In 1995, a demolition plan was finalized that eventually turned the site into the Satsop Development Park.

Because of the controversy surrounding the construction and cancelation of the power plant, the facility is known locally as "Whoops", a play on its official acronym, WPPSS (Washington Public Power Supply System).]]>

The Olympia Brewing Company began brewing Olympia Beer at the Olympia Brewery in 1896 at the Tumwater Falls of the Deschutes River and continued until Prohibition. It was founded by Leopold Schmidt, a German immigrant living in Montana. After Prohibition ended, a new brewery was erected just upstream from the original.

As with many other regional breweries, ownership of this brewery eventually passed through several corporations including Pabst, G. Heileman, and Stroh's, until the brewery was eventually purchased by SABMiller. For a time, the Olympia brewery took over the brewing of other Pacific Northwest brands as their original breweries were closed one by one, including the Lucky Lager brewery in Vancouver, Washington, the Henry Weinhard's brewery in Portland, Oregon, and the Rainier Beer brewery in Seattle, Washington. Miller closed the Olympia brewery on July 1, 2003 citing the unprofitability of such a small brewery.]]>

This duo of locally owned no-frills burger joints is unmistakable: Just look for the neon mill hung over the door. The locations are hardly convenient, and the decor is uninspired, but the juicy patties they serve up -- with a quirky variety of trimmings -- make you soon forget everything but the tray in front of you. Locals swear by the Verde burger, with its Anaheim chiles and cheese. You might opt instead for the chunky blue-cheese burger with bacon.

Kayaker takes plunge over 180-foot Palouse Falls

It took Tyler Bradt four trips to Palouse Falls before he did it. He first laid eyes on the Southeastern Washington waterfall in March while on a trip from his home state of Montana.

"We just heard about it by word of mouth," Bradt said. "People just said, 'You should check out this waterfall in Eastern Washington.' "

His first impression? "It looks pretty runnable."

So, last Tuesday, he went over Palouse Falls, all 180-plus feet of it. In a kayak.
