Download or read book Seattle Parks Department Property Acquisition Records written by Seattle (Wash.). Department of Parks and Recreation and published by . This book was released on 1908 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Records include correspondence, memoranda, reports, deeds, property appraisals, architectural plans and other documents relating to the creation and development of recreational sites within Seattle's system of parks. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the park network began a phase of significant expansion of facilities on a level unseen since the 1920s. This growth was due in large part to an influx of funding from the federal Model Cities Program for urban development, as well as a $118 million Forward Thrust bond initiative that passed in 1968. The documents in this collection detail the planning, appraisal, acquisition, and maintenance of targeted properties prior to their development and public use as parkland. A majority of the records concern the negotiation with property owners for purchase of land, though smaller sections on structure demolition, relocation of businesses and inhabitants, and management of park-owned properties that are still occupied are also present. Notable subject sites include Carkeek Park, Occidental Square, Montlake Playfield, and Genesee Park. The records derive primarily from the period 1966 to 1975.

Download or read book Seattle in Coalition written by Diana K. Johnson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1999, the World Trade Organization (WTO) prepared to hold its biennial Ministerial Conference in Seattle. The event culminated in five days of chaotic political protest that would later be known as the Battle in Seattle. The convergence represented the pinnacle of decades of organizing among workers of color in the Pacific Northwest, yet the images and memory of what happened centered around assertive black bloc protest tactics deployed by a largely white core of activists whose message and goals were painted by media coverage as disorganized and incoherent. This insightful history takes readers beyond the Battle in Seattle and offers a wider view of the organizing campaigns that marked the last half of the twentieth century. Narrating the rise of multiracial coalition building in the Pacific Northwest from the 1970s to the 1990s, Diana K. Johnson shows how activists from Seattle's Black, Indigenous, Chicano, and Asian American communities traversed racial, regional, and national boundaries to counter racism, economic inequality, and perceptions of invisibility. In a city where more than eighty-five percent of the residents were white, they linked far-flung and historically segregated neighborhoods while also crafting urban-rural, multiregional, and transnational links to other populations of color. The activists at the center of this book challenged economic and racial inequality, the globalization of capitalism, and the white dominance of Seattle itself long before the WTO protest.

Download or read book Razing Kids written by Jeffrey C. Sanders and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are the future. Or so we like to tell ourselves. In the wake of the Second World War, Americans took this notion to heart. Confronted by both unprecedented risks and unprecedented opportunities, they elevated and perhaps exaggerated the significance of children for the survival of the human race. Razing Kids analyzes the relationship between the postwar demographic explosion and the birth of postwar ecology. In the American West, especially, workers, policymakers, and reformers interwove hopes for youth, environment, and the future. They linked their anxieties over children to their fears of environmental risk as they debated the architecture of wartime playgrounds, planned housing developments and the impact of radioactive particles released from distant hinterlands. They obsessed over how riot-riddled cities, War on Poverty era rural work camps and pesticide-laden agricultural valleys would affect children. Nervous about the world they were making, their hopes and fears reshaped postwar debates about what constituted the social and environmental good.
