CAN YOU PUT THAT ON FULLSCREEN
THERE YOU GO. GREAT. ALL RIGHT.
NEXT SLIDE. OKAY. WHAT WE ARE
GOING TO DO IS WALK YOU THROUGH
THE BASICS OF THE BUILDING, WH
WE ARE PROPOSING THE PURCHASE
PARTNERSHIP AS WELL AS USES FO
THE BUILDING TO SUPPORT
WATERFRONT OPERATIONS. THEN WE
WILL TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS.
BASIC INFORMATION, FIRST AND
FOREMOST ABOUT THE BUILDING,
BUILT IN 1925. IT IS CENTRALLY
LOCATED . IT IS LITERALLY THE
CENTRAL LOCATION ON OUR NEW
WATERFRONT PARK. IT IS
CURRENTLY OWNED BY THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON. IT IS THE ONLY
BUILDING . IF YOU REMEMBER THE
VIADUCT WHEN IT RAN ALONG AND
OVER THE BUILDING, THE STATE
PURCHASED IT AS PART OF THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE VIADUCT.
16,000 SQUARE FEET , A 4200
SQUARE-FOOT LOT. YOU CAN SEE TH
ZONING THERE. 85 FEET. IT HAS
AN EASEMENT THAT WAS PURCHASED
BY THE CO-CLAY COURT
CONDOMINIUMS. WHAT YOU CAN SEE
IN THE BACKGROUND. IT IS NOT
DEVELOPED ABOVE THE CERTAIN
SIZE. YOU CAN SEE HAS A TOTAL
OF FOUR STORIES , INCLUDING A
BASEMENT LEVEL THAT YOU CAN SEE
FROM THE STREET. NEXT SLIDE. S
GOING BACK TO THE ELLIOTT BAY
SEAWALL PROJECT. MANY OF YOU
RECALL THE YEARS OF WORK TO
DESIGN AND DEVELOP THE IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH A LOT OF
INTEREST IN THE COMMUNITY. THA
CENTRAL ONE, THE CENTRAL
PARTNERSHIP ON THAT PROJECT WA
WITH THE SUQUAMISH TRIBE. BOT
OF WHICH HAVE TREATY PROTECTIVE
RIGHTS TO THE WATER. ONE OF TH
KEY THINGS, WHICH WE AGREED TO
AS PART OF THAT WORK, IN THIS
CASE BEING THE SEATTLE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION,
AS PART OF THE SEAWALL PROJECT
THERE IS A WHOLE COAST OF
HABITAT ENHANCEMENTS THAT ARE
PROVIDED. I'M NOT GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THOSE AT LENGTH. IT'S
PART OF THE TRIBAL PARTNERSHIP.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT ELEMENT WAS
THAT THE CITY WOULD PROVIDE
SPACE FOR TRIBAL INTERPRETIVE
CENTER AS PART OF THE
WATERFRONT SEATTLE PROGRAM. WE
DIDN'T IDENTIFY LOCATION BECAUS
FRANKLY WE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE W
CAN DO THIS YET. BUT WE KNEW IT
WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO OUR
CULTURAL PARTNERSHIP TO CREATE
SPACE FOR REALLY GIVING THE
TRIBE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL
HER STORY TO BE PRESENT WITH U
ON THE WATERFRONT AND TO BE ABL
TO DO PROGRAMMING AND OTHER
THINGS DIRECTLY WITHIN THE
PROJECT. SO WE MADE THAT
COMMITMENT AS PART OF IT. I
WANT TO SAY THIS WAS IN 2013.
ANGIE BRADY, FEEL FREE TO JUMP
IN. MORE RECENTLY, DOING A
GOOD BIT OF WORK WITH THE STAT
TO LOOK AT OPTIONS FOR THIS
BAKUN BUILDING. THEY REALIZE
THEY NO LONGER NEEDED AFTER THE
VIADUCT WAS APPROVED . THE
CONTRACTOR ACTUALLY USED IT FOR
STAGING SPACE FOR QUITE SOME
TIME. WE REALIZED IT WOULD BE
GREAT LOCATION FOR THE TRIBAL
INTERPRETATION CENTER. SO WE
WENT TO THE TRIBE. WE HAD A
SERIES OF DISCUSSIONS AND WE
CAME TO A JOINT CONCLUSION THA
THIS WAS A GOOD FIT AND THE
TRIBE CONFIRMED FOR US THAT IF
WE WERE TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE FO
THE TRIBAL INTERPRETIVE CENTER
IT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE AND WOUL
MEET THE TERMS OF OUR
COMMITMENT. I SHOULD HAVE
MENTIONED THAT THIS PARTICULAR
PART OF THE SEAWALL IS ACTUALL
IN THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
. THIS IS PART OF OUR FEDERAL
APPROVALS AS WELL. FOR THE
PROJECT. THE OTHER KEY THING
THAT WE HAVE BEEN PLANNING FOR
MANY YEARS HIS WATERFRONT
OPERATIONS. WHY DON'T WE GO TO
THE NEXT SLIDE? AS PART OF THE
WATERFRONT PARK OPERATIONS WE
HAVE COMMITTED AND ARE EXCITED
TO NOW BE HIRING A DEDICATED
TEAM THAT WILL FOCUS ON ALL TH
ASPECTS OF THE PUBLIC SPACE TO
MAINTENANCE AND PUBLIC SAFETY ,
I HAVE A STRONG PARTNERSHIP WIT
FRIENDS AT WATERFRONT SEATTLE .
FOR THE TEAM TO REALLY WORK
WELL AND WILL A CULTURE WE WAN
AROUND THAT TEAM THEY NEED TO
HAVE A DEDICATED BASE. THEY NEE
TO HAVE A HOME BASE RIGHT ON
THE WATERFRONT. WE REALIZE THIS
BUILDING WOULD PROVIDE THAT. W
ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO ACHIEVE A
COUPLE OF GOALS HERE AT ONCE.
GETTING THAT INTERPRETIVE CENTE
AND ALSO CREATING A HOME BASE
FOR THAT DEDICATED STAFF AS
THEY DO THEIR WORK ON THE
WATERFRONT. THE GOOD NEWS IS
THE BUILDING, LIKE I MENTIONED,
16,000 SQUARE FEET. PLENTY OF
ROOM. WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE A
INTERPRETIVE CENTER THAT
EVERYONE FEELS GOOD ABOUT, AS
WELL AS ALL THE SPACE WE ARE
GOING TO NEED FROM THAT STAFF
RATED PART OF THE NEW
WATERFRONT. NEXT SLIDE. WE ARE
ACTUALLY FAR DOWN THE ROAD NOW
OF PLANNING OUT THE OPERATIONS
THE SEATTLE CENTER, THINKS THE
LEGISLATION THAT WAS ADOPTED
LAST YEAR, IS ADVANCING TO BE
THAT PARTNER. WE ARE PLANNING
TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY ON JUL
1st OF THIS YEAR. WE HAVE BEEN
DOING PRETTY EXTENSIVE HIRING.
THIS IS ALL BASED ON OUR ADOPTE
BUDGET FOR 2023 THROUGH 2025.
IT IS REFLECTED IN FUNDING THA
WAS PROVIDED AS PART OF THE
SEATTLE PARKS DISTRICT OF THE
NEW SPENDING PLAN FOR THE . ON
GETTING THAT PUT TOGETHER. YOU
CAN SEE THERE ARE DIFFERENT
POSITIONS THAT ARE BEING
CREATED. NEXT SLIDE. HERE IS
WHERE THE BAKUN BUILDING IS. IF
YOU CAN PICTURE IN OUR NEWS
THIS PAST WEEKEND, AND CONGRATS
TO THE TEAM FOR THAT MILESTONE
THIS IS PIKE STREET HILL CLIMB
COMING DOWN, CROSSING OVER TO
THE AQUARIUM , PIER 58, PIER 62
, AND YOU CAN SEE THE BAKUN
BUILDING JUST ON THE SOUTH SIDE
OF THAT. NEXT SLIDE. I'M NOT
GOING TO GO INTO A LOT OF
DETAILS. I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT.
THEY WILL BE THE GROUND FLOOR O
THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS A VERY
LARGE MEZZANINE SPACE ABOVE THE
GROUND FLOOR. THAT WILL BE TH
PRIMARY PIECE AS FAR AS OPEN
WINDOWS ON THE HILL CLIMB AND O
THE NEW SURFACE STREET , ALL OF
WHICH I THINK ARE GOING TO BE
GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO A
EXTENT TO SHOWCASE THE
INTERPRETIVE CENTER. AND THEN ,
THE WATERFRONT OPERATIONS WILL
BE IN THE BASEMENT PRIMARILY.
WE HAVE THE CREW QUARTERS,
BATHROOMS, BREAK ROOMS , ALL TH
THINGS WE NEED FOR THAT
OPERATIONS TEAM. AND ON THE TOP
FLOOR WE WILL HAVE OFFICE SPACE
FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THAT TEAM
CREW CHIEF , AND VARIOUS SUPPOR
STAFF FOR WATERFRONT OPERATIONS
THERE IS ALSO, IN THIS PINK
COLOR , KIND OF A SHARED SPACE
WHERE WE WILL HAVE A CONFERENCE
ROOM AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR
GATHERINGS AND EVENTS , WHICH
WILL BE AVAILABLE BOTH TO THE
CITY AND TO THE TRIBE AS PART
OF THE INTERPRETIVE CENTER.
TEAM, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I'
FORGETTING TO MENTION? OKAY.
WITH THAT I WILL HEAD OVER TO
OUR PARTNER , KAREN GRUEN. I
WILL SAY ONE MORE THANK YOU.
FAS HAS REALLY STEPPED UP IN
TAKING ON THIS PROJECT WITH US.
AND BRINGING ENORMOUS VALUE IN
TERMS OF THEIR EXPERTISE ON HO
TO ACTUALLY DELIVER A CITY
FACILITY. THANK YOU, KAREN.
>> THANK YOU, MARSHALL. THIS I
A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN
NUMBER OF CITY DEPARTMENTS . SO
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT ON THE
SCREEN IS THE DIFFERENT ROLES O
THE DIFFERET DEPARTMENTS. MY
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
CONDUCTED THE DUE DILIGENCE ON
THE BUILDING. IT WILL ACTUALLY
CLOSE ON THE TRANSACTION ,
ASSUMING THE COMMUNITY APPROVES
OF THE TRANSACTION. ONCE THE
CITY TAKES POSSESSION OF THE
BUILDING THE PROPERTY WILL BE
MANAGED BY FAS AS WELL FOR OUR
FACILITY OPERATIONS TEAM. AND
THEN WE HAVE A CAPITAL
DEVELOPMENT TEAM WHO WILL
OVERSEE THE CAPITAL PROJECT TO
RENOVATE AND IMPROVE THE SPACE
TO MAKE IT OCCUPY A BULL FOR TH
VARIOUS USES THAT MARSHALL
TALKED ABOUT. THE CITY TEAM AS
WELL AS THE TRIBE. THE S.TEAM
AND THE OFFICE OF WATERFRONT HA
ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED. THE
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT THAT WA
SIGNED WILL LEAD TO SDOT AND
THE WATERFRONT TEAM WORKING WIT
THE TRIBE TO COME UP WITH SPACE
PLANNING AS PART OF THIS
PROJECT. AND THEN SEATTLE
CENTER WILL STAFF AND MANAGE
THE WATERFRONT PARK WHILE BEIN
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANC
TEAM THAT WILL BE HOUSED WITHIN
THE FACILITY ONCE IT'S READY TO
GO. AND THE NEXT SLIDE SETS
FORTH THE FUNDING ESTIMATES AT
THIS POINT . WHAT WE KNOW SO FA
IS THAT, AGAIN, ASSUMING THAT
WE APPROVE THE ACQUISITION OF
THE BUILDING THE PURCHASE PRIC
IS APPROXIMATELY $8.7 BILLION.
THE BUDGET TOTAL IS $13 MILLION
IN THE BALANCE OF THAT WILL BE
SPENT ON BUILDING RENOVATIONS
SYSTEMWIDE. SO THROUGHOUT THE
BUILDING TO REPAIR AND REPLACE
THE COMEDIC ASIAN SYSTEMS, THE
ELEVATOR, THE FIRE PROTECTION
SYSTEMS. THAT WILL BE A FOUR
FLOOR PROJECT ESTIMATED AT 1.8
MILLION TO MAKE THE BUILDING
VIABLE. THERE'S ALSO $1 MILLION
IN THE PROGRAM FOR SEISMIC
UPGRADES. THERE'S ANOTHER $1
MILLION IN THE PROGRAM FOR THE
IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED FO
THE OPERATIONS TEAM THAT WILL
OPERATE OUT OF THE BUILDING. AN
THEN WE HAVE HALF $1 MILLION
FOR CONTINGENCY COSTS AND
CLOSING COSTS. THESE ARE HIGH
LEVEL ESTIMATES IN MAY OF 2023.
AS WE GET INVOLVED IN NEXT
STEPS, WHICH IS ON THE NEXT
SLIDE, THESE COSTS WILL MOVE
INTO -- FIRST, RIGHT NOW, WE
ARE ASKING FOR THE COMMITTEES
AND THE COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION
TO ACQUIRE THE BUILDING. WE
WILL PURCHASE IT FROM THE
WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION BY OR BEFORE
JUNE 30th OF THIS YEAR. AND FOR
THE REST OF THIS YEAR THE FAS
TEAM WILL BE IN COMMUNICATION T
DESIGN AND PERMIT TO DESIGN TH
CAPITAL PROGRAM AND OBTAIN TH
NECESSARY PERMITS. INTO 2024 WE
WOULD BEGIN CONSTRUCTION AND WE
ESTIMATE THAT WILL TAKE THE FUL
YEAR OF 2024. AT THE EARLY PAR
OF THE YEAR THE TEAM WILL WORK
WITH THE MUCKLESHOOT INDIAN
TRIBE ON SPACE PLANNING AND
MAKE THE TRIBAL INTERPRETIVE
SPACE. WE BELIEVE THE BUILDING
WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR OCCUPANCY
IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2025,
COMPLETE WITH THE ENTIRE PROGRA
TO INVEST IN THE BUILDING. WIT
THAT I THINK WE ARE READY FOR
QUESTIONS OR TO TURN IT BACK
TO THE CHAIR. THANK YOU.
>> KAREN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I
WANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD
THAT COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA HAS
JOINED THE MEETING. SHOULD WE
DO QUESTIONS NOW OR HOLD UNTIL
AFTER WE HEAR FROM THE CHAIRMA
AND VICE CHAIR STEPHENSON WERE
IN THE CHAMBERS? I THINK THAT
WOULD BE MY PREFERRED COURSE OF
ACTION. IF WE CAN TURN IT OVER
TO OUR REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE
MUCKLESHOOT TRIBE. WITH THAT I
WILL TURN IT OVER TO YOU,
CHAIRMAN, TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF
AND THE VICE CHAIRMAN , AND GE
INTO TALKING ABOUT THIS GREAT
PARTNERSHIP.

IS JASON ELKINS. I AM THE

YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR STAFF AND
THE WONDERFUL WORK THAT YOU DO.

MUCKLESHOOT TRIBE, WE WANT TO B
ACTIVE PARTNERS WITH THE CITY.
WE SHARE A LOT OF THE SAME GOAL
AND OBJECTIVES. WE JUST WANT TO
BE GOOD PARTNERS WITH EVERYBODY
MARSHALL, YOU HAVE BEEN WORKIN
WITH US FOR A LONG TIME. THANK
YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S BEEN SINCE
2003. WHEN DID THE SEAWALL
PROJECT START? OKAY. AS THE
ORIGINAL PEOPLE OF THESE LANDS
IT IS JUST THE BLINK OF AN EYE
WITHOUT SEEING MYSELF IN
MAINSTREAM SOCIETY WE HAVE BEE
PRETTY VISIBLE. AS A FISHERMAN
WHO FISHES THE LAKE WASHINGTON
SYSTEM , CEDAR RIVER, GREEN
RIVER , DUWAMISH, ELLIOTT BAY ,
LAKE UNION, ALL OF THESE
DIFFERENT PLACES . IT'S HARD TO
FIND REPRESENTATION WHEN WE
WERE GROWING UP. A LOT OF
FISHING THAT WE DO IS AT
NIGHTTIME. A LOT OF PEOPLE
REALLY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE
WERE DOING OUT THERE. AND IF
THEY DID SOMETIMES IT WAS A
NEGATIVE INTERACTION. A LOT OF
MY JOB AND DONNA'S JOB IS
EDUCATING PEOPLE . I BELIEVE
WITH THIS INTERPRETIVE CENTER
IN A PRIME LOCATION AT THE
WATERFRONT WE CAN BE
INNOVATIVE, WE CAN BE CREATIVE
AND WE CAN TELL OUR STORIES TO
WHOEVER WANTS TO LISTEN.
THROUGH THAT I THINK WE CAN AD
A LOT OF TEXTURE AND SOLD TO OU
CITY. WITH THAT BEING SAID MY
HANDS GO UP TO EVERYBODY HERE
AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK
THAT YOU DO. I WANT TO PASS THE
MICROPHONE OVER TO OUR VICE
CHAIRMAN.

ESPECIALLY THE WATERFRONT. IT
LIES DIRECTLY IN THE HEART OF
WHAT IS THE TRADITIONAL HOMELAN
OF THE MUCKLESHOOT PEOPLE. AND
THROUGH THIS PROJECT IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE C PROGRAM
TO BRING IT TO THE TABLE TODAY,
WE FEEL AS THOUGH WE FUND A
PARTNERSHIP THAT HAS HELPED US
TO RETAIN OUR RIGHTFUL PLACE
WITHIN THE CITY AND IDENTITY O
SEATTLE. I'LL BE SHORT AND
JUST THINK ALL INVOLVED. THIS
COMMITTEE AND THE COUNCILMEMBER
INVOLVED , THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP AND
COLLABORATION IN COMING
TOGETHER TO ALLOW US TO DO SO.
THEY HELPED TO GET US TO THIS

BEFORE I GET TO THE TRIBAL
LEADERSHIP PIECE , ANGIE AND
MARSHALL, THANK YOU. I KNOW
THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AT
LEAST SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE.
THANK YOU. IT'S BEEN A LOT OF
WORK BUT IT'S BEEN WORTH IT.
AND ALSO THANK YOU WITH THE
RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE HAD
WITH THE MUCKLESHOOT NATION AND
LEADERSHIP. DONNIE, I WAS
SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT YOU WER
GOING TO SAY A LOT. YOU'RE NOT
KNOWN FOR THAT. I'M GIVING YOU
HARD TIME. WE LEARNED A LOT AT
THE TRIBAL SUMMIT YESTERDAY.
THREE ISSUES WITH HOMELESSNESS,
PUBLIC SAFETY, AND CULTURAL
RESOURCES. THE WATERFRONT DID
COME UP. IT'S A WONDERFUL ASSE
TO THE CITY. WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON IT. IF YOU REMEMBER
BACK IN THE DAY, MARSHALL, AND
KNOW THE TRIBAL LEADERSHIP
REMEMBERS THIS AS WELL. WE
WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT THIS KIND
OF FOOTPRINT. WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT MAYBE A KIOSK. WE WERE AL
LIKE, THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
THESE ARE THE ANCESTRAL GROUNDS
THE UNSEEDED TERRITORY, AND THE
FISHING RIGHTS IN CUSTOM AREAS
FOR THE MUCKLESHOOT FOR THE
TREATY. FOR THE CITY OF SEATTLE
TO REMEMBER THAT AND MEMORIALIZ
THAT, BASICALLY PUT YOUR MONEY
WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS AND HAVE A
PHYSICAL RESINS, BRICK AND
MORTAR, FOR AN INTERPRETIVE
CENTER. WHICH A LOT OF CITIES
DON'T DO. THANK YOU TO CHAIR
LEWIS FOR HIS LEADERSHIP. WE
ARE NOT A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW.
YOU HAVE CERTAINLY DONE WELL. S
THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE REALLY
ARE HAPPY THAT , UNDER
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS'S
LEADERSHIP, THAT THE SEATTLE
CENTER WILL TAKE OVER THE
WATERFRONT AND DO THE MAGIC THA
YOU DO, MARSHALL, FROM THE
WATERFRONT TO SEATTLE CENTER.
YOU HAVE THE WATERFRONT BACK IN
YOUR PORTFOLIO AGAIN. THIS IS
GOING TO BE AMAZING. IT'S
CONTINUOUS. IT'S THAT MOMENTUM,
THAT LEADERSHIP. AND I HOPE TO
SEE THAT . AGAIN, WE RAISED OU
HANDS TO CHAIRMAN ELKINS AND
VICE CHAIR STEPHENSON. BECAUSE
KNOW THAT BEHIND THE SCENES THE
HAVE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD.
NOT ONLY WITH THE CITY OF
SEATTLE BUT WITH THEIR OWN
PEOPLE AND ELECTORATE. THEY ARE
ELECTED AS WELL. THEY KNOW THAT
THEY HAVE TO BALANCE AND PROVID
LEADERSHIP AND SHOW THE
MUCKLESHOOT NATION AND THEIR
RESIDENCE, THEIR CITIZENS ,
THEIR RELATIVES, THAT THEY ARE
MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR
CITY. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT
IN BETWEEN ME HAVING THIS
COMMITTEE AND COUNCILMEMBER
BACK SHOT HAVING THIS COMMITTEE
YOU HAD THIS COMMITTEE. WE ARE
PUTTING IN PLACE A LOT OF
INITIATIVES THAT YOU HAD HELPED
TO LEAN ON TO GET US TO THIS
PLACE. I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR
YOUR STEWARDSHIP OF THE
WATERFRONT. AND DEVELOPING A
LOT OF THESE PROJECTS WITH THE
TEAM HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> YOU KEPT US OUT OF LITIGATIO
AS WELL. SO THANK YOU.
>> TWO COUNCILMEMBERS THANKING
EACH OTHER AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN
LET COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA GE
IN YET. ANYWAY, IF THERE'S
ANYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO JUMP
IN AND ASK QUESTIONS. I COULD
JUMP IN AND ASK JUST A FEW. LIK
I SAID, WE DID HAVE
COUNCILMEMBER MOSQUEDA JOIN.
THERE ARE FOUR OF US PRESENT
TODAY. I'M NOT SEEING ANY HAND
. I WILL JUST JUMP IN AND SAY ,
AS WE LOOK AT PUTTING ALL OF
THESE PIECES TOGETHER ON OUR
WATERFRONT CAMPUS OF THE
OVERLOOK WALK , THE MARKET, THE
AQUARIUM EXPANSION , THE
PROTECTED BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN
INFRASTRUCTURE. NOW WE ARE
GOING TO BE IN A POSITION TO
HAVE THIS GREAT PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE MUCKLESHOOT TRIBE.
WHAT IS THE BROADER PROGRAMMING
ON THE ENTIRE WATERFRONT
LOOKING LIKE? THIS CAN BE BOT
FOR OUR GUESTS IN THE
MUCKLESHOOT TRIBE AS WELL AS
FROM THE WATERFRONT TEAM. HOW
DO WE ENVISION THE ACTIVATIONS
FROM THE BAKUN BUILDING
SPILLING OUT AND BEING A BROADE
PART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING IN
THIS PUBLIC SPHERE? FROM
LOOKING AT THE DIAGRAMS WE
LOOKED AT EARLIER WE WILL BE
MAKING A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS TO
THE BUILDING THAT IS
HISTORICALLY NOT VERY PROMINENT
IT HAS BEEN SHIELDED AND HELD
BACK . WE WILL NOW MAKE IT THE
OPPOSITE OF THAT. WE WILL MAKE
IT A COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDING.
BUILDING. WALK US THROUGH A
LITTLE BIT OF WHAT THOSE CHANGE
ARE GOING TO BE AND HOW SOON WE
CAN EXPECT TO SEE THEM. AND
MAYBE FOR MARSHALL FIRST. OR I
CAN TURN IT BACK OVER TO
CHAIRMAN ELKINS.
>> I CAN SAY LITTLE BIT ABOUT
IT. FROM WHAT I KNOW , WE HAVE
AN ARCHITECT WHO IS FAMILIAR
WITH THAT AREA THAT CAN HELP
MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH
EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND. DO YOU
WANT TO ADD TO THAT, DONNIE?
>> FROM A VISION STANDPOINT FOR
US IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO
ASSERT OUR IDENTITY . TO PLACE
OUR CULTURAL FOOTPRINT ON AN
AREA THAT WE CONSIDER VITALLY
IMPORTANT TO OUR PEOPLE AND
TRADITION. WE WANT IT TO BE
FRONT FACING. WE WANT IT TO BE
A HIGHLIGHT OF THE WATERFRONT.
WE WANT IT TO REPRESENT OUR
PEOPLE AND OUR CULTURE IN A WAY
THAT WE CAN BE ABSOLUTELY PROUD
OF. AND I THINK THE COMMITMENT
THAT THE TRIBE IS WILLING TO PU
FORWARD IS THAT THE BUILDING
ITSELF WILL BE A REPRESENTATION
OF WHO WE ARE. WE ARE VERY PROU
OF WHO WE ARE. I THINK THERE'S
A LOT OF DISCUSSION HAPPENING
BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. AT THE EN
OF THE DAY I ENVISION A
MUCKLESHOOT LONGHOUSE ON THE
SEATTLE WATERFRONT. WE WOULD
LOVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN.
>> MARSHALL, ANYTHING ELSE TO
ADD BEFORE WE MOVE ON?
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER. I
WILL ADD A FEW THOUGHTS. THAT I
EXACTLY THE SPIRIT WE ARE GOIN
INTO THIS WITH. WE HAVE HAD THE
BENEFIT OF SOME GOOD
PARTNERSHIPS ALREADY WITH THE
MUCKLESHOOT TO DO EVENTS. WE
HAVE HAD EARLY ART ELEMENTS THA
TOOK PLACE ON PIER 62. FRIENDS
OF WATERFRONT SEATTLE HAVE BEEN
WORKING CLOSELY WITH A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT TRIBES , INCLUDING
THE MUCKLESHOOT, TO BRING THAT
PROGRAMMING INTO THE SPACE AND
CENTER HOMECOMING. WHICH HAS,
FOR MANY YEARS, BEEN WITHOUT A
CLEAR, CONSISTENT HOME IN
SEATTLE. THEY NOW HAVE ONE AT
PIER 62. SO NOW, HAVING THE
MUCKLESHOOT TRIBE AS A NEIGHBOR
AND A PARTNER IN SPACE WITH US
, THOSE PARTNERSHIPS ARE GOING
TO GROW. THEY'RE GOING TO GET
MORE NATURAL . I'M JUST EXCITED
TO SEE WHERE IT GOES. I DON'T
THINK WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE
WILL ALL GO. BUT I THINK WE KNO
WE ARE CREATING AN DOUBLE SPACE
IS ALL AROUND THIS NEW
INTERPRETVE CENTER. OUR HOPE IS
THAT THE INTERPRETIVE CENTER IS
THE STARTING POINT THAT
EVERYTHING CAN GROW OUT FROM AN
SORT OF BE THAT PROGRAMMING
PARTNER TO THE CITY.
>> RATE.
>> I DON'T HAVE ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS FOR THE PANEL AND I
DON'T SEE COLLEAGUES INDICATING
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. WITH THAT I'M GOING
TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE CB 120548

APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
RECEIVED FOR CURRENT USE
TAXATION UNDER A WASHINGTON
STATE PROGRAM. THE PROGRAM IS
INTENDED TO SUPPORT OPEN SPACE
RESERVATION ON PRIVATELY OWNED
PROPERTY BY REDUCING PROPERTY
TAXES FOR THOSE PROPERTIES.
THEY ARE COMMITTED TO LONG-TERM
OR PERMANENT OPEN SPACE. OPEN
SPACE FOR FARMLAND AND LANDMARK
ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER THE SYSTEM .
IT REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING
FROM BOTH KING COUNTY AND THE
SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL , AND THE
KING COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE
SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL NEED TO
APPROVE THE APPLICATIONS FOR
THE PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION USED

CONSIDERING THIS IN A WEEK OR
SO. -- SHEPHERDS THE PROGRAM
FOR THE KING COUNTY DEPARTMENT
OF NATURAL RESOURCES. BOTH
APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN
SUBMITTED BY A NONPROFIT THAT
SUPPORTS COMMUNITY GARDENING
AND SEATTLE'S PATCH PROGRAM.
THESE PROPERTIES ARE OWNED BY
GROW AND USED UNDER THE
DEPARTMENT OF NEIGHBORHOODS .
THESE ARE SORT OF A PUBLIC,
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WHERE THE
CITY -- BUT GROW OWNED THE
PROPERTY. THE FIRST ONE IS
LOCATED IN THE WESTERN PORTION
OF THE FREMONT NEIGHBORHOOD.
THE CORNER OF 42nd AND BAKER
AVENUE NORTHWEST. THE
APPLICATION IS TO MAINTAIN THE
PATCH AS OPEN SPACE. THERE IS A
EASEMENT THAT HAD BEEN GRANTED
BY GROW TO THE CITY OF SEATTLE
THAT REQUIRES THE PROPERTY TO
BE HELD IN PERMANENT USE -- OF
THAT EASEMENT. THIS APPLICATIO
GETS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT POSSIBL
FOR A PROPERTY UNDER KING
COUNTY'S RATING SYSTEM. IT'S A
PUBLIC RECREATION AREA. IT HAS
UNLIMITED PUBLIC ACCESS. THERE
IS A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ON
THE PROPERTY. THAT SORT OF
BUMPS UP THE SCORE
SIGNIFICANTLY. IF APPROVED IT
WOULD RESULT IN THE PROPERTY
BEING VALUED AT 10% OF MARKET
VALUE, WITH A 90% REDUCTION IN
TAXABLE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.
THE OTHER APPLICATION IS VERY
SIMILAR. PART OF THE PATCHES
OWNED BY GROVE. THE OTHER PART
THE SOUTHERN PARCEL THAT YOU CA
SEE HERE, IS OWNED BY THE CITY.
IT'S LOCATED AT 2317 SOUTH
NORMAN STREET. ONE BLOCK EAST
OF THE PARK CENTRAL DISTRICT
NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE IS AN
EASEMENT ON THE PROPERTY. IT
RECEIVES THE MAXIMUM VALUE AND
THE SAME REDUCTION IN TAXABLE
VALUE. WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR AN
