History of Seattle Seattle evaded the fate of Detroit through being a port city with a large number of highly educated skilled workers, though the boom decades of the 1950s and 1960s had been brought to a decisive end.

A New Seattle Monorail: Background and Issues A detailed study of the Seattle Monorail’s first six month’s of operation was made to appraise the effectiveness of the monorail as a metropolitan rapid transit facility.[6] Several efforts were initiated during the last three decades to either extend the Monorail or build a separate elevated transit system. During the period 1969-71 Seattle was one of five medium-sized cities selected for study by the Center Cities Transportation Project.[7][8] The study recommended that Seattle seek a grant to investigate the feasibility of a "people-mover-pedestrianway system". The system, called Seattle Central Alley Transit (SCAT), was the subject of a plan presented to the State legislature.[10] In a second phase, it was proposed that the private sector would implement a regional system in partnership with the city, county, state, and federal governments. www.globaltelematics.com /pitf/monopaper.htm   (2482 words)

HistoryLink Essay: Seattle Neighborhoods: Belltown-Denny Regrade -- Thumbnail History The area of Seattle stretching north of the central business district from Stewart Street to Mercer Street is usually dubbed the Denny Regrade, acknowledging the area's forcible flattening by city engineers early in the twentieth century. The generally flat terrain of today's Regrade was originally a steep hill named Denny Hill, but that was changed by a mammoth construction project in the first decades of the twentieth century. (The rest of the eastern slope was regraded in 1929 and 1930.) When property owners balked at selling, engineers carved around their lots, sometimes leaving houses stranded a hundred feet in air atop "spite mounds." These man-made buttes fell by 1911, giving Seattle a vast new tabula rasa upon which to sketch its urban visions. www.historylink.org /output.cfm?file_id=1123   (1267 words)

Wamu, art museum think big for new 40-story tower Washington Mutual and the Seattle Art Museum plan to push ahead with plans for a 40-story downtown tower that would give the Seattle-based bank a new corporate headquarters and allow the museum to ultimately triple in size. Washington Mutual's decision to cement its presence in its hometown is a "strong economic message for everyone in Seattle about this company," said Matt Griffin, managing partner of Pine Street Group LLC, the project's lead developer. Seattle Art Museum won't fully occupy its 300,000 square feet of space in the proposed tower for as many as 15 to 20 years. seattlepi.nwsource.com /visualart/87640_wamu19.shtml   (1138 words)

SEATTLE Downtown's changing face [Seattle Times, Feb.23, 1997] From Pioneer Square to the Denny Regrade and the waterfront to Interstate 5, Downtown Seattle is in the midst of a $1 billion building boom that promises to change the city's profile just as fundamentally as a crop of modern office high-rises did in the 1980s.
