	History of Seattle 1900-1940 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bogue plan had at its heart a grand civic center in Belltown and the Denny Regrade connected to the rest of the city by a rapid transit rail system, with a huge expansion of the park system, crowned by the total conversion of 4,000-acre (16 km²) Mercer Island into parkland.
		Striking in Bogue's plan is his grasp of the consequences of growth; he foresaw that the city's residents would eventually number in the millions and that such a grand park or efficient transit system could put in place early in the development at much lower cost.
		However, the Bogue plan was defeated by an alliance of fiscal conservatives who opposed such a grandiose plan on general principles and populists who argued that the plan would mainly benefit the rich: for example, the proposed massive Mercer Island park could, at that time, only be reached by boat.

		Bogue rather favored the Deer Creek route despite some 80 miles of 4 per cent grade, but Jay Gould gained control of the Union Pacific about that time, and the plans for a San Francisco extension were abandoned.
		Virgil Bogue had become George Gould's consulting engineer and recall-ing his surveys for the Union Pacific in the '80's, recommended Beckwourth Pass and the Feather River route.
		Bogue actually had detectives infiltrated through some of the gangs under the suspicion that some outside agency must be stirring up trouble and inducing the men to quit, but no evidence of this was ever found.

	HistoryLink Essay: Seattle defeats Bogue Improvement Plan on March 5, 1912.
		The Commission retained Virgil G. Bogue, a respected harbor planner and civil engineer and colleague of the Olmsted Brothers, to prepare a detailed plan to guide Seattle's future development.
		Bogue's audacious scheme triggered a vociferous debate pitting urban Progressives, led by city engineer R. Thomson (1856-1949) and the Municipal League, against the business establishment, which feared that the Plan would shift the city's commercial district north and devalue its downtown holdings.
		Seattle's three daily newspapers editorialized against the Bogue Plan, and public confusion over its unspecified implementation costs contributed to its defeat on March 5, 1912, by a vote of 24,966 to 14,506.

		This enthusiasm inspired Virgil Bogue, a civil engineer, to draw up the city's first comprehensive plan for harbor improvement in 1910.
		Bogue's plan for Seattle's harbor included two large marinas on the central waterfront, one for ferries and Alaska steamers and the other for Seattle's "mosquito fleet" (a fleet of small ships).
		Bogue's most ambitious idea was to develop seven 1,400-foot piers at Harbor Island, which could increase Seattle's annual marine commerce by seven times.

	DJC.COM: Imagine a new Seattle, provided by Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce
		One architect says Seattle has a history of "lynching" visionaries, such as Virgil Bogue who in 1911 came up with plans for a new Beaux Arts civic center at Fourth and Blanchard, on the flat space created by regrading Denny Hill.
		Bogue's plan used Paris and Antwerp as models for a new Seattle, but was defeated by those who said it was too far from the downtown core.
		From the failed Seattle Commons to Virgil Bogue's 1911 proposal for a Beaux Arts city centered at Fourth and Blanchard, Seattleites have a reputation for "lynching" visionaries, Gula said.

	A Mountain Calling - The Tacoma Eastern Railroad-Linking Puget Sound and Mount Rainier National Park
		It was Bogue who graded the NP over Stampede Pass in 1887 and then a year later outdid the tortuous route by punching the second longest tunnel in the Western Hemisphere two miles under and through the Cascades.
		Bogue had already been surveying the best route for the Tacoma Eastern line, together with Isaac Anderson and Edmund Rice.
		The group effectively designed the Tacoma Eastern as it would eventually be built, but before their plans could be realized, the relentless effect of the national depression, plus petty political bickering over the related sale and operation of Tacoma's light and water systems stalled the project.

		In 1895, according to R.C. Nesbitt (Judge Thomas Burke's biographer), Virgil Bogue outlined a plan to consolidate Seattle's railroad/port-depot into a civic pier; it was rejected (E.O. Schwagerl was Superintendent of park work at the time.).
		That same year, 1965, a Seattle/King County "Committee of 200" was organized by attorney James Ellis, who had "fathered" METRO (Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle) which, approved by district voters in 1958, established the development of a metropolitan sewer system which successfully ended the pollution of waters adjacent to Seattle.
		The committee identified the needs (but not specific sites or development details as Bogue had done) for each neighborhood, community, town and city in King County; the sites were to be selected by citizen workshops.

		The first decades of the twentieth century in Seattle were dominated by skilled and supremely self-confident technocrats such as city engineer R. Thomson, landscape architect John C. Olmsted, and urban planner Virgil Bogue.
		Virgil Bogue’s 1911 “Plan of Seattle” placed a towering “Central Station” on the lake’s south shore, with vast rail yards, commuter ferry docks, and the terminal for a rapid transit tunnel linking Seattle to Kirkland beneath Lake Washington.
		Bogue’s ideas were defeated by downtown interests and by voters in 1912.
