Seattle Commons was a proposed
urban park located in the
South Lake Union neighborhood of
Seattle ,
Washington . The 61-acre (25 ha) park was the centerpiece of a larger redevelopment of the neighborhood, first proposed in 1991 by architect
Fred Bassetti and
Seattle Times columnist John Hinterberger. Two
municipal elections were held by the
City of Seattle to fund the project, with voters rejecting the initial $111 million
property tax levy in September 1995 and a smaller plan with a $50 million property tax in May 1996. 11.5 acres (4.7 ha) of land in the proposed park area that had been bought by
Paul Allen for the Seattle Commons Committee was later used by
Vulcan Inc. to begin the redevelopment of South Lake Union. The smaller
Lake Union Park was opened in two phases from 2008 to 2010 as a realization of the waterfront aspect of the Seattle Commons plan.

The Port of Everett is a public
seaport authority located on
Port Gardner Bay in
Everett, Washington , United States. Founded in 1918, it operates a small cargo terminal, a public
marina , waterfront real estate, and public recreational lands. The Port of Everett is the third-largest container port in the state of Washington, behind

The Port of Everett was established on July 13, 1918, via a referendum of Everett citizens. The port was formed in hopes of luring a naval shipyard amid a maritime boom caused by
World War I , which would end a few months later.
[3] The new port instead became a major lumber exporter
