45th Ave SW Culvert Replacement Projec
t
Learn more about the project and join us for a Design Drop-in on Saturday, March 9 from 10 am – 1 pm!

The culvert for replacement is under 45th Ave SW, near SW Wildwood Pl. The future Fauntleroy Creek overlook area is on City-owned property on the west side of 45th Ave SW.

The design of the 45th Ave SW Culvert Replacement Project, which is part of the Fauntleroy Creek Culverts Replacement Program, is underway again after a hiatus. Want to learn about the latest design updates? Join members of the project team for a Design Drop-in on Saturday, March 9 any time from 10 am – 1 pm to learn about the culvert and share your thoughts on the future Fauntleroy Creek overlook space. The project information table will be at the intersection of SW Wildwood Pl and 45th Ave SW, in front of Wildwood Glen. We hope to see you there!

Can’t make it to the Design Drop-in? We still want to hear from you! You can share your feedback about the future overlook space through our survey March 4 – 22. The survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete.

What is the 45th Ave SW Culvert Replacement Project?
SPU plans to replace the aging culvert under 45th Ave SW, near SW Wildwood Pl. The culvert is a structure that channels Fauntleroy Creek under the roadway. Replacing this culvert will restore fish passage, reduce the risk of culvert failure, improve resilience to anticipated climate change, and provide safer working conditions for crews.

In addition to replacing the culvert, SPU is planning to construct a small public space on City-owned property on the west side of 45th Ave SW that will overlook Fauntleroy Creek. The project team is currently seeking feedback on what amenities the community would like to see in this space. Please visit the project website to learn more and take the survey through March 22.

There are three culverts on Fauntleroy Creek: a lower culvert at Fauntleroy Way SW, a middle culvert at 45th Ave SW, and an upper culvert at California Ave SW. SPU is implementing a phased project to replace two of these culverts, those at 45th Ave SW and at California Ave SW. Due to the condition and age of the culverts, repairing them is not a viable strategy. The Fauntleroy Way culvert and associated fish ladder were built in the late 1990s and are not part of the Fauntleroy Creek Culverts Replacement Project. The 45th Ave SW culvert is the immediate focus of this project.

SPU continues to investigate creek, drainage, sediment, utility, or other infrastructure issues within the Fauntleroy Creek drainage basin that may be addressed through this or other projects.

Project Timeline
SPU is approaching the mid-design phase, also known as 60% design completion. The project team will continue to gather feedback from the community, permitting agencies, and other impacted parties to inform the project’s design. As the design moves forward, SPU will provide a more precise schedule. Community outreach will be ongoing throughout the project phases.

● Planning and Early Design: 2018 – 2023

● Mid-Design: 2023 – 2024

● Final Design: 2024 – 2025

● Construction: 2026 – 2027

Questions about the project? We want to hear from you!
Please contact: Jonathan Brown, Project Manager, at Jonathan.Brown@seattle.gov or (206) 561-2581.

F3, a free national men’s workout group:

We have a local workout location that meets at Hiawatha park on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 am sharp. The group has been around for a few years, so many folks that are up early might have come across us before doing burpees or pushups and counting out loud. We’d love to extend the invite to men of any fitness level – we work out as a group and don’t leave anyone behind, come as you are and hopefully leave a bit better.

The workout is 45 minutes long and then we all get coffee at West Seattle Grounds. You don’t need to bring anything special, just wear comfortable athletic clothes appropriate for the weather and some sneakers. Some work or gardening gloves can be helpful if you have a pair. Just don’t be late or the whole group is doing penalty burpees.

Our church will be reopening PlaySpace going forward. We have not been open since everything shut down with Covid. Essentially we are inviting Moms, Dads, caregivers to come on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am-12 pm to bring their little ones, and to have a place to play and connect with others in the cold and rainy seasons. Its free to anyone and everyone. Just hoping the space can be a gift to the neighborhood. One change for now is we will be opening the sanctuary up as the play area as we are still trying to rebuild and repair things from the fire last spring.

We will be hosting a ‘Meet the Mariners Moose’ event where Moose, and potentially a few players will engage with our local community: playing games, offering gifts, taking photos, and spreading joy!

MARCH: WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH
“And It Has Pockets! The Battle for Women’s Clothing Equality”
Thursday, Mar. 14, 4:30-5:30 pm

Comparisons have shown that modern garments designed for women have about half the storage space of clothing
designed for men. From their invention, pockets in women’s fashion have represented independence—so much so that
in the 18th century, laws were enacted to strip women of their personal liberty by making the contents of their pockets
the property of their husband. The right to have pockets went hand-in-hand with the right to vote. And people today are
still speaking out about the inequality between men’s and women’s clothing based on this simple storage system. Join
theater teacher and costume designer Diane Johnston in this entertaining and educational presentation about fashion
history and the historical trends that find their way into our modern closets. Free to members and nonmembers, thanks
to sponsorship from Humanities Washington.bAdvance RSVP requested.

THURSDAY, MARCH 14TH: WORDS, WRITERS, SOUTHWEST STORIES PRESENTS:

Harriet Baskas
Wonderful, Weird, and Worrisome Objects in Washington State’s Museums

Most museums display no more than 10 percent of their holdings, often citing “not enough space” as the reason. But there are also a wide range of cultural, philosophical, political, environmental, historic, and even superstitious reasons why museums keep some objects from public view.

In this talk, explore a wide range of hidden objects found in the back rooms of museums in our state and around the country. Examples include a Spokane institution that holds Bing Crosby’s toupées and a museum in Lynden that’s home to a 150-year-old pickle. Museum staff will be on hand to answer questions, participate in our discussions, and unbox a few hidden treasures.

Harriet Baskas (she/her) is the author of nine books, including 111 Places in Seattle That You Must Not Miss and Hidden Treasures: What Museums Can’t or Won’t Show You. She writes about airports, museums, travel, and a variety of other topics for outlets such as NBC News, The Points Guy, and her own site, StuckatTheAirport.com. She produced a radio series on hidden museum artifacts that aired on National Public Radio. Baskas has a master’s in communications from the University of Washington.

Baskas lives in Seattle.

This event will be held virtually, via Zoom on March 14, 2024, at 6pm. A link to join this event will be emailed to registered participants on the day of the event.

F3, a free national men’s workout group:

We have a local workout location that meets at Hiawatha park on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 am sharp. The group has been around for a few years, so many folks that are up early might have come across us before doing burpees or pushups and counting out loud. We’d love to extend the invite to men of any fitness level – we work out as a group and don’t leave anyone behind, come as you are and hopefully leave a bit better.

The workout is 45 minutes long and then we all get coffee at West Seattle Grounds. You don’t need to bring anything special, just wear comfortable athletic clothes appropriate for the weather and some sneakers. Some work or gardening gloves can be helpful if you have a pair. Just don’t be late or the whole group is doing penalty burpees.

Our church will be reopening PlaySpace going forward. We have not been open since everything shut down with Covid. Essentially we are inviting Moms, Dads, caregivers to come on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am-12 pm to bring their little ones, and to have a place to play and connect with others in the cold and rainy seasons. Its free to anyone and everyone. Just hoping the space can be a gift to the neighborhood. One change for now is we will be opening the sanctuary up as the play area as we are still trying to rebuild and repair things from the fire last spring.
