INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director
BY: Stephanie Gardner, Parks and Recreation Analyst
DATE: November 19, 2013
SUBJECT: Washington State Heritage Capital Projects Grant
ISSUE
The City of Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department has been awarded a Washington State
"Heritage Capital Projects Fund" (HCPF) grant in the amount of $515,000.
BACKGROUND
In May 2012 staff applied for a grant from the State of Washington Heritage Capital Projects
Fund for development of the Duwamish Hill Preserve Phase IIB. The City was recommended to
receive a grant for $515,000. The State Capital Budget passed in May 2013 and the City was
officially awarded $515,000.
DISCUSSION
• The grant is managed by the Washington State Historical Society (WSHS), $15,000 is
retained by that agency for administering the grant.
• The grant program states funding cannot exceed 33.33% of the total costs of the project;
therefore, the City is responsible for 66.66% of project costs. Fortunately, we were able
to utilize funds that were committed to the west parcel acquisition ($1,050,000);
therefore, we easily met the match requirements. Additional in-kind cost share such as
staff salaries and volunteer work enabled us to further exceed match requirements, see
page 9 of Attachment A for a complete breakdown.
• The grant period is from June 1, 2013 through June 30, 2015.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The grant cannot exceed 33.33% of the total costs of the project. Fortunately funds that were
committed to the west parcel acquisition can be used towards the match ($1,050,000) and we
met the match requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee is being asked to forward this item onto the
Regular Meeting Consent Agenda on December 2, 2013 to authorize the Mayor to execute the
appropriate documents necessary to accept the HCPF funds.

The Duwamish Hill Preserve is an 8.6 acre property owned by the City of Tukwila and managed by its Parks and
Recreation Department. Forterra (formerly Cascade Land Conservancy), a non-profit land conservation
organization based in Seattle, holds a stewardship easement on the property, which conveys an ownership
interest in the parcel in perpetuity. The property was purchased from a private developer on March 9, 2004
for $998,000, a sum which was raised collaboratively by the City of Tukwila and Forterra through grants and
donations.
The address of the property is 3800 S 115th Street in Tukwila.

1. Project Summary Description— 20 Points
• Provide a description of the project. What type of project is being proposed? What is the size & scope of the project?
• Indicate stage of design and status of any project work completed or underway.
• Explain how the project will address high-performance building standards (RCW 39.35D) or indicate an exemption to
LEED Silver has been granted by WSHS or is requested. .
• Indicate the nature of any policies adopted to reduce greenhouse gas emission in compliance with RCW 70.235.070.
Project Background & Work Underway: The City of Tukwila, Forterra (formerly Cascade Land Conservancy),
and the Friends of the Hill began collaborating in 2001 to protect an undeveloped 8.6 acre parcel
known historically as Poverty Hill, after the then -owner proposed industrial development at the site.
Now called Duwamish Hill Preserve, this property features an unusual outcropping of bedrock rising
above the Duwamish River, and 600 feet of shoreline. Culturally significant for its association with
Southern Puget Sound Salish oral tradition, the Hill is a key location in the stories known as the "Epic
of the Winds." Protection of this cultural property has created one of the Puget Sound region's few
public open spaces that honors and interprets Native heritage. Partners raised $1 million, the
property was purchased in 2004, and a Master Plan was completed in 2007 with input from tribes,
local residents and other stakeholders. After raising $860,000 more, Phase I site work was completed
and the property opened to the public in 2010. The Hill is Tukwila's first Cultural Preserve.
Also in 2010, we began fundraising for Phase II improvements to the flat 1.4 acre northwest portion
of the property. A Phase II concept plan was developed, and we were delighted to receive $154,500
from the 2011-13 HCPF. Since then, the adjacent property owner to the west became willing to sell
his 1.9 property to the City to expand the Duwamish Hill Preserve. We have $1,050,000 committed to
this acquisition ($750,000 in City funds and the rest in local grant funds), we have a Proposal for
Purchase and Sale signed by the owner, and negotiations are underway. Work on Phase II has
temporarily been put on hold, due to this exciting opportunity to double the Phase II project area.
Description of Proposed Project: Phase II focuses on restoration of a 136,810 square foot area (3.3
acres) between the base of the Hill to the east, a Seattle City Light property to the north which
includes a wetland, the former Interurban Trail right of way to the west (future regional trail) and the
Duwamish River to the south. Phase II will feature permanent exhibits of native plants selected in
collaboration with the Muckleshoot and Duwamish Tribes, including species used for basket making,
preparation of traditional foods, and other cultural purposes. We hope to re-establish and make
accessible a variety of species with traditional cultural uses, such as wapato (arrowhead plant),
swamp tea, wild cranberries, tules (bulrush), slough sedge and other. Interpretive panels will include
traditional use information that is appropriate to share with the public.
Following creation of the cultural garden, stewardship guidelines and protocols for sustainable
harvest will be developed, with the goal of making some of the plants available for use each year.
Education programs about plants and native culture will provide public benefit in exchange for the
use of these resources. Initial Phase II design will begin following purchase of the west parcel, and
restoration / landscaping work will get underway when HCP funds are available in 2013. In addition
to the cultural garden and interpretive panels, Phase II infrastructure and visitor amenities include
paths and boardwalks meeting ADA standards, additional plantings, benches and other landscaping.
LEED standards & greenhouse gas reduction: Since the Preserve is a landscape, not a building, we
requested a LEED exemption. Our project incorporates sustainable design elements such as habitat
restoration, storm water control, and water efficiency landscaping. We do not have policies specific
for greenhouse gases, but the Hill is included in Tukwila's "Walk & Roll" Plan for non -motorized
access to public facilities, and it is close to the regional Green River Trail (bike/ped) and Sound Transit
light rail. Most site work is done with non -mechanized hand tools which produce no emissions.

2. Heritage Interpretation and Preservation -20 Points
• Describe how the project preserves and interprets heritage sites and/or resources.
• Indicate whether the property or object central to the application is listed or eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places or the Washington Heritage Register and, if so, how relevant Secretary of the Interior's
Standards will be followed. Please refer to pages 5 and 6 in the Application Instructions for more information.
• Describe any consultation tribal consultation or responses to the project to date.
Preservation: This project contributes to the preservation of Washington's heritage by protecting, in
perpetuity, a geological landmark that is associated with Puget Sound Salish culture. By protecting
Duwamish Hill Preserve from development, and interpreting its cultural significance for the public,
the project also helps to preserve and perpetuate traditional knowledge about Native American
geography, history, language, and stories in the region's broader historic record. Phase II activities
will include preservation of traditional ethnobotanical knowledge and practices.
Interpretation: The site is associated with the "Epic of the Winds" stories from oral tradition, which
were documented by early 20th century anthropologist Arthur Ballard and other ethnographers, from
stories told by tribal elders. The site is an important part of the Duwamish River cultural landscape
which includes both ethnographic and archaeological sites. This entire landscape is visible from the
Preserve. Through consultation with the Muckleshoot and Duwamish tribes, Duwamish Hill has been
identified as a strategic lookout and vision quest site, and traditional fishing sites have been noted
nearby. Interpretation for the Preserve is based on input from tribal members, educators,
community members, and published and archival documentation. Interpretation will highlight Native
stories and place names, as well as early non-native land claims, river history, geology and habitat.
Interpretive content will be available at on-site kiosks, in self -guided tour brochures, and on the web
(www.duwamishhill.org), and will be incorporated into Tukwila School District programs.
National Register status & cultural significance: Ethnographic documentation identifies Duwamish
Riverbend Hill as having the Lushootseed or Southern Puget Sound Salish place name of stgoxw or
"Beaver Lodge." While the property is not yet listed in the National Register, it is potentially eligible
for listing as a contributing resource to the Duwamish River Valley Traditional Cultural Property
district. Such a listing would also include three related ethnographic sites in the immediate area:
s' wolac (also called Grandmother), sxiyagw (Beaver), and stubla? (North Wind's Fish Weir). The
cultural significance of these sites was comprehensively documented in "Winds, Waterways and
Weirs: Ethnographic Study of the Central Link Light Rail Corridor" (2004). Site development work is
consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for the Treatment of Cultural Landscapes
including identification of character -defining features, assessment of how the landscape has changed
over time, and preservation of historic fabric. An archaeological survey was completed for Phase I,
and a pre -design survey is planned for the expanded Phase II project area. Briefings for parks staff,
contractors and volunteers provide instructions regarding potential inadvertent discoveries.
Tribal consultation: The project team has consulted regularly with the Muckleshoot Cultural
Committee and the Duwamish Tribal Council since preservation efforts began a decade ago. The
Muckleshoot Tribe contributed funding, and representatives of both tribes participated in the Hill's
2004 public dedication ceremony. Tribal representatives have visited the site on other occasions, and
have hosted presentations by the project team about the project, including the specific Phase II
project components. Stories shared by elders will enrich site interpretation. For example, the
shoreline of the Hill Preserve is the furthest upriver reach of salt water and tidal currents, and so this
area was where upriver people would leave their shovel -nose river canoes, and join relatives in larger
canoes for travel on open water. Future consultation is anticipated regarding Phase II plant selection,
education programs, interpretation, and long-term stewardship policies.

3. Plans, Capacity, Mission and Public Benefit -10 Points
• Describe how the project fulfills the mission and strategic plans of the applicant organization.
• What is the capacity of the applicant to complete the project? What experience does the applicant have in
completing capital projects?
• Identify key project personnel, such as an architect, and provide their qualifications.
• Describe the role of key partners and any written agreements verifying their participation in the project.
• Describe the audience for this project and how the public will benefit.
Mission, Plans & Capacity: The City of Tukwila's mission, in the spirit of partnership with its
community, is "preserving and enhancing a vibrant and healthy quality of life by providing caring,
effective and efficient service." The role of the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department is to
provide fun, convenient, quality programs that promote healthy living, and serve as a steward for
recreational and historical properties. The City is a recognized leader in innovative programs
involving diverse community partners. We anticipate that the stewardship guidelines and protocols
for sustainable harvest related to Duwamish Hill Preserve Phase II will set a statewide precedent for
incorporating access to traditional cultural resources into management of conservation lands.
Key Project Personnel: Phase II development will be directed by Rick Still, City of Tukwila Director of
Parks and Recreation and Robert Eaton, Tukwila Parks Capital Projects Coordinator. Rick and Robert
have directed Phase I work on the Hill in partnership with Forterra, led the Hill management team's
efforts, managed project budgets, and managed community outreach for the project. Senior
Landscape Architect Nate Cormier of SvR Design provides design services, permit oversight, budget
development and assistance with construction management. Forterra Land Stewardship Director
Hayes Swinney provides project guidance and grant management support, serves as liaison to
Forterra's acquisition legal team, and coordinates with Friends of the Hill to recruit and manage
volunteers. Heritage consultant Holly Taylor of Past Forward provides preservation planning
services, leads tribal consultation efforts and develops heritage interpretive content.
Key Partners: Forterra is our primary partner in acquiring, expanding and restoring the Preserve.
They hold a permanent stewardship easement on the property, and a statement of principles guides
our collaboration. The Friends of the Hill is a neighborhood group that holds monthly work parties,
and the Tukwila Historical Society assists with interpretation. We also hope to work with the
Northwest Native American Basket Weavers Association regarding selection of plant materials,
development of harvest guidelines, and future use of the site including education programs.
Audiences: Neighbors have long visited the Hill to enjoy views of Mount Rainier and the Seattle
skyline. Each year, over 500,000 people use nearby recreational facilities, such as Starfire Sports
Complex, Foster Golf Course, and the Green River Trail, and these people will be encouraged to visit
the Preserve through directional signage and kiosks. As the Hill's cultural significance becomes
known through media, interpretive materials, and educational programs, those who want to learn
about local Native heritage will seek out the site. Residents and tourists who visit cultural facilities
such as the Duwamish Longhouse may learn about the Preserve through outreach materials.
Educators can integrate the Preserve into their curriculum on Native cultures, Washington State
history, and environmental studies. If even a small percentage of area residents, and users of nearby
parks and cultural facilities visit the site, the Preserve's annual audience is estimated at 50,000.
Public Benefit: The Preserve benefits the public by providing opportunities for residents and visitors
to learn about Native heritage in an outdoor setting that is part of an indigenous cultural landscape.
Site interpretation offers visitors insight regarding the cultural values and traditional geographic and
environmental knowledge of Puget Sound Salish people. The Preserve may also serve as a model for
the protection and restoration of other cultural properties, in both rural areas and urban landscapes.

4. Readiness -20 Points
• Describe why now is the best time for HCPF grant support and the applicant's ability to begin the project by July 2013
and complete it by June 2015.
• Provide a brief timeline for the project to completion, noting important milestones.
• Discuss legal, permitting, zoning, or other issues that might delay the project.
Timeliness of Project: Past grants from the HCPF (awarded to Forterra/CLC, for this project) partially
supported a Master Plan (completed 2007), and Phase I design and construction / restoration
(completed 2010). An additional HCPF grant in 2011(62011-13) provided partial support for our
originally conceived Phase II project to restore 1.4 acres within the original Preserve boundaries. This
task was temporary put on hold pending acquisition of the additional 1.9 acre West Parcel, and
addition of this land to the Preserve. Because state grants cannot be shown as matching funds, we
have segregated this HCPF B2011-13 grant along with the required 2:1 match in a separate Phase IIA
budget and it is not include in our attached Phase IIB project budget. By deferring this project
component, we anticipate significant savings with design, site preparation and mobilization costs.
Our current HCPF B2013-15 request is for Phase IIB, focused on restoration/construction activities on
the new acquisition parcel, for which we plan to begin design work in mid -2012 and construction in
2013. HCPF funds represent a critical piece of our Phase IIB budget, and we will be ready to begin
work as soon as funds are available. Without these funds, we face significant delays in completing
our project. With several years of work invested in protecting the Preserve and securing funding for
its future, the project has good momentum and visibility, and outstanding community participation.
With the recent opening of the nearby Duwamish Longhouse and tribal museums around the region,
and increasing visibility of the annual Canoe Journey, we anticipate that public interest in Native
American heritage will grow. Duwamish Hill Preserve offers a unique opportunity for the public to
visit a place that celebrates both the antiquity and the survival of Native heritage in our region.

Phase II planning and fund raising begins; effort to acquire adjacent property begins.
2012 Goals: Complete acquisition of adjacent parcel and expansion of Preserve; complete
fundraising for expanded Phase II (3.3 acres) restoration / construction.
2013 Goals: Complete expanded Phase II design, begin Phase II restoration/construction.
2014 Goals: Complete Phase II restoration/construction, open Phase II area to the public. Phase III
shoreline restoration will be a long-term project involving federal, state and local agencies.
Site Development Issues: The Tukwila Parks & Recreation Department follows the City of Tukwila's
permitting process (including SEPA checklist) in developing the Preserve. No changes in zoning or
land use designation are required. Phase II design does not trigger any potential delays with the
City's Public Works or Community Development Departments. The community has been deeply
involved in the effort to preserve this property and strongly supports the project.

5. Fund Raising Plan & Status -10 points
• Describe how the applicant's cost share, or match of $2 non -state to $1 state, will be met.
• Describe any state grants received for the project and the status of all prior HCPF grants to the applicant.
• Name and describe your key capital campaign leaders.
• Provide the plan for future operation and maintenance of the project following its completion.
Cost share: Based on our current HCPF request of $515,000, our minimum cost share would be
$1,030,000, but we have identified our actual cost share for Phase IIB as $1,444,560. Of that cost
share, we have $1,129,560 or 78% already in hand or committed, including $1,050,000 in cash (93%)
and $79,560 (7%) in kind.
Secured cash match includes $750,000 from the City of Tukwila's REET (Real Estate Excise Tax) fund
for open space acquisition, $250,000 from King County's Conservation Futures program, and $50,000
from 4Culture's Heritage Cultural Facilities Program. Pending cash match ($315,000) includes a
request for $50,000 already submitted to the King Conservation District, a request for another
$50,000 from 4Culture to be submitted in September 2012, and additional grant proposals to be
submitted to King County's Wild Places in City Spaces program, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, REI,
Sabey Corporation, Raisbeck Engineering, and private donors.
Committed in-kind contributions from City of Tukwila staff are valued based on actual hourly rates for
Parks and Recreation Director and Capital Projects Coordinator, and total $15,600 per year during the
project period (2012-14). Volunteer coordinator, Friend of the Hill and Tukwila Planning Commission
member Brooke Alford donates 10 hours per month of landscaping services, valued at a discounted
professional rate of $35/hour, or $4,200 per year during the project period. Dozens of neighborhood
volunteers who are Friends of the Hill or who attend bi-annual volunteer events such as Duwamish
Alive have provided up to 2,000 volunteer hours per year in past years. We conservatively estimated
volunteer participation at 672 hours per year during the project period (2012-14), valued according to
HCPF instructions at $10 per hour or $6,720 per year. [For comparison, the Corporation for National
and Community Service's current value for volunteer labor is $20.85 per hour, and the Seattle
Department of Neighborhoods' is $20 per hour, so volunteer time may be under -valued by the HCPF.j
Past State Support and Status of Previous HCPF grants are described in detail on the previous page
under "Timeliness of Project."
Capital Campaign: Tukwila Planning Commissioner and Friend of the Hill Brooke Alford leads the
local fund raising campaign, with support from Forterra and City of Tukwila staff.
Operations and Maintenance Plan: Following completion of Phase II capital improvements, the City
of Tukwila will manage operations and maintenance and Forterra will focus on raising funds to
support education programs, from sources such as 4Culture and the Ferguson Foundation. CLC will
also continue to conduct regular work parties to continue restoration efforts and maintenance. The
Tukwila City Council values the Tukwila Park System, and recognizes its contribution to the quality of
life for residents and visitors. In addition to the portion of real estate excise taxes which is dedicated
to park acquisition, maintenance and operations funds including support for the Preserve are part of
the city's updated six year financial plan.
An important aspect of site operation is worth noting: Since Phase I was completed in 2010 and the
Preserve was opened to the public, Tukwila Parks and Recreation and Forterra have collaborated to
host visiting school groups from the Tukwila School District, including classes of 2"a, 3rd, 6th and 7th
graders which have visited every spring and fall.

6. Budget -20 points
• Describe how the figures on the BUDGET FORM were determined.
• Provide a detailed description, including amounts of cost share already in the project, in hand, or pledged, consistent
with amounts in the BUDGET FORM.
Budget Figures: The Phase IIB site development budget was based on our Master Plan, and updated
with detailed cost estimates prepared by landscape architect Nate Cormier of SvR Design in
consultation with project staff. SvR Design was also responsible for Phase I tasks, having developed
that phase of the budget, supervised construction, and worked closely with the management team to
ensure all work was completed within budget.
Costs for landscape architecture ($160,000) and engineering fees ($27,000) including geotechnical
and hydrological studies are based on estimates from qualified firms, taking into account the size of
the project area, unusual terrain and experience with similar projects. Construction / rehabilitation
costs ($211,000 total) are itemized (per square foot) in the Phase II Concept Plan and Estimate of
Probable Costs developed by SvR Design in November 2011. Site mobilization includes prep, limited
clearing and grading, erosion control and wetland protection. Hardscape elements include crushed
rock surfaces and boardwalks that will meet ADA standards, and boulders (some salvaged from site)
for traffic control. Property acquisition ($1,050,000) includes fee ownership, closing costs,
commercial appraisal, and environmental assessment. Landscaping ($245,000 total) includes
woodland areas, habitat restoration, soil amendments and native plantings.
Permanent exhibits includes preparation and planting of the "cultural garden" area –the focal point
of Phase IIB – as well as a rain garden to manage runoff and strengthen connectivity to adjacent
wetland (north side), shrub and tree buffers (west side), mulch treatment, and a temporary irrigation
system (required by environmental funders). Also included in exhibits are interpretive bench panels
similar to what was created for Phase I of the project.
Personnel costs are described on the previous page under "Cost Share."
Community support for the project has been strong, and volunteer participation includes a
professional landscape architect, Friends of the Hill monthly work parties and large scale public
events twice per year. This work has allowed us to stretch grant dollars significantly, and will likely
save $75,000 in Phase IIB expenditures for labor, by involving volunteers instead of paying
professional landscapers for all clearing and planting work.
Secured and pending cash match is described in detail on the previous page under "Cost Share."
The project period for Phase IIB cost share is a three year period from January 2012 to December
2014. Although the project completion date listed on page one is June 2015, we anticipate that most
of the project activities will be completed in 2014 and so we have confined our in-kind calculations to
that three year period. Project activities in prior to 2012, including both in-kind contributions and
grants, were listed as match to previous HCPF grants awarded to Forterra/Cascade Lad Conservancy
for this project, and so are not included in our current budget or cost share figure.

7. Geographic Diversity -5 points
• Describe how your project provides geographic and cultural diversity.
The primary impact of the project is to make Puget Sound Salish heritage more visible to residents
and visitors in the greater Seattle area. By working collaboratively with the Muckleshoot and
Duwamish Tribes, the project has and will continue to re -connect tribal communities with their
traditional lands, provide access to those lands and build stronger relationships between
contemporary tribal and non -tribal communities.
Geographically, the Duwamish Hill Preserve is one of the only remnant features of the pre -contact
Duwamish River Valley landscape that is still visible and visit -able, and still characterized by native
plant communities. The Green-Duwamish watershed which stretches from the crest of the Cascades
to Puget Sound and includes most of the land area between Seattle and Tacoma was once home to
dozens of Puget Sound Salish villages and a landscape productive for gathering, fishing and hunting
and richly known through oral tradition and Lushootseed place names. The landscape is now
dominated by commercial, industrial and residential development and infrastructure. Preservation
and restoration of the Preserve provides access, physically and through interpretive information, to
the indigenous geography of the Puget Sound basin in a way that is different and in some ways more
immediate than museum displays or other forms of historical information. The Preserve represents a
unique opportunity as an "outdoor museum" interpreting this endangered aspect of local heritage.
While the audience for this project is potentially regional, the Preserve directly serves the ethnically
diverse, working class community of Tukwila, where 74% of the students in the school district qualify
for free or reduced -price meals. The school district population includes 35% transitional bilingual
speakers, an indication of the high proportion of the population who are recent immigrants and
refugees. School field study trips bring elementary, middle and high school students to the Preserve,
and on-site activities include such topics as Puget Sound Salish oral tradition and place names, and
provides students with opportunities to share stories drawn from their cultural traditions in Somali,
Russia, Mexico, Vietnam and many other places. Students also participate in hands-on environmental
restoration working with native plant communities at the site.
Our proposed Phase IIB, for which HCPF funds are requested, will provide a richer Phase II restoration
with broader impact, from a cultural, habitat and recreational perspective. It will include a greatly
expanded cultural garden exhibiting plants for basket making, preparation of traditional foods, and
other cultural purposes, interpreted through displays, narrative guides and public programs. Future
interpretation of the surrounding Duwamish River Valley cultural landscape, including the nearby
North Wind Fish Weir and other places of ethnographic and historical interest, will also be featured at
the Preserve through storytelling, artwork and display of resources such as the Duwamish River
Cleanup Coalition's Green Duwamish River Map.

C. Grant Acceptance: Duwamish Hill ,Preserve
Staff is seeking Council approval for the Mayor to accept on behalf of the City a Washington State
Historical Society "Heritage Capital Projects Fund" grant in the amount of $515,000 for the Duwamish
Hill Preserve Phase IIb. The grant program states that funding cannot exceed 33.33% of the total cost, and
the City's match will come from funds for the west parcel acquisition, other grants, and in-kind
contributions. Phase IIb focuses on the restoration of 3.3 acres as a "cultural garden" area to feature
permanent exhibits of native plants and interpretive education programs about plants and native culture.
The project completion date is June 2015, with most activities being completed by the end of 2014.
