GLOSSARY
adverse effect An effect to a historic property that alters the characteristics of a property that qualify it for the
National Register of Historic Places in such a way that its eligibility for the National Register
would be diminished.
anadromous fish Fish such as salmon that travel upstream into fresh water to spawn but otherwise live in
saltwater.
Area of Potential Effect This is the area in which historic properties, if they are present, could be affected by the project
either directly or indirectly.
channelization Structural alteration made to a stream's channel to speed the flow of water and thus prevent it
from flooding; usually involves cutting off meanders to straighten a stream.
cultural resource Districts, sites, buildings, structures, objects, people, documents, and traditional places that
may be important in American history or prehistory.
glaciation The process of ice growth and retreat within a glacier.
high probability/sensitivity

Areas where archaeological remains are most likely to be present. These have been identified
as terraces and floodplains of perennial streams and lakes with a gentle topography, well-
drained, and free of modern disturbances.
historic property A cultural resource that is on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.
loam Term used to describe soil texture; a combination of sand, silt, organic matter, and clay.
low probability/sensitivity areas Areas where archaeological remains are unlikely to be present. These have been identified as
areas relatively far from perennial water sources, of steep topography, poorly drained, and/or
containing evidence of modern disturbances.
moderate probability/sensitivity
areas
Areas where archaeological remains may be present. These have been identified as areas of
gentle to no slope that are relatively close to a perennial water source and free of modern
disturbances.
mottling Term used to describe soil irregularly marked with spots of different colors that vary in number
and size. Mottling in soils usually indicates poor aeration and lack of drainage.

INTRODUCTION
What is the Renton Nickel Improvement Project?
The Renton Nickel Improvement Project is a highway expansion project that will
improve mobility and safety through Tukwila and Renton. On I-405, this project
begins just east of the I-5/I-405 interchange in Tukwila and extends north past the
Cedar River to the SR 169 (Maple Valley Highway) interchange. The project will build
an additional lane both northbound and southbound between I-5 and SR 169. On
SR 167, the project will extend the southbound high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane
north to I-405 and add a southbound auxiliary lane from I-405 to the SW 41st Street
off-ramp. These limits comprise the study area for the project.
Prior to planning this specific project, WSDOT created the I-405 Corridor Program.
This program provides a comprehensive strategy to reduce congestion and improve
mobility throughout the I-405 corridor. The corridor begins at the I-5 interchange in
the city of Tukwila and extends northward 30 miles to the I-5 interchange in the city of
Lynnwood. The program’s purpose is to provide an efficient, integrated, and
multimodal system of
transportation solutions.
Using the I-405 Corridor
Program’s Selected
Alternative as the Master
Plan to improve I-405,
WSDOT developed
relatively low cost,
congestion relief roadway
improvements as an interim
step in achieving the Master
Plan. As part of this effort,
WSDOT began to define
the Renton Nickel
Improvement Project. The
Renton Nickel Improvement
Project was developed as
part of a first step in
providing a focused strategy
to improve I-405 between
I-5 in Tukwila and SR 169 in
Renton and SR 167
southbound from I-405 to
SW 41st Street, see Exhibit
1. This discipline report
analyzes two project
alternatives: the No Build
Alternative and the Build
Alternative.

Renton Nickel Improvement Project
2 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
What is the No Build Alternative?
The No Build Alternative assumes that only routine
activities such as road maintenance, repair, and safety
improvements would take place over the next 20 years.
This alternative does not include improvements to increase
roadway capacity or reduce congestion. For these
reasons, it does not satisfy the project’s purpose—improve
I-405 between I-5 in Tukwila and SR 169 in Renton and
SR 167 southbound from I-405 to SW 41st Street.
The No Build Alternative has been evaluated in this
discipline report to establish a baseline for comparing
the effects associated with the Build Alternative.
What is the Build Alternative?
The new lanes that will be built under this project are:
An I-405 northbound general-purpose (GP)
lane from I-5 to the SR 167 off-ramp.
An I-405 northbound auxiliary lane from the
SR 167 to I-405 on-ramp to the SR 169 off-ramp.
An I-405 southbound auxiliary lane from the
SR 169 to I-405 on-ramp to the SR 167 off-ramp.
An I-405 southbound GP lane from the SR 167
to I-405 on-ramp to the I-5 off-ramp.
A SR 167 southbound auxiliary lane from I-405 to the
SW 41st Street off-ramp. Also, the existing inside
HOV lane will be extended north to I-405 from its
present starting point in the vicinity of SW 21st Street.
See Exhibits 2 through 9 show the project features. In
addition to adding lanes to I-405 and SR 167, this project
will provide the following improvements.
Improve Interchanges
Minor modifications will be made to the ramps at the
SR 167 interchange:
The one-lane ramp from northbound I-405 to
SR 167 will be widened to a 2-lane off
connection, which provides a dedicated lane to
southbound SR 167 and a dedicated lane to
northbound Rainer Avenue. See Exhibit 5.
Traffic from two consecutive single-lane on-
ramps from southbound I-405 to SR 167 will be
separated by a concrete barrier. This will
provide a smoother transition to the mainline
and reduce congestion on the on-ramps.
What is an auxiliary lane?
An auxiliary lane is a lane added between
interchanges—from one on-ramp to the
next off-ramp. It is dedicated to traffic
entering and leaving the freeway and
provides motorists with more time and
extra room to accelerate or decelerate
and merge when getting on and off the
freeway.

Improve Benson Road
The Benson Road overpass will be replaced and
realigned to accommodate the southbound auxiliary
lane on I-405 as well as future improvements to I-405
as shown on Exhibit 8. Improvements on Benson
Road include a 6-foot sidewalk on the west side and
5-foot bike lanes on both sides.
Widen and replace bridges
Several bridges within the study area will be widened
or replaced based on present location, cost, and
existing soil conditions. To construct the new lanes,
the project will:
Widen Talbot Road Bridge on both the
northbound and the southbound sides. See
Exhibit 8.
Replace Springbrook Creek Side Channel
Bridge and Oakesdale Avenue Bridge with new
southbound and northbound structures and
remove the Springbrook Creek box culvert.
See Exhibit 4.
Replace the rail on the I-405 bridges over
SR 181 and the Union Pacific and Burlington
Northern Santa Fe railroads.
The project will not affect the I-405 bridges over the
Green River, Lind Avenue, or the Cedar River. The
project will also not affect the Cedar Avenue or Renton
Avenue overpasses. The roadway will be restriped in
these areas to accommodate the new lanes.
Use retaining walls
Widening I-405 and SR 167 will require retaining walls
to minimize the construction footprint and right-of-way
acquisition. Retaining walls will also help avoid and
minimize effects to wetlands and other sensitive areas.
Improve culverts
WSDOT anticipates that construction will affect some
existing stormwater cross culverts and one stream
culvert. Associated culvert improvements include
extending the existing structures due to widening the
roadway and stabilizing culvert ends with rock or
retaining walls. The I-405 Team will conduct a hydraulic
analysis of the culverts to ensure that the modifications
will have no effect on the base flood elevations. See the
Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Discipline Report for
detailed discussion on fish passage.
Why rebuild Benson Road on a new
alignment over I-405?
By building the new overpass to the west
on a new alignment, the new structure
can be constructed while the existing
structure remains open to traffic. Traffic
can then be shifted onto the new
structure, while the old overpass is
demolished.
What does a “rail” replacement involve?
Typically, a bridge rail replacement
project consists of making minor
adjustments to the width of the bridge
deck and replacing the guard rail or
barrier. This type of project does not
include adding new bridge columns or
footings.
INTRODUCTION
Renton Nickel Improvement Project

Build a noise wall
One noise wall will be built on the northbound side of
the freeway as shown on Exhibits 5 and 8. The wall
will begin at the intersection of South 14th Street and
South 15th Street and follow South 14th Street east to
Talbot Road. This wall will be approximately 2,150
feet long and 18 feet tall.
How will stormwater from the project be
managed?
Stormwater from the project will be managed for both
quality and peak flows using currently accepted best
management practices (BMPs). The I-405 Team has
designed the stormwater management facilities to
comply with the following guidelines and procedures:
WSDOT Highway Runoff Manual M 31-16
WSDOT Hydraulics Manual M 23-03
Stormwater treatment facilities
The project will add new impervious surface within the
study area, most of which will be within the Springbrook
Creek basin. This project will treat runoff for an area
equal to 100 percent of these new surfaces.
The project will use BMPs that the HRM lists as
enhanced treatment facilities. The I-405 Team has
proposed that stormwater be treated using a
combination of these facilities. In most of the study
area, ecology embankments will be used to capture
runoff from the edge of the
pavement and provide water
quality treatment. Ecology
embankments also serve to
convey treated runoff to
receiving waters or to flow
control facilities as required.
The project also includes a
combined stormwater quality
wetland and detention facility
that addresses water quality
and flow control in one facility.
Exhibits 2 through 9 show the
location of stormwater facilities
that will be built for this project. Ecology Embankment Cross-Section
What are the guidelines for stormwater
management facilities?
Water quality treatment will be provided
for an area equal to the new impervious
surfaces created on the project.
Impervious surfaces, such as pavement,
are those that do not allow water to
penetrate into the ground. Stormwater
from new impervious surfaces or an equal
area will be controlled in detention
facilities. This process allows water to
be held (detained) and thus released at
rates that are equal to existing
conditions.
INTRODUCTION
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report 13
Drainage Collection and Conveyance
Some changes to existing drainage will be necessary
to provide flow control and water quality treatment to
address the new impervious area added by the
project. However, existing storm drainage systems
will be kept to the greatest extent possible and existing
flow patterns will be maintained. Where roadway
widening affects drainage ditches that convey water
from adjacent private properties, the project design will
assure that existing conveyance capacities are
maintained.
What environmental and utilities issues
influenced the project design and what
was done to avoid and minimize project
effects?
Throughout the development of the Renton Nickel
Improvement Project design, environmental elements
were reviewed and design features were modified to
avoid or minimize negative effects to the environment.
Influence on the project design came from:
Soil Conditions: the soils in the project area are
highly prone to accentuate earthquake
shaking, which influences how bridges can be
widened or replaced.
Noise: highway noise in the project area
already exceeds acceptable levels, which
means that including noise walls as part of the
project had to be considered.
Wetland Locations: many wetlands are located
along the edges of the highway, which
influence whether the widened sections will
use retaining walls or fill slopes.
Historical Sites: some historic sites exist within
the study area, so the project design was
coordinated to avoid these properties.
Because the I-405 Team planned for these
environmental considerations, several design features
have the benefit of avoiding or minimizing potential
effects due to the project. These design features are
described from south to north below.
I-405, I-5 to SR 167
WSDOT will construct a retaining wall from west of the
68th Avenue structure over I-405 at Tukwila Parkway
What are detention facilities?
These facilities control stormwater runoff
so that it can be released at a controlled
rate. Two types are commonly used:
Ponds.
Vaults. Similar to a pond, but with a
hard-sided construction. These
concrete structures function like a
pond but also provide detention
storage.
INTRODUCTION
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
14 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
The proposed design modifications allow
the additional lanes to be added over the
Green River by restriping instead of
bridge widening. This avoids effects on
the river, stream habitat, floodplain, and
Interurban Trail.
to the Green River. This wall avoids the need to
construct a fill slope that would extend into Gilliam
Creek. See Exhibit 2.
WSDOT will provide a narrower outside shoulder on
northbound I-405 at the Green River Bridge. The
shoulder will vary from 10 to just over 3 feet at the west
abutment of the existing bridge. Narrowing the
shoulder avoids modifications to the existing bridge. As
a result, the design also avoids effects to the river, the
100-year floodplain, the ordinary high water level, and
adjacent riparian zones.
At the SR 181 interchange, the bridge and ramp will
be restriped to provide the new general-purpose lane
and ramp improvements. This approach minimizes
the need to widen the existing SR 181 Bridge,
reconstruct the SR 181 interchange, or modify the
Southcenter Boulevard crossing of the Green River.
This in turn avoids relocating or diverting the
Interurban Trail, which goes under the bridge. See
Exhibit 3.
Near the Westfield Shoppingtown Mall, a large Seattle
Public Utilities water transmission line parallels I-405.
WSDOT will line this pipe so that is can support the
loads from the new roadway embankment. This
approach allows the line to stay in its present location.
WSDOT will remove the existing I-405 bridges over
the Springbrook Creek side channel and Oakesdale
Avenue and replace them with a single northbound
and a single southbound bridge. This approach will
allow for the removal of the Springbrook Creek box
culvert. Construction of the new bridges will be
phased with the southbound bridge built slightly to the
north of the existing roadway. This phasing minimizes
the need to construct temporary roadway to maintain
traffic operations. WSDOT also evaluated the location
of the new bridge piers and selected locations that will
minimize the effect on the existing stream, stream
buffer, and trail that crosses under the bridge.
WSDOT will construct a narrower exit gore from I-405
to the northbound ramp at the SR 167 interchange as
shown in Exhibit 5. By building a narrower exit gore,
the project can be constructed within the existing right-
of-way. This has the benefit of avoiding right-of-way
acquisition, avoiding effects to the wetland outside the
right-of-way, and avoiding effects to the existing Lind
Avenue Bridge.
What is an exit gore?
An exit gore is a roadway feature that
separates an exiting lane from the main
lanes. An exit gore can be defined either
by paint stripes, raised buttons, physical
barriers, or a combination of these.

Retaining walls will help to avoid and
minimize effects on the Panther Creek
wetlands along SR 167
SR 167, southbound from I-405 to SW 41st Street
WSDOT will build a retaining wall along a large portion
of the west edge of SR 167 southbound instead of an
earth fill slope. See Exhibits 6 and 7. The retaining
wall minimizes effects on three wetlands. The
retaining wall has the added benefit of minimizing
right-of-way needs and reduces the effect on existing
utility crossings, in particular, the City of Seattle’s 60-
inch water line and Olympic Petroleum’s two high
pressure pipelines, which all cross under SR 167.
I-405, SR 167 to SR 169
WSDOT will add a lane by restriping I-405 northbound
next to the Talbot Hill retaining wall immediately east
of the SR 167 interchange. Restriping instead of
widening avoids the need to reconstruct the existing
Talbot Hill retaining wall and avoids effects on
properties south of I-405 in this area. Between Talbot
Road and the “S-Curves”, northbound I-405 will be
widened to achieve standard lane and shoulder
widths. Most of this length will be supported by
retaining walls to minimize effects to Thunder Hills
Creek, adjacent properties, and the existing cut slope
south of I-405.
To support the fill required to widen the roadway on
the north side of I-405 next to the outfall for the
original Rolling Hills Creek culvert, the design uses a
retaining wall. By using the retaining wall, the project
improvements at this location can be constructed
without affecting the existing culvert.
WSDOT will use a non-standard design for the I-405
to SR 167 exit ramp. The changes from the design
standards include not providing a recovery lane,
narrowing the distance between the through lane and
ramp, and providing narrower shoulders. While these
changes deviate from WSDOT design standards they
are an improvement over existing conditions. These
features will avoid effects to the existing Rolling Hills
Creek/Thunder Hills Creek channel located between
I-405 and the Renton Cinema complex as shown in
Exhibit 5. Using retaining walls along the west side of
Benson Road avoids effects to Rolling Hills Creek and
the wetlands east of Talbot Road.
WSDOT will use retaining walls to support widening
southbound I-405 south of the Cedar Avenue
overpass. Using retaining walls versus a fill slope,
avoids encroaching on Cedar Avenue and Main
Avenue in Renton.
What is a recovery lane?
A recovery lane is a paved area adjacent
to an off-ramp. This area gives drivers,
who find themselves exiting the freeway
unintentionally, room to maneuver back
onto the freeway.
INTRODUCTION
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
16 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
WSDOT also plans to replace the existing Benson
Road overpass on a new alignment. The new bridge
will be located slightly to the west of the existing
bridge. This will allow traffic to continue to use the
existing overpass until the new one is completed. This
will minimize disruption for local traffic and to
emergency response vehicles.
Where northbound and southbound I-405 passes
under the Renton Avenue and Cedar Avenue
overpasses, WSDOT will add lanes by restriping. This
design avoids replacing the two overpasses; however,
the available area does not allow the standard
shoulder and lane widths.
WSDOT shifted a proposed stormwater facility to
avoid effects to the existing Renton Coal Mine Hoist
Foundation site south of Benson Road. This site is on
the Washington Historic Register.
What is planned for wetland and stream mitigation?
WSDOT will compensate for unavoidable effects to
wetlands with credits from the Springbrook Creek
Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank. Mitigation is
needed for 1.66 acres of wetlands.
The Springbrook Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation
Bank is being developed as a joint effort between
WSDOT and the City of Renton. This ‘bank’ will
construct a new high quality wetland complex that will
serve to replace other wetlands that are filled in by
projects such as the Renton Nickel Improvement
Project. The location of the bank is shown to the left.
In addition to wetland mitigation, the site will also
provide flood storage mitigation. The Springbrook
Creek Wetland and Habitat Mitigation Bank will be one
of the first urban mitigation banks to be certified in
Washington.
To mitigate project effects on streams, WSDOT will
remove the existing Springbrook Creek box culvert.
With the new I-405 southbound and northbound
bridges that will span both Springbrook Creek and
Oakesdale Avenue, the box culvert is no longer
needed. After the new bridges are in place, the box
culvert will be removed and the streambed in that area
will be restored. This will improve fish habitat within
Springbrook Creek. Any additional stream mitigation
required to offset project effects will be accommodated
within the project vicinity.

Cultural Resources Discipline Report 17
What benefits will the project provide?
The Build Alternative will benefit the area by reducing
congestion at chokepoints, reducing the duration of
congestion during peak commuter travel hours, and
improving freight movement.
This section of I-405, from the I-5 interchange to SR 169,
is congested due to large traffic volumes and merging and
diverging traffic. The new lanes will help relieve
congestion by adding roadway capacity. This in turn will
improve safety by providing drivers with more time and
extra room to accelerate or decelerate and move into and
out of the stream of traffic when getting on and off the
freeway. This provides a smoother transition for motorists
as they get on and off I-405 in Tukwila and Renton and
helps decrease rear-end and sideswipe collisions.
The project reduces congestion approaching the SR 167
interchange, and it complements the completed
southbound I-405 to southbound SR 167 flyover ramp.
This project will construct one noise wall along northbound
I-405 from the intersection of South 14th Street and South
15th Street east to Talbot Road. This wall will benefit
residents in that area by lowering the overall noise levels.
Another benefit of this project is that it continues the
application of the Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS)
design choices made by the communities within the
I-405 corridor. The Benson Road realignment will
reflect the most comprehensive application of these
design choices as explained further in the next section.
How will the project incorporate
community design preferences?
The Renton Nickel Improvement Project is being
planned, developed, and designed according to CSS
guidelines. These guidelines establish the community
design preferences used to design the project features.
Working within the framework for the overall I-405
corridor, the Urban Design Guidelines will be adapted to
incorporate the communities’ design preferences. These
preferences will be included in the contract documents
prepared for the Renton Nickel Improvement Project.
The selected I-405 theme of “Culture, Nature, and
Progress,” with nature being the dominant theme, will be
carried into corridor-wide and local I-405 designs.
The new Benson Road overpass is the main project
feature that will receive CSS treatment. The new
southbound and northbound bridges over Springbrook

Road overpass with the CSS Guidelines

INTRODUCTION
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
18 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
Creek and Oakesdale Avenue will also receive CSS
treatments. The rest of the project elements will be
designed to match in color and vegetation type only, as
many of these elements will be affected by construction
of future Master Plan projects. During future Master
Plan phases for the overall I-405 corridor, the approved
CSS guidelines will be applied throughout.
How will the project be constructed?
Construction of the entire Renton Nickel Improvement
Project is expected to take two years, beginning in early
2008 and being completed in late 2010. However,
construction activity will not be constant for the entire
study area throughout this time, and in some locations,
the work will take substantially less time than two years.
Construction will pose some minor inconveniences
because of localized travel delays due to temporary
lane closures and narrowed lanes and shoulders.
At-grade construction
At-grade construction, which occurs on the same
elevation as the existing lanes, will be staged to minimize
traffic delays and detours. Typically, lanes are shifted
toward the median. WSDOT then places a concrete
barrier to close off the shoulder. Staging allows
construction to occur safely without closing lanes for the
duration of construction. Access to construction areas will
occur from the roadway side to minimize property effects.
Bridge construction
Construction of the I-405 bridges will occur in multiple
stages to minimize traffic delays and detours. The
following describes typical staging for bridge
construction. As the first stage, traffic is shifted toward
the I-405 median and the existing lanes and shoulders
are narrowed slightly to allow widening of the existing
structure or construction of the new bridge depending
on the design. In the next stage, traffic is shifted onto
the new bridge area. If the bridge is being replaced
rather than simply widened, the old structure is
demolished after traffic is shifted to the new bridge.
The new Benson Road overpass will also be staged.
The new structure will be built to the west, while the
existing overpass remains in service. After traffic has
been shifted onto the new overpass, the existing
structure will be demolished.
At-grade construction for this project will
likely be staged similar what is shown
above. Here, the southbound lanes of I-5
were shifted toward the median and a
concrete barrier closed off the shoulder to
provide crews a safe work area.
INTRODUCTION
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report 19
Staging areas
Construction staging areas along I-405 and SR 167
will be within the WSDOT right-of-way. Potential
staging areas have been identified as shown on
Exhibits 2 through 9.
Traffic control
Detour agreements with the local agencies will be
obtained after WSDOT awards the contract. A traffic
control plan will be approved by WSDOT prior to
starting construction. The plan’s primary objectives will
be to provide a safe facility, to streamline the
construction schedule, and to minimize reductions to
existing traffic capacity. To lessen effects on traffic, the
duration of activities will be minimized and reductions in
capacity will be limited and will be targeted to a period
when they will have the least effect.
Why do we consider cultural resources as we plan this
project?
Cultural resources refer to places, things, and human
institutions that provide information about people from the
past, their experiences, and their cultural identities.
Cultural resources can include archaeological sites, cultural
landscapes, spiritual places, people, documents, districts,
sites, buildings, objects and structures. Cultural resources
can indicate or provide evidence of historical events and
trends. They provide tangible evidence of people's lives
and significant accomplishments, and reflect significant,
distinctive and vernacular architectural, landscape, and
engineering designs. Cultural resources can also contain
important information for future academic research.
Cultural resources can convey important aspects of our
history to present and future generations.
Several interrelated federal, state, and local laws and
regulations require, and provide guidance for,
consideration of how development projects might
negatively or “adversely affect” cultural resources.
The Renton Nickel I-405 Team used the following
federal, state, and local regulations to determine
whether the project would affect cultural resources.
Federal regulation
The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of
1966, as amended, essentially linked all previous
What types of cultural resources are King
County Landmarks, State Heritage Register
resources or National Register of Historic
Places?
While different processes determine the
significance of a resource at the county,
state, or national level, King County,
Washington State and the federal government
have similar criteria for determining the
significance of a cultural resource. In
general, the resource must:
be a building, site, structure, object, or
district and
be at least 40 years of age (50 for the
National Register) and
meet 1 of 4 criteria including:
association with locally, regionally, or
nationally important events or broad
patterns of history or
association with locally, regionally, or
nationally important people or

historic preservation legislation and authorized the
National Park Service (NPS) to expand and maintain a
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), including
properties of local, state, and national historical,
archaeological, cultural, and architectural significance.
The NHPA also established the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation (ACHP) to advise the President
and Congress and to revise federal and federally
assisted programs. Section 106 of the NHPA requires
federal agencies to take into account how their
undertaking will affect historic properties and to allow
the ACHP, the appropriate State Historic Preservation
Office, and all interested parties an opportunity to
comment before the undertaking occurs. 36 CFR 800
provides specific guidance for following the Section
106 process.
The Section 106 process encourages close
cooperation with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), which also requires federal agencies to
consider the effect of a project on sensitive
environmental resources including cultural resources.
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of
1966 and its implementing regulations apply to
projects requiring approval by an agency of the
Department of Transportation, including the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA). This regulation
requires projects to consider prudent and feasible
alternatives to “use” of a historic property. Use is
broadly interpreted as an adverse effect, although
some adverse effects do not constitute use.
State regulation
Washington’s State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
requires environmental compliance at the state level
and closely resembles NEPA. It requires that
properties listed in or eligible for the Washington
Heritage Register (WHR) be taken into account when
state agency-enabled undertakings affect properties of
historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural
importance (WAC 197-11-960). The WHR is the state
equivalent of the NRHP and sets forth similar criteria
in the evaluation of cultural resources. The WHR,
which is administered by the Department of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP)
identifies and documents significant historic and
prehistoric resources at the state level. Any building
or site listed in the NRHP is automatically listed on the
WHR, and resources listed on the WHR should be
What is the Section 106 process?
The Section 106 process is the process
that requires federal agencies to take
into account how their undertaking will
affect historic properties. 36CFR800 is a
document created by the ACHP to guide
federal agencies through the Section 106
process. There are several key
components to this process including:
Determining if the project is an
undertaking with the potential to
affect historic properties

Effects
Identifying participants and
interested parties

considered eligible for the NRHP for the purposes of
compliance with Section 106 in Washington State.
County regulation
Properties within the unincorporated areas of King
County may be designated and protected as King
County landmarks under the King County Historic
Preservation Program by the King County Landmarks
and Heritage Commission. The Commission was
created through a landmarks ordinance, King County
Code (KCC) 20.62, adopted by the King County
Council in 1980, which also provides controls to
preserve historic sites in unincorporated King County.
The County revised the ordinance in 1995 to include
broader incentives to encourage property owners to
rehabilitate historic properties and to conserve
historically significant landscapes including
archaeological sites and historic agricultural
properties. Through the adoption of interlocal
ordinances, the Commission currently acts as a
municipal landmarks board for 14 cities and towns that
have made agreements with the county for
preservation services (for example, historic survey and
inventory).
What are the key points of this report?
The Renton Nickel I-405 Team identified 124 historic
architectural resources within the project Area of
Potential Effect (APE). One of these resources is
eligible for the NRHP, and this resource (the Renton
Fire Station) and three others are currently listed on
the WHR. None of these resources will be impacted
by the project. The I-405 Team did not identify any
archaeological or ethnographic sites in the I-405
Renton Nickel Improvement Project APE. However,
there are a few areas of moderate archaeological
probability. If crews encounter archaeological
resources during construction activities, additional
studies may be required to evaluate the eligibility of
resources for the NRHP. WSDOT will develop
appropriate mitigation if the resource is found to be
NRHP eligible.
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report 22
EXISTING CONDITIONS
How did we collect information on cultural resources for
this report?
The Renton Nickel I-405 Team collected information
on cultural resources via background research and
field investigations. The project team obtained
background information on the APE by examining
environmental reports, ethnographies, histories,
historic maps, tax records, photographs, site records,
and previous cultural survey reports on file at a
number of agencies and organizations. Through this
background research, we identified previously
recorded archaeological resources, historic and
architectural resources, and other cultural resources in
the Renton Nickel Improvement Project APE and
vicinity. We conducted field investigations to identify
any previously unrecorded cultural resources and
evaluated their historic significance within county,
state, and federal guidance. The specific methods
used to complete these tasks are detailed below.
How did we determine the Area of
Potential Effect (APE)?
The I-405 Team identified the APE through
consultation with interested parties, by reviewing
project maps, and by conducting a windshield survey
of the area. The cultural resources investigations for
the Renton Nickel Improvement Project began by
identifying parties interested in the project and defining
the APE within the area. According to 36 CFR 800,
the APE is the area within which an undertaking may
cause direct or indirect changes to the character of
any historic properties (36 CFR 800.16[d]). Therefore,
the APE can extend beyond the actual area where
construction is planned. We conducted visual
reconnaissance of the I-405 project corridor and
surface roads adjacent to the corridor to determine the
extent to which the project has the potential to directly
and indirectly affect historic properties. We consulted
with King County, the DAHP, and the appropriate
tribes to obtain their views and comments regarding
the definition of the APE and to identify any concerns
they may have regarding cultural resources within the
APE in accordance with the implementing regulations
What agencies and organizations were

of the NHPA (36 CFR 800). Appendix A contains this
correspondence.
For other projects along the I-405 project corridor, the
APE has been determined to extend to one property
outside of the boundary of the corridor. In the case of
the Renton Nickel Improvement Project, however, this
boundary extends to one city block from the current
ROW in select locations to account for an increased
viewshed and auditory range associated with elevation
change and open terrain as shown on Exhibit 10. The
DAHP has concurred with the APE limits for the
Renton Nickel Improvement Project.
The APE for archaeological resources is limited to the
portion of the project where ground-disturbing activities
will be conducted, such as areas for demolition,
construction, staging, equipment storage locations,
stormwater management facilities, and wetland and
stream mitigation sites. The area of ground disturbance
will extend no more than 100 feet on either side of the
existing I-405 roadway, as well as to locations for
stormwater management facilities, temporary
construction areas, wetland and stream mitigation sites,
and other project features.
How did we identify archaeological
resources?
The I-405 team identified archaeological resources
through a combination of background research and
field investigations. The project team researched
archaeological site forms and survey reports on file at
DAHP to identify previously recorded prehistoric and
historic-period archaeological resources within the
APE. We also used environmental, ethnographic, and
historic data to identify potential archaeological
resource locations. Topographic maps were used to
identify areas of flat terrain adjacent to perennial water
sources (available year-round) where prehistoric
resources were likely to be located. We also
examined a variety of historic maps including General
Land Office (GLO) maps, Sanborn fire insurance
maps, street atlases, and others to identify areas of
past land use and to locate historic features that might
have left archaeological remains. Although most of
these structures are no longer standing, the maps
indicate where historic-period cultural resources could
be encountered.
What guidance was used for identifying
archaeological, historical, and
architectural resources?
The Secretary of the Interior's Standards
and Guidelines for Archaeology and
Historic Preservation provides general
guidance for how to identify cultural
resources. Importantly, they identify two
levels of survey: reconnaissance and
intensive survey. The principals of
reconnaissance survey are applied to
windshield and walkover survey.
Intensive survey is a thorough survey of
an area sufficient to determine the
historic significance of cultural resources
and may include shovel testing and
detailed architectural descriptions. The
DAHP publishes detailed guidance on
how to conduct background research,
field investigation, and reporting for
research sufficient to meet the
requirements of Section 106
investigations in Washington State.
What are archaeological site forms?
Researchers typically use Archaeology
Site Inventory Forms to record data on
archaeological resources. DAHP requires
these forms to include information such
as location details, maps, photographs,
boundary definition, cultural context, and
property ownership.

We also visited locations where research suggested
resources might be located to determine the extent to
which modern intrusions may have disturbed such
resources. Finally, archaeologists conducted field
investigations within the APE using reconnaissance
and intensive survey techniques. We inspected aerial
photographs and utilized windshield surveys to
determine the potential for unidentified archaeological
resources within the APE. We also conducted
pedestrian surveys in areas where ground-disturbing
activities will extend more than 100 feet from the
existing I-405 roadway, such as proposed locations for
stormwater detention ponds and wetland and stream
mitigation sites. We walked transects spaced at 66-
foot (20-meter) intervals and excavated shovel probes
in areas that appeared to be sensitive for buried
archaeological remains. Archaeologists excavated
13-inch-diameter (35-centimeter) shovel probes to an
average depth of 16 inches (40 centimeters) below
ground surface, depending on subsurface conditions,
and screened excavated material through 1/4-inch
mesh mounted on shaker screens. Archaeologists
photographed the survey areas and recorded
observations regarding subsurface stratigraphy,
presence of cultural materials, disturbances,
topography, and vegetation.
We determined that while most of the APE is urban
with very little native vegetation, many areas within the
APE have moderate to high probability for containing
prehistoric and historic resources, particularly along
streams. Because the project is mainly limited to the
existing roadway or previously disturbed roadway
margins, we focused the majority of our archaeological
shovel testing at the proposed locations for
stormwater detention ponds. All shovel probes were
negative; the subsurface surveys encountered no
archaeological remains as shown on Exhibit 11.
The proposed location for Stormwater Detention
Pond G1.1 is on the northeast portion of the I-5/I-405
interchange. Although the area has experienced
ground disturbance associated with previous freeway
construction, it remains of moderate probability for
archaeological deposits. This is due to its proximity to
water sources, including the historic Black River
channel, as well as previously recorded archaeological
resources (see Appendix B).
What is a windshield survey?
Windshield surveys (also called
reconnaissance surveys) are surveys that
identify the location and distribution of
historic resources in a certain area on a
broad or general scale. “Reconnaissance
surveys literally consist of driving around
a community and noting the general
distribution of buildings, structures, and
neighborhoods representing different
architectural styles, periods, and modes
of construction. Because
reconnaissance surveys record only
observable information, they may not
provide sufficient information with which
to make determinations of eligibility
beyond architectural significance.”
Washington State Standards for Cultural
Resources, p. 14
What is a pedestrian survey?
Pedestrian surveys are physical
inspections of areas within the APE.
Most commonly, the ground surface is
carefully examined in evenly spaced
transects over the entire area.

Stormwater Detention Pond G1.2 will be located
immediately south of I-405 and southwest of the off-
ramp for SR 181 along the east bank of the Green
River. The channel of the Green River was moved to
the west in 1963 for construction of the I-405/SR 181
interchange. A portion of the original Green River
channel remains 82 feet to the southeast of Pond
G1.2. Prehistoric archaeological site 45KI6 was in the
path of the new Green River channel 246 feet to the
west of Pond G1.2 and was destroyed in constructing
the new Green River channel; however, portions of the
site may be intact in other locations that were not
investigated for the I-405/SR 181 interchange project.
This pond location has a high potential for containing
archaeological deposits due to its proximity to the
original river channel and Site 45KI6. We excavated
four shovel probes as shown on Exhibit 13 and
observed no archaeological remains. We noted two
cherry trees, several horse chestnut trees, and an
overgrown concrete slab in the site area.
The potential staging area for the Springbrook Creek
Bridge replacement was also investigated for
archaeological remains. This parcel is located
between I-405 and SW 16th Street, just west of
Springbrook Creek. The area has moderate
probability for containing archaeological deposits,
despite having been disturbed by clearing due to its
proximity to the creek and previously documented
archaeological resources. The archaeologist walked
transects spaced 10 meters apart within the area and
placed one shovel probe in the center. The
archaeologist observed no archaeological deposits
(Exhibit 14).
The location for Stormwater Detention Pond S1.1 is a
paved and graveled parking lot as shown on Exhibit 4
in the Introduction. Located between I-405 and SW
16th Street, this site has low probability for containing
archaeological deposits due to extensive disturbance
and distance from water sources. We were prevented
from examining soil deposits during the pedestrian
survey by the pavement and gravel.
Stormwater Pond S2.2. is located along the east
shoulder of Benson Road South and west of I-405
(see Exhibit 8 in the Introduction). The pond is
southwest of the previously identified historic resource
45KI211. Two shovel probes were placed at the north
end of this proposed pond near Site 45KI211 (Exhibit
15). These shovel probes contained modern debris
such as plastic bags and glass bottle fragments.

The shovel probe nearest the foundation also
contained a rusted metal fragment, possibly
associated with 45KI211. Generally, the area
surrounding Stormwater Pond S2.2 has been
disturbed and has a low potential for containing
archaeological resources. Three additional shovel
probes also were excavated south of the proposed
detention pond based on an earlier alignment of
stormwater facilities in this area. These tests also
produced disturbed soils.
The proposed location for Stormwater Pond S3.1,
between East Valley Road and SR 167, is situated at
the east margin of the Green/Duwamish River Valley
floodplain. Before 1917, when the opening of the
Lake Washington Ship Canal lowered the lake level by
10 feet, the lower floodplain consisted of marshes and
a maze of intersecting drainages. Once the area was
drained and protected from flooding, industrial
development spread rapidly. The location for Pond
S3.1 has since experienced substantial alterations
from previous development (see Exhibit 6 in the
Introduction). Pavement covers most of the ground
surface, which prevented examination of soil
exposures. We conducted a pedestrian survey and
determined the site to have low probability for
archaeological resources due to the high level of
previous ground disturbance and its distance from any
natural drainage. The drainage flowing along the east
edge of the site (parallel to SR 167) is a product of
landscaping associated with freeway construction.
How did we identify historic and
architectural resources?
The project team used similar methods to identify and
evaluate historic and architectural resources. We
analyzed archival records, historic property inventory
forms, historic and aerial photographs, and historic
maps on file at DAHP, the King County Archives, the
King County Department of Assessments, and the
Puget Sound Regional Branch of the Washington
State Archives. We also consulted a variety of historic
maps and histories on the Tukwila and Renton areas
on file at libraries and other institutions to identify
historic and architectural resources that may not have
been previously recorded on local or state forms. In
addition to these standard research techniques, the
project team accessed available online tax record
databases to identify all aboveground resources 50

years of age and older within the APE. This technique
allowed us to identify architectural properties that
needed to be recorded and evaluated for the project
during the fieldwork.
Finally, we conducted windshield surveys of all historic
resources within the Renton Nickel Improvement
Project APE. All historical resources were recorded in
the Washington State DAHP Historic Property
Inventory Database. As part of the field investigations,
we revisited previously identified buildings and
structures to assess their current state and
architectural integrity. We also recorded all properties
more than 50 years old that were not previously
recorded in state files. We examined the
neighborhoods located east and west of the project to
determine whether a historic district might be present
that had not been previously identified. A relatively
new publication from the National Park Service1 was
particularly helpful in assessing the potential for a
historic district within the APE.
We then conducted reconnaissance (or windshield)
field surveys of these resources. The tax database
provided the year of construction as well as the
property's current use. The team maintained a
database to track each of these resources by tax
parcel number and address to ensure that they were
appropriately mapped. During field survey key
architectural features were recorded, photographs
were taken, and preliminary evaluation of each
resource's historic significance was assessed.
Appendix D provides this information.
How were other cultural resources
identified?
We consulted with tribes that may be affected by the
project to help identify traditional cultural use areas
and areas of historic land use within the APE. These
traditional cultural properties (TCPs) include districts,
sites, buildings, structures, and objects valued by a
community for the role they play in sustaining the
community’s cultural integrity.

What tribal consultations were included?
WSDOT initiated tribal consultation by sending letters
describing the proposed project to the designated
cultural representative of the federally recognized
Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Snoqualmie Indian Tribe,
Tulalip Tribes, the Confederated Tribes of the Yakama
Indian Reservation, as well as the non-federally
recognized Duwamish Tribe. Copies of these letters
can be found in Appendix A. We also conducted
ethnographic research in response to concerns raised
by the Muckleshoot Tribe during preparation of the
I-405 Corridor Program NEPA/SEPA Draft
Environmental Impact Statement. One primary source
is T. T. Waterman’s Puget Sound Geography (ca.
1920), which contains locational and descriptive
information of many Indian place names in the region.
Following archival and literature review of
ethnographic materials on file at various agencies and
institutions, including the University of Washington
Libraries, we reviewed the results with the
Muckleshoot representatives to address their desire to
participate in more detailed consultation. The
remaining tribes have communicated their concerns
during follow-up telephone conversations.
What historical, cultural, and archaeological resources are
in the APE?
Determining what historical, cultural, and
archaeological resources were in the APE involved
background research of previous cultural resources
studies and field investigations to identify any new
resources that may be present within the APE.
What previous cultural resources studies
have been conducted in the area?
Numerous cultural resources studies in the vicinity of
the Renton Nickel Improvement Project APE have
been previously conducted. These have been in
conjunction with commercial and industrial
development within the floodplains of the
contemporary Duwamish/Green River and Cedar
River, especially near the confluence of the historic
Black and White (now Green) rivers (the Black River
ceased to flow shortly after construction of the Lake
Washington ship canal in 1916). Review of these
documents on file at DAHP revealed 82 previous
What is a Traditional Cultural Property?
The National Park Service defines a
traditional cultural property (TCP) as "a
property that is eligible for inclusion in
the National Register because of its
association with cultural practices or
beliefs of a living community that (a) are
rooted in that community's history, and
(b) are important in maintaining the
continuing cultural identity of the
community properties. "

studies within 0.5 miles of the APE as shown in
Appendix B, Table B-2. The most relevant of these
studies are briefly discussed here.
In 1984, Robinson and Krafft performed a cultural
resources study as part of the Environmental Impact
Statement for the SR 405/HOV Lanes Project, South
Renton Interchange to Sunset Boulevard. The
archaeologists identified four properties listed on the
WHR, six properties listed on the King County Historic
Sites Survey, and three unlisted properties that were
later determined ineligible for inclusion as King County
Landmarks, or listing in the NRHP or WHR. The
archaeologists did not report any previously unidentified
archaeological resources. As a mitigation measure
from the 1984 study, Eastern Washington University’s
Archaeological and Historical Services conducted
archaeological monitoring of preliminary construction
work on the south bank of the Cedar River at the
SR 167/Sunset Boulevard interchange.2 The
archaeologists encountered no cultural deposits that
would be considered eligible for listing in the NRHP.
Northwest Archaeological Associates, Incorporated,
conducted a cultural resources inventory of the
proposed Washington Light Lanes Project in 2001.
The inventory consisted of literature review and
windshield survey along the I-405 western right-of-way
(ROW) margin. The archaeologists encountered no
previously unidentified cultural resources and
recommended a “No Historical Resources Affected”
determination as documented in the study.
What previously identified archaeological
resources are in the APE?
The I-405 project team also reviewed archaeological
site forms for previously recorded prehistoric and
historic period archaeological resources located within
and in the vicinity of the APE. These forms provided
information on the variation of site types, site use, age
range, and artifacts that may be encountered during
construction activities associated with the Renton
Nickel Improvement Project. We identified ten

previously recorded prehistoric and historic period
archaeological resources within 0.5 miles of the APE
as shown in Appendix B, Table B-1.
A prehistoric site identified as 45KI6 is the only
previously recorded archaeological resource within the
boundaries of the APE. The site was a shell midden, a
concentration of marine shell (e.g., clam, oyster,
mussel), that is the result of human activity and often
found in association with various artifacts. Artifacts
were previously recorded at this location along the west
bank of the Green River 10 feet below ground surface.
The site was originally encountered during construction
of the I-405/SR 181 interchange in 1963 and the site
was subsequently destroyed by construction.3 In 1978,
the University of Washington’s Office of Public
Archaeology (OPA) reported additional midden deposits
and “wooden posts which formed [a] V-shaped fish trap
in [the] main river (Green River) channel,” but these
deposits also were destroyed during road construction.4
This site is believed to be destroyed, and the bridge
spanning the Green River will not be widened as part of
this project.
These results from previous archaeological surveys in
the vicinity of the Renton Nickel Improvement Project
APE suggest that the edges of both contemporary and
historic river channels within the Duwamish/Green
River and Cedar River floodplains possess a high
probability for prehistoric, ethnographic period, and
historic period archaeological resources. Appendix C
provides a detailed discussion of the environmental
context and cultural sequence of the APE. Although
ground disturbance associated with commercial and
residential development has altered the landscape,
intact archaeological deposits may still be buried
within thick alluvial deposits.

What previously identified historic
resources are in the APE?
The project team identified no properties listed in the
NRHP within the Renton Nickel Improvement Project
APE. However, we identified four historic properties
listed on the WHR and one property listed in the King
County Historic Sites Survey.
The Cedar River Park Railroad Bridge is associated
with the Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad, which
was built by Seattle business interests as a response to
Northern Pacific’s choice of Tacoma as its western
terminus for a transcontinental railroad. The line was
originally known as the Seattle & Walla Walla Railroad
and Transportation Company5 and had a railway
extending from Seattle to Renton by 1877.6 In 1880,
the Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad (C&PS) took
over the line and began extending the rail up the Cedar
River to take advantage of the region’s large coal
deposits. A 16.6-mile section of the line (45KI538) was
formally recorded in 1996 during field reconnaissance
for a proposed fiber optic line.7 This section runs
through the northern end of the APE, between the
Renton Substation and the Renton Fire Station, and
continues for approximately 7.6 miles east along the
south bank of the Cedar River as an abandoned grade.
The rails and ties have been removed and the grade
now serves as a pedestrian trail. The active portion of
the railway continues north across the Cedar River,
over a 130-foot steel Pratt-type through-truss bridge.
Nelson’s survey in 1996 documented various features
and artifacts associated with the grade, including the
Cedar River Park Railroad Bridge, and the survey
concluded that although the railway (45KI538) has not
been formally evaluated for nomination, it is potentially
eligible for listing in both the WHR and the NRHP. The
bridge dates to 1908 and is a typical example of a
through-truss bridge; it does not appear to have
historical or architectural significance that would warrant
listing in the NRHP.

The Renton Substation of the Snoqualmie Falls Power
Company (45KI74) was the first brick building
constructed in the City of Renton and was made with
bricks from King County’s first brickyard.8 Located
adjacent to 45KI538, it is also the only brick building
built before 1906 still standing within the city limits. The
substation was built in 1898 as part of the distribution
system that enabled the generating station at
Snoqualmie Falls to send power to Seattle and Tacoma
for service applications such as street railways and
lighting. It is a three-story, 43- by 43-foot brick masonry
building, located on the eastern periphery of Renton’s
business district and just west of I-405.
The substation interior originally consisted of a single
large room to house the transformers and switching
equipment. By the end of the 1940s, the substation
and its services were no longer required; the building
was sold and the new owner installed a heavy timber
framing system that now divides the space into three
separate levels. In 1953, a single-story, concrete
block addition was built along the west elevation,
obscuring the first story. Subsequent renovation, such
as the addition of new display windows and the
painting of exterior brickwork, has been undertaken to
accommodate various agencies, including the Renton
Area Youth Services and a low-income medical clinic.
The property was denied listing on the NRHP due to
these alterations, but it remains as a visual reminder
of the electrification of Puget Sound communities in
the late 1890s.
The Renton Fire Station (45KI209), located across the
street from the substation at the corner of Houser Way
and Mill Avenue, has remained structurally unaltered
since it was completed in 1942. Designed in the Art
Deco or Moderne style, the symmetrical, concrete
building has a central two-story truck bay
(approximately 30 by 48 feet) and two one-story wings
(each approximately 22 by 60 feet) with horizontal
grooves along the exterior. Rounded corners and
decorative bands that form roofline friezes further
exemplify the Art Deco style.

County Office of Historic Preservation helped fund the
restoration and remodeling of the building, which now
houses the Renton Historical Society and Museum.
The Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation (45KI211) is
an irregularly shaped, solid concrete structure
measuring approximately 24 feet in length, 19 feet in
width, and seven feet in height. The mine opened in
1873, but the existing hoist foundation was not
constructed until 1890. It replaced an earlier hoist
located in the near vicinity. The foundation supported a
Ledgewood steam hoist, which pulled coal-filled cars
out of the mine and lowered empty cars, men, and
materials into the mine. The mounting bolts that held
the hoisting engine and the steel cable reel in place are
still attached to the structure. The foundation and
engine were originally enclosed by a wood-framed
structure with a patched metal roof, but this enclosure
was removed with the engine circa 1920. From the
entrance (now under I-405), the mine’s main slope
descended east at 12 degrees for over a mile and
branched more than 22 times to the north and south.
During the span of its operation from 1873 to 1920, over
1,300,000 tons of coal were removed from the mine.
45KI211 is listed on the Washington Heritage Register
for being the last visible and easily accessible evidence
of the historic Renton Coal Mine and Washington’s
once active coal industry. See also Appendix C.
What historic resources were identified
during the survey?
The project team reviewed the King County tax
records database after a review of project maps and
the windshield survey for the APE determined that
several resources within the APE were likely greater
than 50 years old. The tax database review identified
122 parcels within the APE that contained resources
built before 1956. Of these, two were the previously
discussed, the Renton Substation of the Snoqualmie
Falls Power Company (45KI74) and the Renton Fire
Station (45KI209). A third resource has also been
previously identified (at 1223 South 3rd Street), but
the documentation was for the King County Historic
Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation
(45KI211), looking west

Sites Survey; hence, it did not receive a site number.
Two additional parcels contained historic properties:
the Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad (45KI538)
and the Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation (45KI211)
for a total of 124 parcels containing historic resources
within the APE as shown on Exhibits 16 through 21.
The I-405 Team conducted windshield survey of all
resources 50 years or older within the APE and
recorded 119 new architectural resources. This
involved recording the address and basic architectural
style information, and photographing the resource.
The tax database provided the year of construction as
well as the property's current use. A database was
maintained to track each of these resources by tax
parcel number and address to ensure that they were
appropriately mapped as provided in Appendix D.
The majority of these resources dated to the post-
World War II period and were located on Talbot Hill,
Renton Hill, and sporadically throughout the rest of the
APE. A relatively high number (41) of resources in
downtown Renton and on Renton Hill dated to
between 1900 and 1938 and did not contain significant
modern improvements. These properties were within
the original town limits that were platted and filed in
1876. Renton's boundaries ran from the Cedar River
three-quarters of a mile south along Burnett Street to
Seventh Avenue, east five blocks to Cedar Street, and
north back to the river. This portion of Renton
flourished in the early twentieth century around the
Renton coal mine and the Renton brick factory, known
collectively as the Denny-Renton Clay & Coal
Company after a consolidation in 1905. The brick
factory was at one time the largest producer of paving
brick in the country, producing 58 million bricks in
1917. But its output dwindled after World War I due to
the mass production of the automobile. Automobiles
changed the type of roads needed and the market for
paving brick dwindled.9 Just before World War II, the
Boeing Company drastically increased the production
of airplanes. Thereafter, development of the City of
Renton was much more closely associated with the
aircraft industry.

Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report 47
Currently, I-405 bisects the original town plat on a
north-south axis. Only two and a half of the original
town's 5-block-width are within the APE. Forty-one
resources within this area date to the early to mid-
twentieth century and have not been altered
substantially as shown in Appendix D.
Fourteen additional resources within the APE are
more recent or are so significantly altered that they
would not be easily recognized as a part of this
historic neighborhood. Appendix D provides additional
information on these resources. As part of this
project, the I-405 Team evaluated whether a historic
district exists in this area, but determined that this area
does not constitute a historic district. The results of
this evaluation are discussed in the next section.
What potentially eligible historic
resources are in the APE?
No new historic sites were identified within the project
APE. Four additional resources are currently listed on
the Washington Heritage Register (WHR), and one of
these (the Renton Fire Station) is eligible for the
NRHP. These four resources are: the Renton
Substation of the Snoqualmie Falls Power Company
(45KI74), the Renton Fire Station (45KI209), the
Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation (45KI211), and
C&PS Railroad (45KI538). There are 119 newly
identified resources within the APE that are old enough
to be considered for eligibility to the NRHP, or the
WHR as shown on Exhibits 14 through 20. The project
team evaluated these properties individually and as
possible resources that could contribute to a historic
district. The project team concluded that these
properties are neither individually eligible for the NRHP
nor are they contributing resources to a historic district.
Concurrence with this conclusion will be sought from
the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
The 119 newly surveyed properties largely represent
residences associated with early- to mid-twentieth
century growth of the City of Renton surrounding the
Renton coal mine and brick factory; thus, their
potential historic significance would likely be derived
from their association with an important event or broad
pattern of history (Criterion A) or association with an
important person (Criterion B). An association with an
important architectural style or master architect was
also considered for these resources.
What is a historic district?
Historic districts may contain a variety of
resource types but these resources are
held together by a common historic
theme and time period. Historic districts,
like other historic properties, must also
have definable boundaries.
Per National Park Service Bulletin No. 15
1990, "A district possesses a significant
concentration, linkage, or continuity of
sites, buildings, structures, or objects
united historically or aesthetically by
plan or physical development. "

Erasmus Smithers
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
48 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
The residences on Renton Hill and the commercial
properties in downtown Renton dating to before 1938
can be traced to growth and success of the coal mine
and the brick factory during the pre-World War II period.
However, none of these resources was determined to
be associated with an important person or specific
event, nor were they found to be good examples of a
particular architectural style, movement, or work of a
master architect. These structures largely represent
typical forms from their respective times including Arts
and Crafts Bungalows and American Four Squares.
These forms are quite common in the region, and there
are much better examples in the area. Though the coal
mining and brick making history of Renton is an
important part of its history, none of the newly recorded
properties were found to have played a significant role
in that history, which is essential for considering a
resource to be eligible for the NHRP under Criterion A
for its association with a broad pattern of history. The
Renton Substation of the Snoqualmie Falls Power
Company (45KI74), the Renton Fire Station (45KI209),
the Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad (45KI538), and
the Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation (45KI211) are
much better examples of properties that played a more
direct role in the early to mid-twentieth century history of
Renton.
The I-405 Team also considered whether a historic
district was present. We evaluated these resources
as a potential district under National Register Criterion
A for their association with the early to mid-twentieth
century history of Renton. The team did not evaluate
the entire area where a historic district may be located
because much of it was outside the project APE.
However, the reconnaissance survey afforded the
opportunity to examine many of the properties that
would be part of a potential historic district, and we
believe that the area does not retain sufficient integrity
to qualify for a historic district as defined by NRHP
standards. The potential district would include three
full blocks west of I-405 running from the Cedar River
south to South 7th Street. Although several historic
resources within this area retain individual integrity
and could be considered contributing structures to a
historic district, this overall area lacks integrity of
setting, design, feeling, and association. The
downtown Renton area is largely characterized by
more modern construction such as City Hall,
contemporary city and private office buildings, several
recent commercial properties, and contemporary light
industrial properties dating from the 1960s through the
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report 49
1990s. The downtown area, in fact, retains so few
structures from the early to mid-twentieth century, it
would be impossible to recognize that the town
experienced significant growth during this time.
The current I-405 right-of-way further diminishes this
area's integrity of setting, design, feeling, and
association by separating the industrial and
commercial properties west of the roadway from the
residential properties east of the roadway. There is no
visible connection between the two areas; many of the
more recently introduced buildings and structures are
adjacent to I-405 so that the areas containing the most
resources likely to contribute to the feeling of a historic
district are separated from each other by substantial
modern intrusions. For these reasons, the team
concluded that neither the downtown Renton nor
Renton Hill areas represent a historic district because
they do not retain integrity of setting, design, feeling,
or association. Concurrence with this conclusion will
be sought from the Department of Archaeology and
Historic Preservation.

POTENTIAL EFFECTS
What methods were used to evaluate the project's
potential effects?
The I-405 Team applied the criteria of adverse effects
outlined in 36 CFR 800.5 of the Section 106 process
to determine if the project will have an adverse effect
on any of the historic properties or Washington
Heritage Register (WHR) properties identified for the
project. For the purposes of this project, the team
evaluated the potential effect of the project not only on
historic properties (resources that are on or eligible for
the NRHP) but also on WHR properties; however, it
should be recognized that only resources that are on
or eligible for the NRHP can be adversely affected by
the project as defined by the Section 106 process.
This process serves as a good model for working
through whether or not a project may have an effect
on a WHR property, so it was used to discuss
potential impacts to these properties.
None of the 119 newly recorded resources, described
previously in the Existing Conditions, are eligible for the
NRHP or the WHR, so none of these resources are
potentially affected. Properties that may be affected by
the project include the Renton Coal Mine Hoist
Foundation (45KI211), the Renton Substation of the
Snoqualmie Falls Power Company (45KI74), and the
Renton Fire Station (45KI209). Of these four sites, only
the Renton Fire Station is eligible for the NRHP,
although all four sites are on the WHR. The team does
not feel that the project has the potential to affect the
Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad (45KI538)
because it is at the extreme edge of the project APE
and there are no above ground elements that could be
indirectly affected through changes to the visual
character of the landscape.
Projects like the Renton Nickel Improvement Project
have the potential to affect historic properties directly
or indirectly. Direct effects for this project would likely
be limited to physical destruction or removal of the
property to a new location. Indirect effects for the
Renton Nickel Improvement Project could include
increased noise associated with traffic, introduction of
sound barriers that diminish a property's setting, and
increased vibration that may diminish the property's
structural stability over time. Some specific project
What is an "effect?"
Following 36 CFR 800.16, an “effect” is
an alteration to the characteristics of a
property that make it eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP). Such alterations can be direct or
indirect. Direct effects include physical
alteration, change in use, displacement,
neglect to the point of deterioration,
transfer or sale without agreements that
require preservation, or destruction of a
historic property. Indirect effects include
those likely to affect the property's
setting through the introduction of
audible, visual, or atmospheric features.
Adverse effects may also include effects
that could reasonably occur in the future
as a result of the current project or be
cumulative.
POTENTIAL EFFECTS
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report 51
effects for the Renton Nickel Improvement Project
include:
Alteration of setting and feeling due to construction
of and appearance of new lane configurations and
appearance of stormwater facilities
Alteration of setting and feeling due to
increased noise and vibration associated with
additional lanes
Alteration or destruction of archaeological sites
during construction
The Renton Nickel Improvement Project will not have
an adverse effect on any of the resources under
consideration; however, construction associated with
bridge replacement at Springbrook Creek and
proposed Stormwater Pond G1.2 could encounter
deeply buried archaeological deposits that could not
be identified during survey, and additional archaeology
work may be necessary in these locations. The
following sections describe the specific potential
effects of the project on cultural resources.
Will project construction temporarily affect historic
properties in the APE?
The I-405 Team concluded that no historic properties
would be affected by construction. The project has the
potential to affect the Renton Coal Mine Hoist
Foundation (45KI211) because it is located between
Benson Road and the I-405 roadway and it is adjacent
to one proposed stormwater pond as shown on Exhibits
8 and 20. Site 45KI211 will not be adversely affected
by construction of the pond provided it is not directly
impacted by the pond construction. Additional
resources are too far removed from the construction
area to be affected by construction.
Because the team found that the Renton Hill and
Downtown Renton areas do not qualify for listing on the
NRHP as a historic district, and none of the structures
within the potential district’s boundaries are individually
significant (except those listed above), the project does not
have the potential to temporarily affect these resources.
Though no archaeological resources were identified
here during the survey, the Springbrook Creek bridge
replacement and Stormwater Pond G1.2 have the
potential to encounter deeply buried archaeological
deposits that could not be identified at the time of the
POTENTIAL EFFECTS
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
52 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
survey. Because construction of these project elements
has the potential to affect undiscovered historic
properties, additional archaeological investigation
should be conducted. Such investigations could include
monitoring during construction and/or survey following
removal of fill during construction.
Will the project permanently affect historic properties in
the APE?
The Renton Nickel Improvement Project will not
permanently affect any historic resources in the APE.
As previously mentioned, the project has the potential to
affect the Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation
(45KI211), the Substation of the Snoqualmie Falls
Power Company (45KI74), and the Renton Fire Station
(45KI209); however, the I-405 Team has concluded that
the project will not adversely affect these resources.
Concurrence with this conclusion will be sought from
SHPO.
Both the Renton Substation of the Snoqualmie Falls
Power Company (45KI74) and the Renton Fire Station
(45KI209) are at the outermost edge of the cultural
resources APE. Consequently, the aspects of these
resources' integrity with the highest likelihood of being
affected by the project would be their setting and feeling.
The project does not have the potential to alter the
location, design, workmanship, materials, or association
of these resources because the project will not physically
alter them or their immediate surroundings. The team
has concluded that the setting and association of these
resources will not be altered because these resources
were constructed within an urban environment for the
purpose of serving an urban population. As such,
transportation corridors are appropriate inclusions within
their settings. The project will not introduce any new
elements that are inconsistent with the established traffic
patterns of the area and will not decrease public access
to these properties.
The project has a greater potential to affect the
Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation (45KI211)
because it is located between Benson Road and the
I-405 roadway and it is adjacent to one proposed
stormwater pond. This project element will alter the
immediate surroundings of the Renton Coal Mine
Hoist Foundation (45KI211). The project team
considered whether the introduction of this pond and
the realignment of Benson Road would diminish this
POTENTIAL EFFECTS
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report 53
resource's integrity of setting, feeling, and association.
The team concluded that the project will not adversely
affect this resource. When 45KI211 was nominated to
the WHR it most likely did not retain integrity of
setting, feeling, or association. Moreover, the team
did not feel that the project had the potential to alter
the location, design, workmanship, or materials of this
resource because the project will not physically alter
the Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation. The site form
for this resource was created in 1975 after I-405 had
been constructed. The form stated that the foundation
had been in the same condition along Benson Road
since 1920. Since 1920, I-405 was constructed, but
other visible reminders of the coal mine were no
longer standing at that time. The principal reason for
its nomination to the WHR was that it was considered
“one of the few visible reminders of Washington's once
active coal industry.” The project will not compromise
this resource's integrity of location, design,
workmanship, or materials, and it has previously been
considered historically significant without retaining
integrity of setting, feeling, or association. The project
will not adversely affect the Renton Coal Mine Hoist
Foundation (45KI211) because the project will not
introduce any new elements that will diminish
characteristics of this property that qualify it for
inclusion in the WHR. Concurrence with these
conclusions will be sought from SHPO.
As previously mentioned, construction associated with
the Springbrook Creek bridge replacement and
Stormwater Pond G1.2 have the potential to encounter
deeply buried archaeological deposits that could not
be identified at the time of the survey. Additional
archaeological investigations including monitoring
during construction and/or survey following removal of
fill during construction are recommended.
Finally, because the study team found that the Renton
Hill and Downtown Renton neighborhoods do not
qualify for listing on the NRHP as historic districts, and
none of the structures within the potential district
boundaries are individually significant, the project
does not have the potential to permanently affect
these resources. Concurrence with this conclusion
will be sought from SHPO.
POTENTIAL EFFECTS
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
54 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
Does the project have other effects that could be delayed
or distant from the project?
The I-405 Team examined whether the project might
have an indirect effect on historic properties. An effect
is considered indirect when it occurs later in time or
farther removed in distance from an original project
action. Indirect effects may include effects related to
changes in land use patterns, population density or
growth rate, and related effects on other natural
systems.
The I-405 Team concluded that there would be no
anticipated indirect effects to the Substation of the
Snoqualmie Falls Power Company (45KI74) and the
Renton Fire Station (45KI209) because these
resources are currently within an urban setting that
should not experience any development inconsistent
with their current setting as a result of this project. It is
possible that the Renton Coal Mine Hoist Foundation
(45KI211) could be adversely affected in the future by
widening Benson Road. The foundation is currently at
the south edge of the roadway, and improvements to
this roadway to the south may encourage future
improvements to the north that could plan for the
removal of this resource.
Were cumulative effects looked at for
this discipline?
The team did not evaluate cumulative
effects for this discipline report. A report
of cumulative effects is not needed for
every discipline studied for NEPA and
SEPA documentation. The disciplines
that were studied for cumulative effects
are Air Quality, Surface Water and Water
Quality, Fisheries and Aquatic Habitat,
and Wetlands. The cumulative effects for
these disciplines are presented in the
Cumulative Effects Analysis Discipline
Report.
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report 55
MEASURES TO AVOID OR
MINIMIZE PROJECT EFFECTS
What will be done to avoid or minimize negative effects to
cultural resources?
The I-405 Team has concluded that the project will not
adversely affect any historic properties or WHR
properties; therefore, no avoidance or minimization
efforts are necessary.
What will be done to minimize construction effects?
The I-405 Team does not anticipate any construction-
related effects to the historic properties and resources
that were identified during the survey. The
Springbrook Creek bridge replacement staging and
ecology embankment areas and the Stormwater Pond
G1.2 area may contain deeply buried archaeological
resources that could not be identified at the time of the
survey. Stormwater Pond G1.2 has a greater
likelihood of containing such resources due to its
proximity to Site 45KI6 and the Green River despite
known previous disturbances to this area. The
potential staging area for the Springbrook Creek
bridge replacement and ecology embankments have
less potential for containing deeply buried deposits
due to previous disturbances to Springbrook Creek in
this area and the probability of lower order streams to
contain such resources in the region. Archaeological
monitoring of construction and/or survey following fill
removal at these locations could minimize potential
effects to undiscovered archaeological resources. A
plan for these investigations should be completed that
outlines a process to ensure that archaeological
resources are not inadvertently disturbed during
construction. Such a plan should include a variety of
archaeological methods (including survey, monitoring,
or an unanticipated discovery plan) based on the
probability of the individual areas to contain
archaeological resources.

Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report C-1
C.1 Environmental Context
The character of the study area has changed substantially in the past century. Prior to historic
settlement, Lake Washington, the Sammamish River, and numerous creeks provided a rich aquatic
environment for the Duwamish Indians and their neighbors. These Puget Sound tribes hunted,
fished, and gathered the abundant resources of the waterways and surrounding woodlands and
prairies. Euro-American settlers had an enormous impact on the region by clearing forests,
suppressing fires, draining wetlands, and diverting drainages. The opening of a canal between
Lake Washington and Elliott Bay in 1917 resulted in a lowering of the lake’s water level below its
outlet to the Black River. With water from the lake draining exclusively through the canal, rather
than through the Black and Duwamish rivers, engineers decided to channelize and re-direct the
Cedar River into Lake Washington to make up for the loss of water. The historic Black River
channel was no longer a source of floodwaters in the Duwamish Valley and was reduced to
draining only a small local area.
C.1.1 Natural History
The study area is located along the terraces east of Lake Washington, within the Puget Lowland, a
physiographic trough that runs from Canada to the Columbia River. The topography of the Puget
Lowland is primarily a result of glaciation during the last ice age, with the last stage, the Vashon
Stade, retreating from the area approximately 13,500 years ago (Galster and Laprade 1991:249;
Franklin and Dyrness 1973:16). As the glaciers retreated, meltwater carved many of today’s major
river channels. Glacial till forms the parent material of many soils throughout this part of King
County (Snyder et al. 1973).
During much of the ice age, the region lay beneath a thick layer of glacial ice. However, vegetation
began to re-establish shortly after the glaciers' retreat. Various species of pine and other pioneer
plants quickly established themselves on glacial outwash deposits, giving way to Douglas fir and
other plants from 8,000 to 5,000 years ago when the climate was about 2° Celsius warmer than at
present (Whitlock 1992). The modern climatic regime was established about 5,000 years ago, as
signaled by the presence of western redcedar throughout the Puget Sound area.
The large trough that developed into Lake Washington was one of many north-south trending
depressions formed by the retreating ice of the Vashon Stade. In the immediate postglacial period,
these troughs filled with marine water to form Puget Sound. Lake Washington was a marine
embayment of the Sound before sediments from the Cedar River blocked its connection
(Dragovich et al. 1994). The Lake was then fed by glacial meltwater and ancestral channels of the
Cedar, Duwamish, and Puyallup rivers. Drainage occurred at the south end of the lake via the
Black River, which flowed into the Duwamish River and subsequently into Elliott Bay. The Black
River also collected the waters of the Cedar River, just south of its head at Lake Washington.
Opening the Lake Washington Ship Canal in 1916 dramatically altered these waterways. The lake
level was lowered by 10 feet, exposing a broad terrace around the lake margin. The Cedar River
was diverted into the lake and the Black River ceased flowing. Lake Washington now drains
exclusively through the cuts made for the Lake Washington Ship Canal (Galster and Laprade
1991:249, 288). The I-405 Renton Nickel Improvement Project study area lies within the historic
floodplain of the Black River, now situated within contemporary floodplains of the Duwamish River-
Green River and Cedar River valleys.
The repeated advance and retreat of glacial ice in the Puget Lowland and the resulting changes in
sea level due to melting ice sheets and vertical changes in the earth's crust have shaped the

familiar landscape of the study area. These geologic processes also have major implications for
the preservation and visibility of archaeological remains in the region (Campbell 1981; Johnson
and Stright 1991; Stright 1990; Whittaker and Stein 1992). The deposition of sands and gravels,
as well as erosion and inundation, play a role in determining the nature and age of archaeological
remains recoverable in the region. River valleys, bays, lagoons, and rock outcrops are where
cultural deposits are most likely to be discovered (Stright 1990:461).
C.1.2 Terrestrial Microenvironments
Given the study area’s proximity to Puget Sound and surrounding forests and hills, former
inhabitants of the area had access to rich and varied resources associated with several
environments. The following discussion of terrestrial microenvironments focuses on vegetation
patterns, which form more or less stable and distinctive floral and faunal communities.
The Puget Sound area is located within the Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) Zone, which
represents old-growth, temperate coniferous forests in the region. Within this zone, however, are
many specialized habitats, several of which are represented around the study area. The uplands
are moderately to heavily forested with Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), western hemlock
(Tsuga heterophylla), and western red cedar (Thuja plicata) dominating the overstory. Red alder
(Alnus rubra) and big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) are deciduous components that represent
secondary species in forested habitats and are dominant in disturbed areas. Bogs that formed in
ridgetop depressions are common features and support a variety of plant and animal species
(Franklin and Dyrness 1973).
The vegetation on river bottomlands and lake margins ranges from forests to associations of semi-
aquatic plants (depending upon the level of the water table), drainage characteristics, and
elevation above river level. Thickets of deciduous trees and shrubs grow near lake margins, river
levees, and former river channels, and include willow (Salix spp.), birch (Betula spp.), vine maple
(Acer circinatum), red alder (Alnus rubra), crabapple (Pyrus fusca), and western hazel (Corylus
cornuta). The main understory plants include hardhack (Spiraea sp.), horsetail (Equisetum spp.),
salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis), bulrushes (Scirpus spp.), salal (Gaultheria shallon), and rose
(Rosa spp.). The main groundcover plants include sedges (Carex spp.), skunk cabbage
(Lysichitum americanum), black twinberry (Lonicera involucrata), lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina),
and sweet gale (Myrica gale). Camas (Camassia quamash), wapato (Sagittaria lancifolia),
brackenfern (Pteridium aquilinum), and a host of edible berries were available in the Puget Sound
prior to the 1900s. Native people from all around the Sound would travel south to the Nisqually
prairies to gather acorns from Garry oaks (Quercus garreyana) for roasting in the fall (Suttles and
Lane 1990:489)
The land mammals that occupied these microenvironments are known from ethnohistoric records
and have been identified in archaeological and paleontological studies. Blacktail deer (Odocoileus
hemionus), elk (Cervus canadensis), mountain lion (Felis concolor), black bear (Ursus
americanus), bobcat (Lynx rufus), marmot (Marmota sp.), and coyote (Canis latrans) occupied the
uplands and bottomlands (Campbell 1981; Suttles and Lane 1990). During the spring and fall,
populations of browsing animals may have congregated in river basin and lake margin
environments as a result of the seasonal increase of herbaceous growth. In marshy habitats,
resident mammals included raccoon (Procyon lotor), mink (Mustela vison), otter (Lutra
canadensis), beaver (Castor canadensis), and muskrat (Ondatra zibethica) (Campbell 1981:42).
APPENDIX C
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report C-3
C.1.3 Aquatic Microenvironments
Lake Washington, the Sammamish and Cedar rivers, tributary creeks, and their adjacent aquatic
environments supported a complex of freshwater resources. Although the drainages provided
habitat for a variety of freshwater fish, the most important species exploited by prehistoric peoples
were anadromous fish. Anadromous fish spawn in freshwater rivers, where they are seasonally
concentrated and can therefore be efficiently harvested. Important anadromous fish include coho
(Oncorhynchus kisutch), sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka), chum (Oncorhynchus keta), pink
(Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), and chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha), as well as
cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki), steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Dolly Varden
(Salvelinus malma), and euchalon (Thaleichthys pacificus) (Campbell 1981; Thompson 1978). The
relative importance of each species and the exact timing of the different runs are specific to
individual drainages, which promoted the development of scheduled fishing seasons. Historically,
there was a population of kokanee (a landlocked form of sockeye) distributed throughout Lake
Washington and the Sammamish River drainage (Suttles and Lane 1990:489). Since the early
1900s, the kokanee populations have severely declined in abundance and distribution; they are
currently limited to the Cedar River (Walsh Lake drainage) and Lake Sammamish drainages, and
the Sammamish River and its tributaries (Berge and Higgins 2003). Other freshwater fish included
rainbow trout (a landlocked form of steelhead) and suckers (Suttles and Lane 1990:489).
Other important aquatic resources included animals such as the river otter (Lutra sp.) and as many
as 20 species of waterfowl (Suttles and Lane 1990:489).
C.2 Cultural Sequence
This section presents an overview of the area’s prehistoric chronology, followed by a summary of
the ethnographic period. This section also summarizes the historical background of the area, with
an emphasis on the dominant economies and railroad development in the region.
C.2.1 The Prehistoric Period
Researchers have created several chronological sequences that describe the timing and nature of
cultural change in the Pacific Northwest. Table C-1 shows a regional chronology for the Pacific
Northwest coast, based on the work of Ames and Maschner (1999), which organizes prehistoric
occupation into five developmental periods. Ames and Maschner's model suggests a shift from
small groups relying on generalized hunting and gathering to larger groups with increasing social
complexity and specialized reliance on aquatic resources. A synthesis of Ames and Maschner's
(1999) chronological sequence is summarized below.

*Based on calibrated radiocarbon dates.
**No sites in the Pacific Northwest have been indisputably dated before about 11,000 BC.
Paleoindian (14,000 BC to 10,500 BC)
The Paleoindian period includes the earliest evidence of the movement of peoples from eastern
Siberia onto the North American continent. Sites are small and rarely located, with tool
assemblages dominated by basalt cobble choppers, flaked scrapers, and sometimes exquisitely
crafted fluted, lanceolate Clovis projectile points. These artifacts suggest a highly mobile and
opportunistic culture adapted to the rapidly changing environments and ocean levels that followed
the retreat of the glacial ice cap.
Archaic (10,500 BC to 4,400 BC)
The lack of evidence providing information on this period is partly the result of continued tectonic
activity and fluctuation of ocean levels. Archaic period sites in the Pacific Northwest, including
Cedar River Outlet Channel (45KI125), tend to consist of surface scatters with shallow buried
components. Temporally diagnostic lithic tools provide the only reference points, since little
organic material survives. Large, bifacial leaf-shaped artifacts dating from 7,000 BC to 4,300 BC
dominate artifact assemblages (known as Olcott) of this period. Subsistence strategies during this
period included flexible technologies and broad skill sets applied to the exploitation of near-shore,
intertidal, and terrestrial resources. The archaeological record suggests that populations were
small, mobile, and had not developed technologies to store food.
APPENDIX C
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report C-5
Pacific (4,400 BC to ca. AD 1775)
The Pacific period can be divided into Early, Middle, and Late periods, terminating around AD 1775
when the first Europeans introduced the smallpox virus, which created an epidemic due to lack of
Native American immunity to the virus. In general, hunter-gatherer cultures increased in
complexity during this period, with intensified use of specialized resources, settlement in
permanent village sites, and development of social stratifications.
Early Pacific (4,400 BC to 1,800 BC)
Also described as the Cascade Phase (Suttles and Lane 1990), this phase includes the first clear
indication of the use of specialized resources, such as camas and shellfish. The Early Pacific
Phase is characterized by an overall increase in food production with a focus on intertidal
resources, as illustrated by numerous shell midden sites. These sites also indicate an increase in
sedentism.
Middle Pacific (1,800 BC to AD 200/500)
A few coastal Washington sites characterize the Middle Pacific and include large shell middens,
remains of large rectangular cedar plank houses, and substantial canoes. The tool assemblages
at Middle Pacific Phase sites reveal an increase in complexity and an array of tools manufactured
from antler and bone. Subsistence strategies included an intensification of fishing technologies
and a growing reliance on food storage.
Late Pacific (AD 200/500 to ca. AD 1775)
Sites dating to the Late Pacific are more common and have been studied more intensively.
Consequently, this period is better understood than the previous periods. For example, the well-
preserved Ozette site consists of large cedar plank houses with numerous ceremonial, artistic, and
utilitarian artifacts. Items made of bone, antler, and wood largely replaced chipped stone tools.
Specific seasonal resources, such as salmon and root crops, were used intensively, supplemented
by both terrestrial and marine resources.
C.2.2 The Ethnographic Period (ca. AD 1775 to ca. AD 1885)
The Renton Nickel Improvement Project APE is within the aboriginal territory of the Duwamish
(Spier 1936:34), who occupied a network of villages consisting of large plank houses and short-
term campsites on Elliott Bay, Lake Washington, Lake Union, Salmon Bay, and on the Duwamish,
Green (formerly White), Black, and Cedar rivers. Anthropologists characterize their language as
Southern Lushootseed, a dialect of Southern Coast Salish. The Duwamish thought of the
Duwamish, Black, and Cedar Rivers as one waterway called t-hw-duw, "going inside." The people
living along this river were known as the duw-AHBSH ("inside people"), and then later by Euro-
American settlers as Duwamish (CH2M Hill 2001). The Duwamish consisted of a number of bands,
including the TAHB-tah-byook (or Hah-tshu absh) living on the shores of Lake Washington and the
Sammamish (stslapa'bc) who occupied much of the area along the river and lake that bears their
name (Daily 2003; Swanton 1952).
As with other groups in the southern Puget Sound region, characteristics of this Salish-speaking
culture included an economy based on salmon as a staple, a seasonal settlement pattern that
utilized permanent winter houses located at prominent resource areas, and a society
interconnected through kinship obligations and economic dependence (Haeberlin and Gunther
1930; Miss and Campbell 1991; Smith 1941). During spring, summer, and fall, the villagers
dispersed into small family groups to hunt, fish, and gather plant foods for immediate consumption
APPENDIX C
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
C-6 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
and storage for the following winter. Temporary settlements were systematically shifted among
different microenvironments as various resources became abundant or available in particular
locations. During the winter, the groups returned to extended family villages that were used for
many consecutive years. Few subsistence activities were carried out during the winter rainy
season and most people stayed indoors or near the village, except for occasional hunting forays in
the nearby uplands (Suttles and Lane 1990).
The Duwamish relied primarily on salmon, which was abundant in the Sound throughout the
seasons. Highly elaborated methods (e.g., the large tripod fish trap, nets, and spearing) were used
when the salmon traveled up freshwater streams to spawn, especially during spring and fall (Smith
1940b:4). The Duwamish also harvested other marine fishes (trout, flounder, and cod), a variety of
freshwater, non-salmonid species (chub, bass, and perch), and shellfish (clams, mussels, and
crabs) from local bays, lakes, streams, and rivers. This diet was supplemented with seasonal
resources including roots, berries, and other plant products, which the women collected. Men
specialized in hunting blacktail deer, elk, bear, beaver, and woodchucks, as well as spearing seals
and porpoises in the Sound, trapping waterfowl in nets, and hunting other birds (Haeberlin and
Gunther 1930; Smith 1940a; Suttles and Lane 1990).
The Duwamish occupied extended family villages associated with the Duwamish, Black, Cedar,
and lower White rivers, lakes Washington and Union, and Elliott Bay. They maintained extensive
relationships with other tribes and villages within the Puget Sound and Cascade foothills. The
Duwamish intermarried, held potlatches, traded, and shared access to natural resources with the
Snoqualmie, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, and eastern Washington tribes. The Snoqualmie
reportedly occupied two villages on Mercer Island during fishing, berry picking, and potlatch
seasons (CH2M Hill 2001:49). Lake Washington was called xatco, “the big lake,” and the people
living around it were known collectively as xa’tcoabc, meaning “lake people” (Ballard 1929:38).
The main village site of the riverine Duwamish or doo-AHBSH, after doo (“inside”) referring to the
Duwamish River, Black River, and Cedar River, was comprised of two clusters of hand-hewn cedar
longhouses. Sbah-bah-DEED (“little mountain”) and too-hoo-DEE-doo (“little inside river”) were
located on opposite sides of the Black River, near the present-day Earlington Golf Course. Just
downstream, at the confluence of the Black and Duwamish rivers was another village, Sqoa’l-qo,
meaning “confluence” (Buerge 1989; Dailey 2003). The main winter village of the Skah-TELB-
shahbsh, or “Skah-TELB people,” was located at the opposite end of the study area, around the
confluence of Cedar River and the Lake Washington outlet. Talbot Creek was said to divide this
group from the Duwamish. One of three, possibly four, longhouse sites (not all may have been
occupied at the same time), Skah-TELBSH was located just west of present-day Renton High
School. This site derived its name from the Skai-TAW, a supernatural being with very long hair
who lived at the bottom of the Black River (Dailey 2003). Anyone wishing to acquire wealth would
wash himself, fast for five days, and dive to the bottom of the pool to meet with the Skai-TAW. This
mythological being was also symbolic of the river’s capacity to sustain life, since salmon
congregated in its deep pools during their migrations (Buerge 1989:14-15). Twhahb-KO (“murky
water”) was another site, located at the Black and Cedar river confluence, while Spah-DEL-gwelh
(“lots of dust on the riverside”) was situated further up the Cedar River. Another house site
belonging possibly to the Skah-TELB-shahbsh was located along the lakeshore at Suh-TEE-cheeb
(“place where one wades”), in present-day Bryn Mawr.
Spanish explorers first visited the Northwest Coast in 1774 and claimed the territory for Spain.
British explorer James Cook charted the coastline in 1778, but Spain was the first to establish a
European settlement, which it did at Neah Bay, on the northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula in
1792. That same year, Royal Navy Captain George Vancouver and Lieutenant Peter Puget first
explored the Puget Sound area. Native people they encountered possessed metal acquired
through trade and seemed to have already experienced a smallpox epidemic. Within the next 100
APPENDIX C

years, native populations would plummet due to repeated outbreaks of introduced diseases such
as smallpox, malaria, measles, influenza, dysentery, whooping cough, typhus, and typhoid fever
(Boyd 1990; Suttles and Lane 1990). Depopulation destabilized many Puget Sound communities
as some villages were abandoned entirely and survivors concentrated in the remaining
settlements. Violence between Puget Sound groups increased as they attempted to rebuild their
numbers through the capture of women and children (CH2M Hill 2001).
By 1833, the Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) established an agricultural settlement, Fort Nisqually,
near the mouth of the Nisqually River, approximately 27 miles southwest of Tukwila (Stilson 1991).
Charles Wilkes led an American exploration party farther into the surrounding areas in 1841. The
HBC stimulated development in the region that attracted explorers, fur traders, and their
associates. However, it wasn’t until the late 1840s when the shift from British to American
jurisdiction and the passage of the Donation Land Act of 1850 provided the first real stimulus to
Euro-American settlement. Washington Territory's first governor, Isaac Stevens, systematically
established treaties with tribes in an effort to open additional land for settlement by non-natives. In
1855, members of the Duwamish, Sammamish, and neighboring Puget Sound tribes signed the
Treaty of Point Elliott, which provided for the removal of tribal members to reservations.
By the winter of 1855, frustration over white settlement, dispossession, epidemic diseases, and
government delays led to the Puget Sound Indian War of 1855 to 1856. At the conclusion of the
war, the Duwamish peoples dispersed; some remained near their traditional lands and others
moved to the Tulalip, Port Madison, and Muckleshoot Indian Reservations (CH2M Hill 2001).
Tribal lands and fishing rights eroded through the late 1800s and 1900s, culminating in the late
1900s in a series of lawsuits and court cases that upheld certain treaty rights (Marino 1990; Ruby
and Brown 1992). Today, the Muckleshoot Tribal fishermen have inherited the Duwamish fishing
rights along the Duwamish and Cedar rivers and have re-established sacred places in the area
(CH2M Hill 2001).
The Duwamish Indian Tribe petitioned for federal recognition in 1979. In 2001, the federal
government rejected the petition, reversing the decision of the previous administration to recognize
the tribe (Castro 2001). At present, a number of Duwamish are enrolled with the Muckleshoot and
Suquamish tribes. Many more live in and around the greater Seattle area. The Duwamish Indian
community members continue to pursue recognition, build their community, and maintain their
traditions (Ruby and Brown 1992).

C.2.3 The Historic Period
While Europeans, Japanese, and Chinese made occasional explorations along the Northwest
Coast as early as the sixteenth century, extensive contact did not begin until the 1780s, when
English and American trade along the coast developed rapidly. The first Euro-Americans to arrive
in King County were early nineteenth century explorers, fur traders, and their associates. Royal
Navy Captain George Vancouver and Lieutenant Peter Puget first explored southern Puget Sound
in 1792. This early exploration ultimately led to the establishment of the Hudson’s Bay Company
(HBC) and Fort Nisqually in southern Puget Sound in 1833. The HBC stimulated development in
the region; indeed, much early settlement was restricted to the immediate vicinity of Fort Nisqually,
near what is now DuPont, in Pierce County.
Long before the Indian tribes of western Washington had direct encounters with Europeans, native
peoples felt the effects of the European presence in North America. The horse reached the interior
plateau sometime in the mid-eighteenth century, and horses likely appeared west of the Cascade
Range shortly thereafter. Indians living on the coast, around Puget Sound, and in the lower
Columbia Valley made limited use of horses. For inland groups, the horse provided an important
new means of transportation. Europeans also introduced new diseases; Lewis and Clark saw
evidence that a smallpox epidemic had swept through the lower Columbia region sometime in the
1780s. Furthermore, European settlers brought articles of clothing, kettles and pots, firearms, and
trade beads. The establishment of fur trade companies accelerated the spread of these goods
throughout the region.
In the 1820s, the HBC held a monopoly on the fur trade that would last more than two decades.
The HBC developed a trading network that extended throughout the Columbia drainage. The
center of this network was the HBC regional headquarters at Fort Vancouver, established in 1825
along the north bank of the Columbia River, near the mouth of the Willamette River. During the
reign of the HBC, trade goods were imported to and manufactured at Fort Vancouver, while Fort
Nisqually served as an important secondary distribution center. However, the fur trade in the
Puget Sound area generally proved disappointing because the mild winters did not produce the
best pelts. The HBC valued the area primarily as a buffer for keeping American competitors out of
the interior to the east and north (Irwin 1994:4; McClelland 1953:8).
APPENDIX C
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
C-10 Cultural Resources Discipline Report
The shift from British to American jurisdiction in the late 1840s and the passage of the Donation
Land Act of 1850 provided the first real stimulus to Euro-American settlement in the Pacific
Northwest.10 The first sustained Euro-American settlement in King County began in 1851, when the
Collins, Van Asselt, and Maple families homesteaded land at the present site of Sea-Tac
International Airport and southward along the Duwamish River toward present-day Tukwila. Later
that year, the Denny, Terr, Boren, and Bell families settled at Alki Point in West Seattle but
relocated to the east shore of Elliott Bay after spending their first winter on the wet, windy point.
Local Development
During the second half of the nineteenth century, federal homestead legislation contributed to a
steadily increasing population in the region. In 1853, the U.S. Census reported 170 King County
residents (excluding Indians) and 111 registered (male) voters. Seven years later, the population
of King County had nearly doubled to 300. The county’s population grew significantly through the
decades: 2,100 in 1870; 7,000 in 1880; 63,000 in 1890; and 110,000 in 1900 (History Link 2000).
This tremendous increase in population can largely be attributed to government-subsidized land
grants enabled by the 1862 Homestead Act and its subsequent revisions. Capitalizing on the
region’s natural resources, early settlers made their livelihoods by farming, mining, and logging.
Furthermore, the discovery of coal seams east of Lake Washington resulted in regular crossings of
coal barges, and coal barge workers were known to use “. . . settler’s homesteads . . . as handy

nearby kin” (Buerge 1989:24).
Coal Mining and Logging
The first mining efforts in the Puget Sound region began in the summer of 1869. A group led by
one of Seattle’s founding fathers, Arthur A. Denny, started a prospecting venture within the
Snoqualmie River’s Middle Fork drainage. They located iron ore as early as 1872, and formed the
Denny Iron Mines Company in 1882 (Hollenbeck 1987).
Coal mining was a major catalyst in the growth of King County. The area's larger coal companies,
including the Black Diamond, Newcastle, and Pacific Coast Coal companies, attracted a variety of
laborers to the area. In the late 1800s, most coal workers were of northern European descent,
including Welsh, Scottish, English, Irish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish laborers. By the 1880s,
mines employed Chinese workers, and African American laborers soon joined the workforce as
Newcastle mine strikebreakers, earning up to 20 percent less than white miners. Despite these
inequities, many African Americans continued to work at the mines even after resolution of the
labor disputes (Tobin et al. 1993). It was not unusual for children to work in the coal mines in lieu
of attending school. According to Morda C. Slauson, author of One Hundred Years on the Cedar:
Everyone, particularly boys, started work at an early age. Frank Johnson, now
deceased, who lived his last years on a small farm near Spring Lake, started work in
the mine when he was 12 years old. He got 75 cents for 12 hours work, turning a
homemade fan to force air into the tunnels (1967:6).
10 This inducement to Northwestern settlement required no purchase and granted large parcels of land to "certain white
settlers and Indians of mixed blood" who emigrated to Oregon between December 1850 and December 1853 and agreed
to stay on the land for four years.

Coal mining proved to be profitable for many years, but it declined sharply in the second half of the
twentieth century. In 1975, the last underground mine in Washington State, Palmer Coking Coal
Company’s Rogers No. 3 near Ravensdale, ceased operations. Hindered by costs associated with
increased federal and state safety regulations, as well as a reduced market for coal, small local
mines ceased to be profitable (Slauson 1976:50-52).
Logging in King County began as early as 1872 and peaked around 1910. Initially, logging was
associated with mining. Generally, it was small in scale and tied to specific mining claims and the
access to those claims. During the first several decades, short rail spurs were built into the gentle
river/stream bottoms to access some of the largest-diameter, highest volume stands in each
drainage (Hollenbeck 1987).
Loggers and settlers cleared vast tracts of land for homes and farms, an oftentimes arduous task.
Settlers often burned down trees by boring holes in the trunks and lighting a fire, which weakened
the tree enough that it fell. The earliest logging in the Sammamish River Valley was associated
with clearing land. Settlers near the Sammamish River used oxen to drag logs to the river. From
there, logs floated to Lake Washington where workers assembled them into rafts using a winch-
and-anchor system. Capitalizing on what appeared to be an endless timber supply, logging camps
developed around the region, attracting additional settlers, mills, and spawning the development of
towns north and east of Lake Washington (Historic Resources Survey, City of Bothell,
Washington:15).
Railroad logging continued during the 1930s and 1940s. By the 1970s, harvesting focused on the
upslope areas on both sides of the Sammamish River. In the more recent past, the region
supported sawmills, which were major contributors to the economy of the area and its surrounding
environs, but their prominence has since declined (Hollenbeck 1987).
Tukwila
A member of a Hudson’s Bay party exploring Puget Sound in 1827 made the first recorded
observation of the Duwamish River, but it wasn’t until the 1830s when the Hudson’s Bay Company
District Manager ventured up the river to look for a favorable site for a support station (Reinartz
1991:4). A subject of debate for years, most historians agree that by the time Denny’s party
arrived at Alki, the Collins party had already established themselves on the Duwamish River as the
first Euro-American settlers in what would later become King County (Reinartz 1991:8)
By the summer of 1853, numerous settlements lied outside the newly established Seattle
Township, including several along the Black River. Until the construction of the local railroad line in
the 1870s, travel in the Duwamish and White river valleys was by water, Indian trail, or the rough
wagon roads. The Territorial Legislature passed resolutions in 1854 calling for the construction of
roads in King County, but it wasn’t until after the Indian War of 1855 to 1856 that an established
road, the Military Road, was built through King County, along the Duwamish River. The new road
facilitated transportation within the Duwamish Valley; mill workers could get to their jobs upriver
and farmers could cart their crops into Seattle. Throughout the later decades of the nineteenth
century, settlers were drawn to the rich river-bottom soil of the valley, which was excellent for
growing hops, hay, fruit, and vegetables.
In 1902, the Seattle-Tacoma Interurban Railway was built through the valley and operated until
1928. The electric train effectively “suburbanized” the area by enabling passengers to commute
between their homes in the country and their jobs in the city. As the automobile became more
popular and usable due to new roads, the railway system declined. Transportation along the
waterways was also undergoing change. Following a major flood in 1906, the Duwamish River
was dredged and straightened in stages lasting several years. The White River was diverted from
its original course ten miles to the south, and the Green River now filled the channel.

In June 1908, Tukwila became an incorporated city. Although locals had already used the name
for years to describe their community, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer made it official by declaring
“Tukwila” the winner of their contest to “Name the New Town” (Stein 1999). As transportation
corridors expanded throughout south King County, Tukwila solidified itself as a central hub. City
planners, however, feared that the rapid growth of Boeing and other industries during World War II
might over-industrialize the area. They chose to focus on commercial businesses to sustain
growth rather than on industry. When planning started in the 1960s for two new highways (I-405
and I-5), city planners realized the potential of the crossroads and began planning a new shopping
mall for Tukwila. On July 31, 1968, Southcenter Mall opened with 116 stores built on 30 acres.
In recent years, the City of Tukwila has annexed many smaller nearby communities such as
Riverton, Allentown, Thorndyke, and Foster. The City has sought these annexations for varying
political reasons (e.g., increased protection from crime, land disputes with the County, and closer
governance). By the end of the twentieth century, Tukwila’s population totaled nearly 20,000
people. With industry to the north, a major international airport to the west, and a wide variety of
businesses within and without, Tukwila continues to grow.
Renton
Euro-Americans began to settle outside the newly established Seattle Township shortly after
Congress formed the Washington Territory in 1853. By this time, the Denny party had moved from
their original settlement at Alki to the east shore of Elliott Bay. That same year, Henry Tobin and
three other settlers arrived in the area known today as Renton and established the short-lived
Duwamish Coal Company. In 1854, Tobin helped build a small sawmill along the Black River, in
close proximity to several Duwamish villages (Slauson 1976). The mill was destroyed during the
Puget Sound Indian War of 1855 to 1856 and two of Tobin’s business partners were killed; the
third eventually left the region and abandoned his mining claims. Tobin died of poor health in
1856, leaving the patent of his claim to his widow, Diana. That same year, she married her
neighbor, Erasmus Smithers. After combining the two claims, the couple’s property comprised 480
acres, which included much of present downtown Renton (and all of today’s Renton Shopping
Center). Smithers prospered after establishing a large dairy farm that he eventually sold. The farm
continued to operate until 1953 when Robert Edwards bought it and opened the Renton Shopping
Center in 1960.
In 1862 coal seams were discovered near Issaquah Creek, south of Lake Sammamish. Three
years later, new seams were discovered in the hills east of Lake Washington, dramatically
increasing the amount of traffic along waterways, including the Black River, to extract and transport
the coal to Puget Sound. Erasmus Smithers discovered coal along a streambed in 1873, shortly
after the Northern Pacific Railroad had selected Tacoma rather than Seattle as the terminus of the
transcontinental route. Local promoters organized the Seattle and Walla Walla Railroad and
Transportation Company (S&WW) and planned a route around the southern end of Lake
Washington, over Snoqualmie Pass, to Walla Walla, where hopefully another line (as of yet not
built) would connect it to the east (Armbruster 1999). To ease the burden of financing the railroad,
backers decided to build the line in stages and use the railroad to transport local timber and coal.
Recognizing a prosperous future, Captain William Renton, Erasmus Smithers, and two others
organized the Renton Coal Company in 1874, the first of many coal operations that would fuel
growth in the area. Later that year, another coal seam was uncovered and the Talbot Company
was established. Within a year, the Black River area was transformed from a rural farming
community into an active mining center. Smithers, in association with his business partners, filed a
plat with the county auditor in Seattle and named the town in honor of its financial patron. In
February 1877, Renton became the first town connected to Seattle by a narrow-gauge railroad
track (Robertson 1995:265). In 1880, the Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad (C&PS) took over
APPENDIX C
Renton Nickel Improvement Project
Cultural Resources Discipline Report C-13
the S&WW line and began extending the rail up the Cedar River to take advantage of the large
coal deposits.
After the Northern Pacific Railroad line to Tacoma was completed in 1883, immigration into
Washington Territory increased dramatically. Improvements in transportation fueled growth and by
1900 Renton’s population had reached 1,176, a nearly four-fold increase in 10 years. The town
was incorporated in 1901, the same year a new local industry was established: the Renton Clay
Works began producing brick from the shale overlying the coal seams along the Cedar River. By
1910, the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad provided Renton with a second
transcontinental rail connection and North Renton had been annexed by the town. Besides the
coal mine and the brick factory, Renton also became the site of a rail car manufacturing company,
Pacific Car and Foundry (PACCAR), which served expanding rail networks in the United States,
Alaska, and China. Other industries included a bottle factory, an ice cream plant, a plant that
produced coal briquettes, two lumber companies, and a shingle mill (Buerge 1989:39).
Two notable events marked 1916: the canal between Lake Washington and Elliott Bay opened and
William Boeing took his newly constructed float plane for its maiden flight over Lake Union (Buerge
1989:43). Renton had become the commercial center of the region south and east of Lake
Washington, but the economy suffered a sharp decline following World War I. Competition with
companies offering higher-grade coal from the Rocky Mountains and new energy sources such as
petroleum and hydroelectricity signaled the demise of the local coal industry. The market for
paving brick dwindled as automobile use changed the way roads were built. Fewer jobs and lower
wages after World War I caused a massive strike at the mines that lasted until 1923 when the
remaining workers finally agreed to the decrease in pay (Buerge 1989:63).
Many companies endured. PACCAR began fabricating bridge spans from structural steel.
Automobile traffic was on the rise in Renton with the development of the Sunset Highway. Camps
and small towns emerged along the route as it was built from Seattle, around the south end of
Lake Washington, and on to Snoqualmie Pass. This increase in automobile travel led to a decline
in rail passenger service.
When the water level of Lake Washington was lowered, new land was created along the north end
of Renton. A 2,300-foot, dirt-and-sand runway was built on the flats below Bryn Mawr in 1922. By
1929, Northwest Air Services expanded their operations from Boeing Field on the Duwamish River
to the new runway (Buerge 1989:68). This was the beginning of a new era in development; as the
federal and state New Deal programs materialized, the economy began to improve. In the 1920s
the federal government contracted local companies and funded huge projects like the Grand
Coulee Dam and the Lake Washington Floating Bridge, which opened in 1940. When World War II
began in Europe, the Boeing Airplane Company stepped up production and began building
bombers for Great Britain in its second plant along the Duwamish River. World War II stimulated
the local economy, but by this time, Renton’s growth was increasing at a rate that planners found
difficult to accommodate. Housing and utility issues were addressed when federal funds provided
$4 million for housing and $300,000 for street improvements. The water and sewer systems were
upgraded and expanded, and the school district’s vocational education program received $250,000
worth of machine equipment (Buerge 1989:78-79).
The growing construction, retail sales, and service industries quickly offset a brief post-war
economic slump at the manufacturing plants, but these factories continued to grow in later years.
By the 1950s, Renton had become one of the most important manufacturing companies in the
state. In 1954, Boeing’s Seattle and Renton plants employed 35,000 workers (Buerge 1989:82)..
Transportation projects continued to handle the region’s growing population; communities around
Renton were linked after construction of Highway 405 was completed in the early 1960s. Massive
layoffs at Boeing in the early 1970s had a significant impact on the local economy, but Renton’s

accessibility through major highway, air, and rail connections continued to attract various
manufacturing firms (Buerge 1989:85). Rapid development called for a closer examination of
environmental issues such as the protection of wetlands and the restoration of wildlife habitats.
Within the past few decades, city planners have adopted comprehensive plans that address growth
while also preserving the character of its neighborhoods. As Renton’s economy moved into the
realm of high-tech industry in the 1990s, the city solidified its status as an independent economic
center in the Puget Sound area.

Renton Fire StationHistoric Property Inventory Report forat235 Mill Ave S,CladdingRoof MaterialFoundationNARRATIVE SECTIONArchitect:Ivan M. PalmawEngineer:Date Of Construction:1939-1942Property appears to meet criteria for the National Register of Historic Places:YesProperty is located in a potential historic district (National and/or local):NoThe Renton Fire Station was designed by Ivan M. Palmaw, a Russian graduate of the University of Washington. Palmaw's architecture career began in Saint Petersburg as a student of his uncle, Alexander Kronoff, the last imperial architect of Russia. Palmaw, born Ivan Michael Palov, served in the Russian Army in World War I, but was forced to flee after the Revolution due to his family's close ties with Russian royalty. He lived in the Black Sea area for several years, where he fought with other exiles, and the family name was changed during this time by German officials. In 1920 he joined his uncle, in exile in Shanghai, where he returned to architecture. In 1923, he attempted to enter the Barbarzon in France, a prestigious architecture school, but was denied a visa. He later traveled to Seattle, where he received his degree from the University of Washington in 1929. Palmaw designed several private residences in the Blue Ridge community, as well as the Saint Nicolas and Saint Spiridon, two Byzantine-style Russian Orthodox churches in Seattle. Built between 1939 and 1942 by Works Progress Administration, the architect chose the Art Deco style because of his admiration for it, despite its waning popularity at the time. Renton first organized a volunteer fire department in 1903, and this group became an official division of the city in 1908. A frame structure was replaced with a brick structure in 1923, which also served as city hall. By the early 1930s, the area was growing so rapidly that a larger department was necessary; however, the economic downturn created by the Depression left the city unable to garner the funds necessary to construct a new facility. The federal government agreed to fund the construction in 1939, in part due to the population boom that was predicted surrounding the Boeing plant. The Renton Fire Station appears to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C because it embodies distinctive characteristics of the Art Deco style and retains integrity of location, design, workmanship, materials, feeling and association. The building was symmetrically designed with rounded front corners in the Art Deco style. The building was built at an angle to its lot, allowing a view of multiple faces simultaneously, which adds to the style's preference for smooth lines in relation to the surrounding landscape. Alterations to the original design are limited to the truck bay doors, which were replaced with roll-up steel doors. The remaining exterior and interior elements are unchanged. The Renton Fire Station is currently on the Washington State Register.Statement of SignificanceJayne Wissel and William Collins, Renton Fire Station National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form, July 4, 1978.Description of Physical AppearanceThis former fire station built in the Art Deco style is now historical museum. The building core square is flanked by protruding squares with rounded corners. The taller center structure is divided into three sets of recessed tall double doors. The cornice forms a decorative banding across the top. The entrances above the three double doors are scalloped. The two side structures have a wave motif at the cornice and horizontal banding across the front, pairs of vertical windows with horizontal muntins and a center single door with a decorative lite in the top half. A flag is centered on top of the center building, behind which is a tower.Major BibliographicReferencesStudy Unit OtherRoof TypeBuilder:Property potentially contributes to a historic district (National and/or local):Concrete - PouredUnknownConcrete - PouredFlat with EavesPage 2 of 2Printed on 12/13/2005 8:42:10 AM

The modern vinyl siding affects the original design and materials. It is also now surrounded by industrial and commercial properties and has no original feeling or association. It is not associated with an important person or event. It is not part of a historic district.Statement of SignificanceDescription of Physical AppearanceA low slope roof with a shallow cornice and narrow verge board covers this front gable house. The center entry is across a concrete slab porch with iron railing and no hood. The corner window is tripartite wood, the side windows are horizontal wood sliders with a single vertical muntin. It does not resemble a 1918 structure, and is more consistent with post-war housing.Major BibliographicReferencesStudy Unit OtherRoof TypeBuilder:Property potentially contributes to a historic district (National and/or local):Veneer - Vinyl SidingAsphalt / CompositionUnknownGable - Front GablePage 2 of 2Printed on 12/12/2005 4:05:52 PM
