Project: Funbox (Interior Tenant Improvement)
Location: 601 S Grady Way, Suite P, Renton, WA
Subject: Response to Tribal Comments on Cultural and Archaeological Resources
To the Duwamish Tribal Historic Preservation Officer,
Thank you for providing your valuable comments and cultural context regarding the proposed
Funbox project located at 601 S Grady Way, Suite P, Renton, WA .
As the Architect of Record for the Funbox project, thank you for your comments
regarding the cultural significance of this area.
To clarify, the full scope of work is an interior renovation of approximately 19,900 sf. It
involves the remodeling of an existing commercial tenant space to accommodate a new
FunBox indoor entertainment facility. Modifications will include a new layout and
finishes, updated lighting, restroom and other modifications.
Because all work is confined to the existing structure and facade, no excavation,
trenching, or groundbreaking activity into native soils will occur. Given this
interior-focused scope, we have established the following protocols for the project:
● Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP): In the highly unlikely event that any
subsurface work becomes necessary, or if any cultural resources are
unexpectedly encountered during construction, all activity will stop immediately.
An IDP will be implemented, and the Duwamish Tribe will be notified immediately
so your representatives have the opportunity to be present on-site.
● Lighting: No exterior site lighting changes are included in this project. Any
illumination required for the new facade signage will be designed to be dark sky
compliant to minimize light pollution.
We appreciate your guidance in protecting these non-renewable cultural resources.
