The six sites to be renamed include: 16 Terminal 105, Terminal 107, Terminal 108, 8th Ave South Street End, Turning Basin 3, and the 17 currently under-construction Terminal 117. 18 19 TEXT OF THE MOTION 20 21 The Port Commission hereby acknowledges the community's input throughout the "Incredible 22 Parks Want Incredible Names" project and adopts the following new names for the belowsix 23 Port-owned parks and shoreline habitat sites: 24 Former Name New Name Terminal 105 Park tulaltx Village Park & Shoreline Habitat (Toolalt, "t-oo-ah-lal-too-wx": Herring's House / A description of where herring live and spawn / Name of an old village site on the west bank of the Duwamish River) Terminal 107 Park hapus Village Park & Shoreline Habitat (haapoos, "ha-ah-poos": Name of a small stream draining across a flat on the west side of Duwamish River) Terminal 108 Park/Diagonal Public Access sbqwa Park & Shoreline Habitat Site (sbaqwah, "s-bah-qwah": Great Blue Heron) Terminal 117 Public Access and Shoreline Duwamish River People's Park & Shoreline Habitat Habitat Turning Basin #3 Salmon Cove Park & Shoreline Habitat Motion xxxx-xx Subject Name Page 1 of 2 8th Ave South Street End tataucid Park & Shoreline Habitat (tathtathootseed, "t-ahth-t-ahth-oots-eed": Where there is something overhead, across the path / A description of logs or branches located above a path or trail) 25 26 27 STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE MOTION 28 29 Many of the public access sites that will be renamed in this motion were established resulting 30 from the Port's 1985 Comprehensive Shoreline and Public Access Plan. The plan was created to 31 identify opportunities for the Port to design and construct shoreline habitat and public access 32 areas as mitigation for cargo facility development. These "hidden gems" along the Duwamish 33 River serve as vital environmental, cultural, and community assets. These shoreline river parks, 34 located as far north as Harbor Island to as far south as Tukwila, are currently named after previous 35 industrial or geographic markers like "Terminal 105Park" or "8th Ave South-street end." For 36 years, community members have encouraged the Port to consider re-naming its parks along the 37 Duwamish River to better reflect the cultural and environmental importance of each site. 38 39 The Incredible Parks Want Incredible Names project aims to empower community members most 40 engaged with the Port's river shoreline parks to participate in the decision making to re-name 41 them. Through a unique partnership with the Seattle Parks Foundation, the Port of Seattle is re- 42 naming six Port-owned public parks along the Duwamish River. The project convened a Review 43 Committee consisting of eight stakeholders representing the backgrounds and expertise of a 44 broad range of Port-park users: environmental stewards, historians, workers, Tribal and cultural 45 heritage experts, youth, and neighboring community leaders. 46 47 By re-naming these Port-owned parks, we are collectively re-connecting to the Duwamish River, 48 critical habitat restoration efforts, and the community's stories about the historical, cultural, and 49 environmental importance of each site. The project strives to strengthen existing and build new 50 relationships between the Port and the community through shared values of river stewardship 51 and community partnership in decision making. 52 53 The new names will be shared widely in public signage and Port outreach. In consultation with 54 tribal historians, the Port will ensure linguistic accuracy, pronunciation and legibility for all names. 55 A legend on how to read and pronounce the Lushootseed names is available below: 56 57 Lushootseed Name Formatting Guide: 58 Example: sbqwa Park & Shoreline Habitat (sbaqwah, "s-bah-qwah," "Great Blue Heron") 59 1.
