Environmental Assessment. Conveyance and Reuse Naval Reserve Center Seattle, Seattle, WA
Abstract
The Proposed Action is the conveyance of the Naval Reserve Center Seattle, Seattle, Washington (NRC Seattle) to the City of Seattle for park and recreational reuse. The previous site of NRC Seattle, the southern section of Lake Union, was vacated in April 1997. The relocation of NRC Seattle to NRC Everett reduced the unit's base operating support requirements, and provided a site for possible future economic development by the City of Seattle. The NRC Seattle property consists of 5.09 acres located in the south section of Lake Union between Waterways No. 3 and 4. Facilities on the property include a 53,532 sq. ft. Armory Building, a 17,920 sq. ft. classroom (Neptune Hall), a parking area, and various other small storage facilities. The Armory Building is a historic building, built in 1942, eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This building will be reused as a multi-use facility. Neptune Hall, built in 1958 and 1959, is eligible for listing on the NRHP because of its architectural significance to the Seattle region. The remaining structures will be demolished by the City of Seattle for establishing a green, open space, landscaped park. No significant environmental impacts have been identified for the proposed reuse.
