following images are from my trip to Seattle (late July 2002) |
Adobe Corporate Office
Building (between Freemont Ave & Aurora Ave)
A benefit to having a greenway run along (through) a
business property is the additional security. The "man in
black" (below) approached me to soon after I began walking
around taking pictures. |

|
Natural surveillance from the
corporate office could be improved with better selection of plant material. It's
particularly important that natural surveillance is being performed
on the first floor (in order to rush outside to assist someone and
for observing possible assailants. |

 |
| This
area (to the jogger's left) existed between the vegetation and lake.
Should be landscaped to prevent it from being used as an area of
concealment. |
Bridge
(Aurora Ave) support structure "tagged." |
Secured bollards (I hope rescue crews have the
key) |

|
| View (west) from the Freemont Bridge. Great
surveillance! |
Pedestrians use lower "gravel" path
while bikes and other wheeled contraptions use upper
"paved" path. |

 |
 |
 |
|
|
| Unassigned
space. Lack of lighting and visibility makes this space a potential
problem. Personally, I noticed that pedestrians and cyclists viewed
me with suspension when I was in this area. Moving along just
another 20 feet along the path, folks gave me the normal friendly
Seattle greeting. |

|
| Gas Works Park |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| Lovely open space. Popular for picnics and festivals. |
Nestled in the row of evergreens (separating park from developed
areas) are signs of homeless "homes." |
Homeless belongings located just to the left and
right of this path in the tree lined area (perfect smash-n-grab
potential) |
Limited gray infrastructure... so the trees get
tagged! |

These marina owners and pedestrians were thanking Officer Taylor. |

Vegetation Management = Maintenance |

Importance of maintenance. Difficult to read sign and see the
fire hydrant. |
 |
This was the unlucky vehicle parked in front of the fire
hydrant. |
