Yesler2014 Team for 2010 Takes On the EIS Process!!

We are 4 weeks into the Yesler2014 Summer Program for 2010 and things are starting to take shape.

This year's program is focusing on the EIS: Environmental Impact Statement, and Yesler2014, now in it's third year, is deep in the tours, site visits, community interactions, and design concept query.

The material this year is dense to say the least. It is well known that the layers of knowledge required to understand even the basics of the EIS process is challenging. These 12 High School students currently residing in Yesler Terrace are the third class of summer interns learning some of the foundational principals of urban planning, design, architecture, and community building. 

Using materials developed from Youth Planning Network affiliates, partners, and programs, the Yesler2014 Program is working to build youth leadership and participation in civics, local government process, and urban redevelopment.

Open Space, Closed Space. Inside Private, Outside Public. Transition spaces, hybrid spaces, and multi-use spaces. How much space is enough? How does income and class come into play when considering design? 

There are District Energy discussions, environmental considerations, and concerns about equity, balance of uses, and a slew of questions yet to be answered about this historically rich neighborhood.
