Last Month's Trivia Contest Answer
In last month's trivia question, we asked what feature of the UW Seattle campus celebrated its 30th anniversary in August, 2008? 1. Meany Hall
2. The R. Bronsdon Harris Alumni House
3. Barnett Newman's sculpture, "Broken Obelisk"
4. The Burke-Gilman Multi-Use Trail
5. The bronze Husky statue outside Hec Ed Pavilion
The correct answer is #4. The City of Seattle acquired right-of-way in the early 1970s from the Burlington Northern Railroad, which was abandoning a spur line that ran past the UW campus on the south and east. The majority of the new multi-use trail, extending from Gas Works Park to Kenmore, was officially dedicated on Aug. 19, 1978. |
