WINN

George Winn spent his formative years

in Kalama, Washington, a small town of
2200 people. George attended Western
Washington University in Bellingham,
Washington for two years before traveling
abroad. After traveling and experiencing
the finer aspects of life George settled
in Seattles Central District. Passionately involved with the Beacon Food Forest
George Winn has seen the character and
feel of Capitol Hills Pike Pine Corridor
change substantially. This growth and atrophy of the historic street fabric pushed
him to write Shadier than Ever, encompassing the stories of change in central
Capitol Hill. George Attends the University of Washington, majoring in Community, Environment & Planning. After college George wants to apply his outreach
and planning skills to urban planning
related issues in the Puget Sound Area.

What will happen to our home? Winn

seeks to answer this question, through
the lens of historic preservation of place
in the Pike/Pine Corridor. In a thorough
inquiry of Seattle zoning laws the drivers
of development have found ways to permit huge developments that displace local business and community. Winn looks
into the future to predict development
patterns in the corridor that will impact
the community, and reflects on the new
community that will surely grow. Will
the new Pike/Pine be the community
that encourages innovation, art, and dynamic activism or will it become a center
for $13 food trucks and Macbook cafes?
Amid cries of gentrification, the growth
of Seattles tech scene, and the demise of
the Seattle dream, Winns work critically
analyzes what will happen to one of Seattles most novel neighborhoods.

Shadier than Ever

Shadier than Ever

The Pike Pine corridor is growing up. Its years as an industrial auto row neighborhood have passed,
and now that the Pike Pine corridors art and gay scene has waned, what will replace it? In Shadier
than Ever: Vertical Change in the Pike/Pine Corridor, renowned urban writer George Winn chronicles the vertical change taking place in the new millennium. In an effort to retain the historically auto
row character the City of Seattle introduced a facade saving scheme that also allowed denser, and taller
developments.
