- Report on Designation: Securities Building (seattle.gov)
The Securities Building is directly associated with the initial period of downtown commercial expansion that occurred between 1902 and 1920 as a result of local economic prosperity after the Klondike Gold Rush and in tandem with explosive population growth and suburban neighborhood development.
- Messier 56 (Wikipedia)
Messier 56 (also known as M56 or NGC 6779) is a globular cluster in the constellation Lyra. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1779. It is angularly found about midway between Albireo (Beta (β) Cygni) and Sulafat (Gamma (γ) Lyrae). In a good night sky it is tricky to find with large (50–80 mm) binoculars, appearing as a slightly fuzzy star. The cluster can be resolved using a telescope with an aperture of 8 in (20 cm) or larger.
