mention

Viretta Park (Seattle) (historylink.org) Viretta Park is located in the Denny Blaine neighborhood in Seattle and has elicited more attention, both locally and internationally, than its tiny size should warrant. The 1.8-acre site is on a steep slope overlooking Lake Washington with access on the west on 39th Avenue E and on the east from Lake Washington Boulevard. Because of infringement on its borders by two prominent citizens, Howard Schultz and Kurt Cobain, litigation was started, which prompted new written policies regarding all of the city parks.

Isaiah 17:1 is a prophecy foretelling the destruction of Damascus, the capital of Syria, predicting that it would be reduced to a ruinous heap. The phrase “burden of Damascus” signifies a heavy judgment against the city, symbolizing God’s sovereign power over nations. The prophecy reflects God’s judgment on Syria and Israel for their rejection of Him and their alliances with foreign powers. While the immediate fulfillment of this prophecy occurred during the Assyrian invasions, some also interpret it as a prediction of Damascus’ future desolation in the end times.
