- Covington Library, King County Library System (historylink.org)
The Covington Library is located at 27100 164th Avenue SE in Covington. The library opened in 1993, and quickly became one of the busiest in the King County Library System (KCLS), outgrowing its 15,000-square-foot space in less than a decade. A large expansion in 2008 added more space by half, and the library continues to play an integral part in the lives of Covington citizens.
- NGC 300 (Wikipedia)
NGC 300 (also known as Caldwell 70 or the Sculptor Pinwheel Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It was discovered on 5 August 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. It is one of the closest galaxies to the Local Group, and it most likely lies between the latter and the Sculptor Group. It is the brightest of the five main spirals in the direction of the Sculptor Group. It is inclined at an angle of 42° when viewed from Earth and shares many characteristics of the Triangulum Galaxy. It is 94,000 light-years in diameter, somewhat smaller than the Milky Way, and has an estimated mass of (2.9 ± 0.2) × 1010 M☉
