Everyone agrees that the big reflecting pools in the Pacific Science Center courtyard at Seattle Center are aging. They have also been leaking water, and the Science Center said the entire pool system needs millions of dollars in repairs.
Earlier this year, the Pacific Science Center angered local historic preservationists when theyof partially filling in the reflecting pools in the courtyard of the 1962 landmark with soil to create a meadow or a wetland. Management of the non-profit organization is now revisiting this controversial project, and is seeking community input before coming up with a revised plan.
The February presentation included some very elaborate illustrations, including a few which realistically depicted soil and plants where there’s been mostly water for the past 61 years. Petrie said that in hindsight, the Science Center could have taken a different approach with the visuals they used in that February presentation to the Landmarks Preservation Board.
Eugenia Woo works for the preservation group Historic Seattle. She told KIRO Newsradio via email late Thursday that she has been in dialog recently with the Science Center about the courtyard and the process is now underway.“They told us that they hear the concerns of the preservation community,” Woo wrote. “[So] it will be interesting to see how they address these concerns.”
Before that time, Petrie seemed sincere in her desire to hear concerns from anyone with an interest in speaking up on behalf of the historic elements of the courtyard.
