900 foot of falling water over almost a quarter mile up on both sides to the state property. Think redundant
that might be possible down the road if I can hold it together. Just DC current would be great fuck AC & inefficient transformers
Gold silver copper and iron in the creek. The largest land owner in the state had this before me. I think this was Sam Israel's hideout when he wasn't designing the latest marine corps combat boots. He might have been testing them in this very steam
Sam didn't trust Banks so I wonder if anything is possibly buried around here
Israel was born to a
Greek Jewish family in
Rhodes, then part of the
Ottoman Empire, now part of
Greece. He immigrated to the
United States in 1919 and became a shoemaker in
Seattle, Washington. After
World War II, during which he had a military contract to repair
combat boots at
Fort Lewis near
Tacoma, he began to invest in real estate. His holdings, many of them in the
Pioneer Square historic district, were largely dilapidated and undesirable to the majority of investors. Through what
Paul Dorpat in
Pacific Northwest Magazine called Israel's "benign neglect," many of these buildings survived to be renovated after his death in 1994. It was well known among Seattle artists that renting in an Israel building was good for art. He never raised the rent.
Israel established the
Samis Land Company (now simply Samis) to manage his holdings. The name is based on his first and last names. In 1979, he established the
Samis Foundation.
Israel spent much of his later years in
Soap Lake, Washington, which was said to remind him of the land of Israel. He never married. He died in Seattle at age 95. This spot is on the way to soap lake and much closer to Seattle
The
Samis Foundation is supported by Samis and has granted over $100 million toward "enhanc[ing] the quality and continuity of
Jewish life in Washington State and the State of
Israel." The foundation states that over 80% of its annual grants support Jewish education in Washington.
Samis currently owns over 500 parcels in Washington, including 16,000 acres (65 km2) of land outside Seattle. Within Seattle, Samis owns two blocks in
Downtown and 11 historic buildings in Pioneer Square. The
Smith Tower was part of its portfolio from 1996 to 2006, and it currently owns the
Collins Building, among other properties.
