Part 2 Project Information
RCW 82.14.370(3)defines"public facilities"as bridges,roads,domestic and industrial water facilities,sanitary sewer facilities,earth
stabilization,storm sewer facilities,railroad,electricity,natural gas,buildings,structures,telecommunications infrastructure,
transportation infrastructure,commercial infrastructure,and port facilities in the state of Washington.
Project Name Depot Plaza Project-Open Stage and Restroom Location 611 R Avenue,Anacortes
Facilities
Project Type Public Facilities and Structures Start Date 9/2/2019
Description The Depot Arts and Community Center is located at 611 R Avenue in Anacortes. It was originally the Great
Northern Train Depot built in 1911. The facility is managed by the Parks and Recreation Department and is
available for rent to groups and organizations. This venue attracts events such as the Anacortes Farmers
Market,weddings,graduation parties,retirement parties,concerts,art shows,craft fairs,city functions,church
picnics,classes,dog training,and many more. A Depot Master Plan identifies the plaza area as a need that
includes an open stage and restroom facilities,for which we are seeking funding through this grant program.
These buildings/structures meet the definition of public facilities found in RCW 82.14.370(3).The open stage will
be centrally located in the depot plaza area and will be approximately 350 sq.ft. It will face towards an open
field on one side for larger events,and a smaller courtyard on the opposite side for more intimate
performances,and be capable of hosting events such as festivals and special events. The open stage will serve
as the hub for both small and large events at the Depot Plaza.The site lacks restroom facilities to accommodate
these events and is necessary for further growth of events. The proposed bathroom facility will be
approximately 450 sq.ft.in size to fill that need.
Use of funds Describe the specifics of what funds will be spent on(e.g.,labor,equipment,material,etc.):
The grants funds would be used for the design and construction costs(labor and materials)of the project.This
includes a 450 sq.ft.bathroom facility and a 350 sq.ft.open stage.

Part 5 Value Proposition
Business Is this project supportive of a specific business?If so,how many?Please provide names of businesses if known.
The Depot Plaza Project directly supports the Anacortes Farmers Market including its 95 vendors,as well as the
community and business community at large. The Depot is home to the Anacortes Farmers Market,many
special events,concerts,and art shows just two blocks away from the Central Business District. Providing
modern facilities for special events is key to a vibrant community that relies heavily on these activities to
support its local businesses.Events such as the Anacortes Farmers Market draw people to our island and help to
keep visitors in the area longer and support our local artists and farmers. Improvements to the Depot Plaza will
help these events grow and increase tourism in the City,which will in turn help businesses retain positions,and
create job growth,with the overall effect of supporting the growing economy.
The economic impacts of special events of an area can be categorized into primary and secondary economic
impacts. The primary impact is the direct economic impact of the event.Those who attend the special events
utilize local hotels and accommodations,go to eating establishments and grocery stores,visit stores to purchase
general merchandise,purchase from vendors and exhibitors at the festival,and purchase fuel for their vehicles.
Secondary impacts are those that result from the introduction of new money into the economy and the
spending of wages and salaries by workers supporting these events.
Jobs Describe,in specific detail,how this project will create jobs and/or allow for the retention of current jobs.
Many of the Anacortes community's special events are held at the Depot Plaza. Improving the Park facilities,
layout and programming will encourage expansion of existing events and promote additional opportunities for
events in the City. This translates to more business downtown,at the local grocery stores,gas stations and
businesses throughout the city and Skagit County. While it is difficult to determine the exact number,the City
has utilized the Washington State County Travel Impacts&Visitor Volume study prepared by Dean Runyan
Associates for the Washington Tourism Alliance to estimate the number of jobs that may be created. The
purpose of the study is to document the economic significance of the travel industry in Washington State from
2000-2015.The findings show the level of travel spending by those traveling to and through the state and the
impact this spending has on the economy in terms of earnings,employment,and tax revenue.Other estimates
provided in the report include overnight visitor volume and average daily spending by type of visitor.
From a general perspective,the expectation is they will increase due to the number and size of events held at
the Depot that will have use of the stage and restroom facilities. Obviously,if only a portion of the overall
project is funded and constructed,only a portion of the jobs can be expected to materialize.
"Data to calculate the Job Detail was compiled from the Washington State County Travel Impacts&Visitor
Volume study prepared by Dean Runyan Associates for the Washington Tourism Alliance. The job detail analysis
summary has been provided below with the attached breakdown document titled: Part 5 Value Proposition,Job

PART 5-VALUE PROPOSITION,JOB DETAIL DATA
We have determined the anticipated economic impact of the Depot Plaza Project by applying the theories obtained
from the Dean Runyan County Impact Report from April 2016 to just one event that is and will be held in the renovated
Depot Plaza,the Anacortes Farmers Market. The Anacortes Farmers Market(AFM)is a community-based organization
developed exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Specifically, the AFM supports the education of the
community about sustainable agriculture and local commerce, lessens the burden of the local government through
programs which bring affordable, local produce to the underprivileged (e.g. EBT programs) and supporting local
commerce and tourism, lessens neighborhood tensions through fostering community relations, and combating
community deterioration through the support of local commerce,especially local farmers supporting 95 vendors who
sell their locally grown produce,crafts,flowers and plants,baked goods,art,apparel,food and drink,and music.
Other events currently held at this venue include concerts,art shows,art fairs,weddings,graduation parties,classes,
retirement parties,and craft fairs. The improvements to the Depot Plaza will attract new events that could increase
these projections.
FREQUENCY
The Anacortes Farmers Market is held every Saturday from May to October(26 total Saturdays)
EVENT VISITORS
The Anacortes Farmers Market attracts approximately 2,000 people each Saturday according to a market research
analysis that was conducted by the Anacortes Farmers Market.

Brekke Works,a building consultant located in the Anacortes area prepared a Depot Stage Project plan that the
Depot Design Group reviewed in August 2018 and involved elements such as the north depot master plan,
depot stage and Madrona Grove Art Gallery access proposal,design options,and full material information.
The Depot Master Plan was developed over a six month period beginning in January 2006 by a consultant team
under the guidance of community members and the Depot Master Plan Committee. The Plan was developed in
three phases. The first phase included a review of existing conditions,opportunities and constraints,and
concluded with the identification of a basic framework and alternative design ideas.In the second phase,a
preferred concept and implementation strategy was developed.In the final phase,the preferred concept was
transformed into this final Master Plan.
The team held three public workshops during each phase of work to guide the Plan's development.
•Workshop#1,March 2,2006.
The purpose of this meeting was both to inform the community about the project and to gather ideas on ways
the site could better serve the community.Feedback from this meeting established design principles and visual
preferences,used to generate a basic framework plan and a number of design ideas for the site.
•Workshop#2,April 6,2006.
Participants evaluated and prioritized site concepts and design ideas.Feedback from this meeting was used to
identify the preferred site plan components.
•Workshop#3,May 31,2006.
Participants evaluated the draft Depot Master Plan recommendations;this input was used in finalizing Master
Plan recommendations.
