A Community of Character

Abstract

At just under 8 square miles,16 square miles including the Municipal Urban Growth Area, Lynnwood is a city that has developed over time as a residential suburban community with a thriving regional commercial presence. Much of the city's current building stock was built during the 1960s and 1970s without any architectural standards or review. The community's "urban center" has shifted over the last several decades. Highway 99 was the urban center after World War II, until it shifted to the Alderwood Mall area after its construction in the early 1970s. Through recent efforts by the community, a City Center Plan has been developed to help Lynnwood achieve this vision. Along with the foundation of urban design principles, the appearance of the community is largely determined by the design quality of buildings and structures. The City values urban design through the implementation of its Citywide Design Guidelines, City Center Design Guidelines, Highway 99 Design Guidelines and Transition Area Design Guidelines. These sets of guidelines help improve the current image of the city, define a sense of place, and create functional and aesthetically pleasing development.

“…The church's lifeworld politics for undocumented people is, as Hauerwas claims, today's primary social task of the church to be itself. 76 Through the lifeworld politics, the church can certainly demonstrate how it becomes the gift to the state. …”

The Seminal Contribution of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein to the Development of Modern Jewish Medical Ethics

“…Writing from a Christian perspective based on a covenant of love between human beings and a tacit acceptance of suffering, Stanley Hauerwas also had great difficulty in justifying abortion based on maternal need. He argues that these “selfish” concerns of the mother should not outweigh the claim to life of the fetus and is disappointed in a society that would allow this to happen (Hauerwas ).…”
