The Civilian Conservation Corps gave people a job when they needed it, but it also left a vast legacy across the Pacific Northwest

Ninety years ago, times were tough. The stock market crashed, banks were unstable, unemployment soared. The world slid into an economic depression. Northwest farms, timber camps and mines were hard-hit. Hoovervilles sprouted on Puget Sound; the hungry and unemployed marched on capitals in both Washingtons; climate refugees fled the Dust Bowl. But in 1933 an ambitious effort to turn things around began, and it set off a decade of change that utterly transformed the Pacific Northwest.

What’s Happening With: the QualMed office-to-apartment conversion project

Leasing of the first units at The 508 West is likely to begin soon, with the first tenants expected to move in this summer.

Apartment unit pre-leasing will begin soon at The 508 West, a $16 million multifamily construction project at the former QualMed Plaza in the medical district on the lower South Hill, says Nick Brumback, co-president of Spokane real estate development company Brumback Construction Inc. The office building-to-apartment conversion project at 508 W. Sixth, which is highly visible from downtown, has been underway for about two years. “The structural rebuild is done, and we’re working on final exterior and roof-envelop items,” Brumback says. “We have about 60 units complete and ready for the power switchover and the tower crane going away.”

A New Kind of Symmetry Shakes Up Physics

So-called “higher symmetries” are illuminating everything from particle decays to the behavior of complex quantum systems. It’s not an exaggeration to say that every major advance in physics for more than a century has turned on revelations about symmetry. It’s there at the dawn of general relativity, in the birth of the Standard Model, in the hunt for the Higgs.
