Juanita, Kirkland, Washington
Juanita is a neighborhood of Kirkland, Washington located along the northeast edge of Lake Washington. The area, one of the Eastside's most historic, was an unincorporated area governed by King County until it was gradually annexed by Kirkland in 1967, 1988, and 2011. History Juanita Bay was first home to members of the Duwamish tribe, who had a winter village with three longhouses at the mouth of Juanita Creek in today's Juanita Bay Park. The village was known as Tahb-tahb-iuh, which may be Lushootseed for 'Loamy Place' after the composition of the soil, known as loam. The bay was a popular place to harvest wapatoes, an aquatic plant with an edible root. Many of the Native residents died of smallpox in the mid-nineteenth century, but some continued traveling to the area by canoe until at least 1917. Kirkland's earliest European settlers homesteaded in Juanita. Among them was Mary Jane Russell Terry, who is believed to have called the settlement "Juanita" after the 1853 Spa ...

Mummy Juanita
Momia Juanita (Spanish for "Mummy Juanita"), also known as the Lady of Ampato, is the well-preserved frozen body of a girl from the Inca Empire who was killed as a human sacrifice to the Inca gods sometime between 1440 and 1480, when she was approximately 12–15 years old. She was discovered on the dormant stratovolcano Mount Ampato (part of the Andes cordillera in southern Peru) in 1995 by anthropologist Johan Reinhard and his Peruvian climbing partner, Miguel Zárate. She is known as the Lady of Ampato because she was found on top of Mount Ampato. Her other nickname, the Ice Maiden, derives from the cold conditions and freezing temperatures that preserved her body on Mount Ampato. Juanita has been on display in the Catholic University of Santa María's Museum of Andean Sanctuaries (Museo Santuarios Andinos) in Arequipa, Peru almost continuously since 1996, and was displayed on a tour in Japan in 1999. In 1995, ''Time'' magazine chose her as one of the world's top ten discover ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Boundary–Waneta Border Crossing
The Boundary–Waneta Border Crossing connects the town of Northport, Washington with Trail, British Columbia on the Canada–US border. Access is via Waneta Road (formerly Washington State Route 251) on the American side and British Columbia Highway 22A on the Canadian side.

Juanita High School
Juanita High School is a high school in Kirkland, Washington, administered by Lake Washington School District. It was opened on September 4, 1971, as a result of a campaign driven by an education theory known as the "Juanita Concept", developed by John Strauss, who became the school's first principal. It was later discovered that this concept did not work, primarily because of the passing of the "Basic Education Law" in the mid-1970s, resulting in the school later remodeling into a traditional format. The mascot chosen was the "rebel", to represent the rebellious nature of the teaching concept. In June 2018, half the school was demolished and rebuilt to house more students. The whole school has been rebuilt and fully refurbished as of September of 2020. Mascot controversy During the 1980s, the school's logo was altered, utilizing features of the Confederate flag, and depicting the "Running Rebel" as a Confederate soldier. In 2017, a student started a petition to change the mascot, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
