Seattle (Wash.). Dept. of Fleets and Facilities. Historical Note

The Fleets and Facilities Department (FFD) manages and maintains municipal real property and facilities, as well as overseeing the City’s vehicle fleet. FFD was created in 2001 in a reorganization of the Executive Services Department, which was itself created from a merger between the Finance Department, the Personnel Department, and the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) in 1997. DAS was created in 1980 with the merger of certain functions of the General Services Department, Building Department, Division of Motor Transportation, and Office of Management and Budget.

ImageBank was created and maintained by the Design, Print, and Copy division of the Fleets and Facilities Department from 1883-2004. Compiled by the City Photographers, ImageBank makes up a large portion of the Photo Archives digital collection with more than 10,000 images. Photograph content depicts dams and energy resources and other public utilities; creeks, watersheds, and environmental restoration; new building construction and renovation; transportation facilities, construction, and maintenance; animals and wildlife; parks and public art; rural and urban areas; City programs and events; City employees at work in various fields; people and cultural activities, groundbreakings and community events; libraries and neighborhoods; and elected officials. Collection also contains scanned images dated before 1999; binders containing slides, negatives, and contact sheets; and photo cd's containing the remainder of digital images that are not found online.
