Resolution 13-36 passed with a vote 8-1-0
Jim Savitt gave thanks to Gerry Kumata’s and Bruce Lorig’s valuable contribution to the Community
and PPM PDA Council. He noted that with the departure of both Gerry Kumata and Bruce Lorig in
both proximity, there is certainly expertise we are losing from the PDA Council; he reported that the
Nominating Committee would be addressing this issue. Jim inquired through each PDA
Councilmember of the synopsis for what areas the PDA Council should be looking in regards to
experience and expertise with replacement of Bruce Lorig’s Open Council seat.
There was feedback received from the current PDA Council members regarding areas of expertise to
look at for the open Council position. A summary of the PDA Council feedback is as follows;
Patrick Kerr noted that he would look for someone with Development and Retail oriented experience
Betty Halfon noted that she would look for someone with Development and Architecture experience.
David Ghoddousi noted that the candidate should have experience with Finance execution and has
experience with working and execution on a project.
Gerry Kumata noted that we should look for someone with direct professional Property Management
experience as well as Development experience. He added that additional farm expertise is useful as
well.
Bruce Burger noted that we should look for someone with Property Management, Development and
Finance expertise.
Matt Hanna was in agreement with Bruce Burger but did not feel the need to have as much
development expertise since we have contracted consultants with development expertise
Ann Magnano noted that she had agreed with the suggestions from the PDA Councilmembers; she
would like to see greater farm representation on the Council though. She also noted that the Market
should be fairly represented and would like to see more diversity on the PDA Council.
Jim Savitt noted that next month will be his last meeting as Chair of the Pike Place Market PDA
Council. He noted that he is stepping down from his Council position which there will be a new Chair
for the July’s PDA Council meeting.

North project.
i. Action Item: Proposed Resolution 13-33: Approving Cooperation Agreement with WSDOT,
authorizing the Executive Director to complete negotiations for the second WSDOT Parking
Mitigation Agreement and Acknowledging Satisfaction of up to $1million of the contingency in the
MOU with the City of Seattle
Ben Franz-Knight introduced the resolution which states that the Pike Place Market Preservation and
Development Authority (“PPMPDA”) Council (“Council”), pursuant to its Resolution 13-07 approved
and authorized its Executive Director (“Executive Director”) to execute that certain Memorandum of
Understanding (“MOU”) Concerning Redevelopment of the PC-1 North Site Within the Pike Place
Market Historical District by and between the City of Seattle (“City”) and the PPMPDA; and
WHEREAS, the MOU specifically provided, in relevant part, that “[t]he PPMPDA currently anticipates
securing its share of PC-1N design costs incurred after January 1, 2013 from funds available from the
SR 99 bored tunnel project for replacement of surface parking that will be lost when the Viaduct is
demolished. The PPMPDA’s commitment to continue to fund its share of ongoing design costs is
contingent upon the availability of such funding. If such funding is not available, the PPMPDA may
continue to fund its share of such costs using other resources or it may suspend design development
until the Parties can agree on alternative for funding design”; and WHEREAS, the Executive Director
has concluded negotiation of a Cooperation Agreement (“Cooperation Agreement”) between the
Washington State Department of Transportation (“WSDOT”) and the PPMPDA (attached) under
which agreement WSDOT will pay the PPMPDA One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in exchange for the
PPMPDA’s agreement to execute and record a restrictive covenant restricting the use of 450 parking
spaces located in the PPMPDA PC-1S parking garage to short-term parking at specified rates for a
period of three (3) years; and WHEREAS, the Executive Director currently is negotiating an
additional agreement with WSDOT that likely will take a form substantially similar to the Cooperation

in the context of the PC-1N development project contemplated under the MOU reflected in another
restrictive covenant in exchange for the payment by WSDOT of an additional Four Million Dollars
($4,000,000) to PPMPDA; and WHEREAS, the following actions represent or contemplate actions
identified in the PPMPDA Charter that are subject to completion of the Special Disclosure and Review
Process before final action by the PPMPDA Council:
1. Approval of authorization for the Executive Director to execute the Cooperation
Agreement;
2. Approval or ratification of a second agreement with WSDOT restricting additional
PPMPDA parking spaces for short term use, including spaces eventually to be provided in
the PC-1N project; and
3. Security arrangements and other encumbrances that almost certainly will be required for
financings that will need to be put in place in conjunction with the PC-1N project.
WHEREAS, over the past several weeks, the PPMPDA has undertaken and completed the Special
Disclosure and Review Process required under the Charter addressing such matters; and WHEREAS,
upon Council approval of the Cooperation Agreement and its subsequent approval or ratification of
the Executive Director’s execution of the second parking mitigation agreement, the contingency for
the PPMPDA to continue to fund its share of PC-1N design costs after January 1, 2013 will have been
satisfied. Now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED that:
1. The Executive Director is authorized to execute the Cooperation Agreement with WSDOT
substantially similar to the attached draft;
2. The Executive Director is authorized to complete negotiation of and, if necessary and
expeditious, execute, subject to Council ratification, the second parking mitigation agreement
with WSDOT; and
3. Upon receipt of the One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from WSDOT to be provided to the
PPMPDA pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, satisfaction of the contingency reserved in

1, 2013 is confirmed up to the amount of the One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) provided
under the Cooperation Agreement. Upon approval or ratification of the second parking
mitigation agreement and the receipt by the PPMPDA of an additional Four Million Dollars
($4,000,000) from WSDOT, the MOU contingency for the PPMPDA to continue to fund its
share of PC-1 design costs shall be completely satisfied and the PPMPDA, in conjunction with
the City, will proceed to fully implement the MOU.

Manager and Carrie Holmes as the Deputy Project Manager for the PC-1 North Project. He
mentioned that SOJ is also the City’s Project Management team for the Waterfront Project. He noted

Bruce Burger inquired about the anticipated costs for the Project Management Services for PC-1
North through the end of the year and all the way through the end of the project.

for PC-1North. He noted that the issue came up during the interview process with SOJ working with
the Waterfront Project. He noted that we need a Project Manager that fully supports our project and
was concern over the conflict of interest with SOJ. He did note that SOJ was the best qualified
candidate out of the ones interviewed though.
Matt Hanna echoed the similar concerns to what Patrick Kerr noted in regards to SOJ’s involvement
with both the Waterfront Project and PC1-North. He noted that he thinks the potential synergies that
are coming out of this outweigh the potential risks.
David Ghoddousi inquired if Ken Johnson had consulted with the City regarding his interest with
participation with the Market and with the PC-1 North Project.
Ann Magnano noted she had high regard for Ken Johnson and has the upmost respect for him. She

There was a discussion that followed.
Matt Hanna noted that he understands and appreciates the strategic partnerships with the City and
County. He voiced his concern with spending all of our energy with shared goals; he would be in favor
of developing strategies that would directly impact goals that we have established.
Ann Magnano noted that we need to look at the bigger picture and that we need a partner to help us
continue to be a farmer’s market.
David Ghoddousi proposed a friendly amendment to remove the language under paragraph 9 “
purchase of Development Rights and purchase of land to lease to new Farmers” and remove the
language under paragraph 11, “ property management agreements and land acquisition”. Bruce Burger
did not accept the changes to the resolution. David Ghoddousi moved the amendment, Patrick Kerr

We have made great progress on the Pike Place Market Waterfront Entrance (PC1N) project and kicked off our three Express Markets at City Hall, South Lake Union and Pioneer Square. Following approval of the Cooperative Agreement with WSDOT, the agreement has been executed and recorded with the $1 million payment in process at WSDOT. Schematic Design work on the Pike Place Market Waterfront Entrance (PC1N) is also moving forward with multiple meetings including a second Community Meeting, Constituency, MHC and several WRC meetings. The modernization of garage elevators has been completed and is awaiting final inspection for the 2nd elevator for the week of June 24th. The Economy Atrium and Elliott Bay meeting room use is also growing with various regular Market uses as well with increasing rentals for retreats, meetings and events. Tenant improvement work continues for Roberto’s Venetian Trattoria on the Hillclimb and Storyville Coffee in the Economy Market. Storyville anticpates opening in July while Roberto’s Venetian Trattoria anticipates opening later in the summer. Rachel's Ginger Beer is rapidly completing improvements in the First and Pine Building and also plans on opening mid-summer. Key Strategic Issue efforts for the month of May included a review of current parking garage operations, trademarke policy and significant work on the scematic design for the Pike Place Market Waterfront Entrance.

The minutes were approved by acclamation.
II. Announcements and/or Community Comments
Ben Franz-Knight gave a brief update regarding the selected partners for the PC-1North Project
Management Services and PC-1 North Low Income Housing Finance Consultant Services. He noted that
both “Shiels Obletz Johnsen and Beacon Development Group” will be fully engaged by next Monday and
that he is looking forward with working with them on the project.
III. Key Issues and Discussion Items
A. Schematic Design Update
David Miller provided an update on the PC-1 North Schematic Design progress. He noted that the team is
almost completed with roughly fifty percent of the Schematic Design work. He provided a brief overview
on recent meetings regarding PC-1 North including general loading requirements for commercial and
business needs for the site. David Miller and Brian Court gave a presentation on the PC-1 North Schematic
Design update which was also included with the meeting minute’s record.
i. Housing Massing and View Analysis
The Miller Hull team reviewed Housing Massing options for PC-1 North including a view analysis for the
options. The housing options presented included Housing Option 1, which was the previous option noted in
the BB+ design. Housing Option 1 would be considered more livable with the highest Gross Square Footage
but would be at a higher cost to build; there would be roughly 36 available residential units in this option.
Housing Option 2 would be similar to Housing Option 1 but would include an increase in the density of the
space and overall higher Net Rentable Square Footage; there would be roughly 48 residential units in this
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 35
85 Pike Street, Room 500 Seattle, WA 98101 (206) 682-7453 www.pikeplacemarket.org
option. Housing Option 3 would be the most efficient option with a standard double loaded corridor, space
for 40 residential units and the least Net Rentable Square Footage.
David Miller noted we are looking at getting a master use permit in the next few weeks so decisions would
need to be made regarding the designs.
John Finke noted that he likes the concept of the live-work housing design option; he mentioned that this
design option would most likely need to be funded from a different source other than low- income housing
funds.
Brian Court noted that the current housing design option was redesigned to be a foot higher from the
original concept design to make room for the elevator overrun with keeping in mind of the view
preservation.
There was a brief discussion regarding the height of the building for the housing design options for PC-1
North.
Jim Savitt noted that the Full Council and public would need to approve of the proposed foot increase in the
housing design option.
John Finke noted that we need to know the likelihood of financing the housing option; it may not matter
about the height of the building until we know how likely we can fund the housing portion.
Matt Hanna inquired about Seneca Group preparing an analysis on housing cost estimates for PC-1 North.
ii. Commercial Floor plate and ADA route design
There was an overview from Miller Hull regarding the Commercial Floor plate and ADA route design in the
Schematic Design update presentation. There were several illustrations in the presentation which included
the Commercial Plan Study, Commercial Tenant Improvements Study and example of an Interiors Concept
for the site. There was a brief discussion on the concept of a sky duct for mechanical exhaust venting for
the commercial area; the venting would be important for flexibility of the various commercial spaces and
assistance with seasonal weather protection.
There was a brief update on the details on the ramping with the PC-1 North site. Miller Hull reported that
they have been working with an ADA consultant on overall circulation and ADA accessibility in PC-1 North.
iii. Rooftop Program and Design Update
There was a brief update on the Rooftop Program and Design Update in conjunction with Miller Hull and
Berger Partnership. It was noted that the team is brainstorming on conceptual ways regarding design for the

the written responses in regards to the Pike Place Market PDA Report responding to public comments

85 Pike Street, Room 500 Seattle, WA 98101 (206) 682-7453 www.pikeplacemarket.org
written analysis was not responded to in a definitive manner. She lastly mentioned that the book written
from Author Goodwin, Markets: Public and Private still needs to be looked over thoroughly in regards to
designing the PC-1 North Project.
Bob Messina noted that he was having difficulty conceptualizing a southern walkthrough in the design; he
would like that item expressed in future drawings in terms of pedestrian walkways.

Kelly Lindsay noted that the new Market tote included a message regarding parking at the Market at the
bottom of the bag.
Ben Franz-Knight concluded that overall the parking garage is preforming pretty well, noting that the
landscape of the market would change in the next few years. The recommendation was have the interior
of the garage restriped and maintaining the garage and parking operations like it is currently being
manages. He noted that the next phase of signage in the Market would be wayfinding for parking; he could
bring back a simple resolution regarding this and talk to the MHC about the alignment of striping
We fill that the garage is performing pretty well at the moment- giving the landscape of the market will
change in the next few years
The plan is revisiting the stripping plan in the interior of the garage. Really continue to maintain the garage
and parking operations as the way it is, emphasizing market promoting. The next phase is wayfinding
signage for parking. Bring it forward in a simple resolution- no recommendation of dramatic changes.
Bring it back next month. Come back next month talk to MH about the alignment of stripes.
There was a brief discussion that followed.
B. Motorcycle Briefing
Tamra Nisly gave a brief update on motorcycle parking in the Market. She presented the Committee with
an overview of the current parking issue with motorcycles in the Market. She provided two options to
the Committee which included; Option A, Parking Garage Permit and Option B, Do not make a change in
the current parking arrangements.
There was a brief discussion that followed
Patrick Kerr noted that there should be an option C in which we would stripe the parking spots and
install a money box at the existing location.
David Ghoddousi noted that motorcyclists pay in the Seattle area but somehow not in the Market. He
agreed with Patrick that there should be a payment box installed at the existing location with the parking
spots striped.
Ben Franz-Knight noted as operational reason of installing a money box; we could issue parking permits
and stripe the area. He added that we could have a sign made and the only recourse is that we would
need to tow the cars since it is in SDOT’s purview.
Betty Halfon noted that we should check with our insurance policy regarding motorcycle parking.
The next steps would be to move forward with creating a motorcycle permit process and placement of
signage to enforce the motorcycle parking,
C. Programming for Economy Atrium Meeting Room Improvements
Kelly Lindsay gave a brief presentation on the Atrium Meeting Room Improvements. A copy of the
presentation was included with the meeting minute’s record. The objective for the Atrium Meeting Room
Improvements was summarized as follows:
Meeting Space
Primary use for community meetings and auxiliary space for other Market-related functions.
Make spaces available at other times, primarily weekends, for revenue-generating events such as
conferences, weddings, meetings, and receptions
Flexible spaces in the vicinity of the Market are unmatched and will provide new events and
customers.
After the initial capital outlay, these spaces will provide a long term, sustainable revenue stream

This issue was raised under public comment. A year ago we went through a pretty extensive review
process of what we could do with the slabs. The MHC was not in favor of changes. We do have some
options - gentle reminder. We could also place stricter guidelines to attach some equipment- physical
changes to the slabs are going to be very difficult.

because of the work performed in different capital projects. Under the Accounts Receivable Activity Report,
the accounts receivables increased slightly in May. The increase on the Daystall Receivable was caused by

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
We are pleased to present the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority ("the PDA")
financial reports for the year ended December 31, 2012. This report was prepared by the PDA's finance
staff. The 2012 financial statements were audited by the public accounting firm of Peterson Sullivan LLP.
The information presented in this report is the responsibility of the management of the PDA. To the best
of our knowledge, the information presented is accurate in all material respects and is presented in a
manner designated to fairly state the financial position and results of operations of the PDA and includes
all necessary disclosures to present a complete understanding of the PDA's financial affairs.
Profile
The PDA is an independent public corporation created and chartered by the City of Seattle ("the City") in
1973 to own and operate the buildings and open spaces in the Pike Place Market Historic District ("the
District"). After a citizen's initiative in 1971 directed the City to create a Historic District in and around the
Pike Place Market ("the Market") and to rehabilitate the properties therein, the City purchased the majority
of properties in the District, rehabilitated these buildings, and transferred them to the PDA to operate in
accordance with the initiative directive and City charter. The PDA owns approximately 80% of the property
in the District. The PDA is not a component of the City and the City is not financially accountable for the
operations of the PDA. The PDA is an independent public corporation and its governance rests in a twelve
member Council. This Council appoints an Executive Director to administer the affairs of the PDA as
prescribed by its charter.
The charter of the PDA directs the PDA to manage the buildings and open space in the Market so that the
properties and traditional uses of the Market are preserved and maintained. The charter also directs the
PDA to ensure that a place for farmers to sell their goods directly to consumers is maintained, to ensure
that services to low and moderate income persons continue to be provided, and that opportunities for
small, owner operated businesses continue to be available in the Market.
To that end, the PDA provides property management services to over 220 small commercial tenants within
its properties in the nine-acre District. It offers space to four social service agencies at lower-than-market
rates and provides over 300 residential units to the low and moderate income population. The PDA also
offers year-round sales space on a daily basis to farmers wishing to sell direct to the public in a farmer's
market venue. Daily rental spaces (daystalls) that are not rented to farmers are rented to craft vendors
selling their original arts and crafts.
As an independent public agency, the PDA operations are supported entirely from its tenants' rents,
commercial, residential, and daystall, plus minor amounts from investment and miscellaneous sources.
The PDA, as a real estate owner and development entity, has some properties held in separate entities that
it controls. These entities are referred to as component units in these financial statements, and the PDA
itself is referred to as the primary government, as required by the Government Accounting Standards
Board.

Major Initiatives
Beginning in the early 2000s, the PDA began planning for a major reinvestment into the Market properties.
These plans contemplated major systems and infrastructure improvements to the buildings of the Market,
seismic upgrades, accessibility improvements, and major repairs. The PDA worked with the City to place a
Market Capital Renovation property tax levy ("the Levy") on the ballot in 2008. The $73 million ballot
measure was passed, and the PDA began construction in the spring of 2009 on a major renovation of the
Market buildings and systems. Construction is intended to continue through 2013. The objective of this
major undertaking is to preserve the Pike Place Market as a sustainable community and public place for
future generations. The new systems will provide better service and comfort to tenants and visitors.
Additional elevators will improve accessibility, and new public restrooms provide much needed capacity.
The life safety improvements are intended to better protect the buildings and their occupants from fire,
earthquakes, and other natural disasters.
Construction spending for the year ended December 31, 2012, totaled nearly $6.4 million in PDA
properties and those of its component units. The project is divided into Phases, and spending in 2012 was
for Phases III and IV. The budget for Phases III and IV is approximately $20 million, and is expected to be
completed in 2013. The project faced no significant cost overruns or schedule setbacks in 2012 and none
are foreseen in the completion of the project.
Overview of the Financial Statements
Assets of the PDA exceeded liabilities at December 31, 2012, by $99.5 million (net position). Of this, $27.1
million is unrestricted and may be used to meet the PDA's ongoing operating obligations.
Net assets increased by $7.5 million in 2012. Of this, $6.4 million is attributable to the Levy funding of the
renovation project as described above. The remainder of the change in net assets is largely attributable to
a gain from acquisitions of the Pike Place Marketing Funding, LLC ("PPMF") and Pike Place Investment
Fund, LLC ("PPIF") of $2.3 million and loss from operation of $2.1 million in the PDA's normal operations.
Capital assets, net increased by $4.1 million, financed primarily through Levy funding.

The balance sheet presents the assets, liabilities, and net position of the PDA at the end of the fiscal year.
The purpose is to give a snapshot of the financial condition of the PDA at a certain point in time.
Total assets of the PDA amounted to $141.9 million and $142.3 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. Investments in Market properties are reflected in both the PDA (primary government) and
the component units as some of the properties have been master leased to two entities controlled by the
PDA and capital spending has occurred in these properties. The complete financial statements indicate
the full amount of the increase in capital assets.
The PDA's primary asset base is its real property in the Market Historic District and these properties make
up $83.5 million of the total $141.9 million or 59 percent of total assets as of December 31, 2012. The
remainder of the PDA's total assets is comprised, for the most part, of cash, cash reserves, and two loans
receivable, representing 39 percent of the total assets.
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 65
4 065200fs123112 Revised: 5/16/2013 1:45 PM csk
Total liabilities of the PDA were $42.5 million and $50.4 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. The PDA's major liabilities consist of real estate loans, PDA bond issues, and deferred master
lease revenue. The decrease in total liabilities at the end of 2012 from 2011 is due to the acquisition of
PPMF and PPIF, and the subsequent dissolution of the entities, including the PDA's related debt.
Net position represents the PDA's equity and represents a strong financial position relative to the PDA's
debt. Net position is divided into three categories. The first category is capital assets net of related debt
and represents the PDA's land, buildings, structures, equipment, and construction in progress, less any
outstanding debt related to these assets. The second category represents assets, generally cash that has
external limitations on the way it may be used. The last category of net position is unrestricted and these
are available for use in the PDA's normal operations. Certain amounts of unrestricted net position are
designated by the PDA Council for particular uses and those are described in more detail in the notes to
the financial statements.
Statement of Revenue, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position
2012 2011
Operating revenue 9,530,695$ 9,407,412$
Operating expenses (11,665,487) (10,632,714)
Operating loss (2,134,792) (1,225,302)

Changes in net assets 7,548,995 16,696,484
Net position, beginning of year 91,916,924 75,220,440
Net position, end of year 99,465,919$ 91,916,924$
The purpose of this statement is to present the PDA's operations and net revenue earned from those
operations. The PDA's operations are primarily real estate development and management. The PDA's real
estate holdings consist of commercial and residential properties and its primary revenue source is rent
from these holdings. The PDA's purpose is to operate the Pike Place Market in accordance to its charter
mandates, not necessarily to maximize income from operations. Residential rentals are made primarily to
low and moderate income persons, and commercial spaces are leased to small and unique owner
operated businesses at rates not generally available in downtown Seattle. The PDA's objective is to be
financially strong while preserving the traditional character of this unique commercial and residential
community.
With that in mind, operating loss was greater in 2012 compared to 2011.
Non-operating revenue and income reflect the Levy revenue received from the City that was funding the
Market renovation, as well as the gain on acquisition of PPMF and PPIF. This revenue is classified as non-
operating as it is nonrecurring and it is not a part of the PDA's normal operations. Non-operating
revenues also include interest income from reserves and investments.

Economic and Other Factors Affecting the PDA's Future
During 2013 the PDA will continue to invest in maintaining, managing, and supporting the Market’s core
infrastructure, mission, and programs. In addition to ensuring prudent levels of staffing and resources for
basic services in facilities, security, maintenance and capital program, additional support will be allocated
to the following key goals:
Continue development of concepts for the PC-1 North Project.
A concentrated investment in Farm and Food Programs including staff support for the Economy
Atrium Kitchen and event spaces, small farmer recruitment and retention and facilitation of region
wide Food Hub and Food Web effort.
Restructuring of daystall, farm and busker management efforts to facilitate more focused efforts in the
areas of arts and crafts, food and farm.
Management resources to support quality analysis and research of strategic issues.
Marketing programs designed to support key goals and deepen connections between Seattle
residents and the Market including downtown resident use of the Market as their daily food and
shopping resource.
Throughout 2012 the PDA demonstrated great resilience; generally performing better than the broader
economy. This can be attributed to several factors. First, the Market is a well-known destination in
addition to serving as a beloved local resource for daily produce and goods. As a destination, the Market
is generally perceived as having great value with no cost of entry beyond parking or public transit fare.
Further, the Market serves as a food center including produce, prepared meals and full service restaurants.
Most notably, we saw increases in mercantile sales in 2012, a strong indication that the economy is
moving in a direction that provides more discretionary spending.
Projected increases in hiring for 2013 are also positive signals for downtown and the Market with Amazon
rapidly expanding in south Lake Union, new institutions of higher learning establishing campuses and a
host of technology firms and corporations strengthening their footholds in downtown. Gains in tourism,
including increases in cruise passenger traffic are also positive signs. With the increase in employment
opportunities, it will also be important for us to continue to invest in our workforce in the Market to retain
and inspire our dedicated and knowledgeable staff.
We will continue to make prudent investments in annual capital improvements to buildings and
infrastructure in the Market. While a vast majority of these needs have been met through the levy-funded
renovation, thoughtful and consistent annual reinvestment in the Market will ensure long-term
maintenance and preservation.
Planning for the Market’s future will continue with further development of concepts for the PC-1 North
Project schematic designs and further analysis of program components, revenue projections, and
anticipated long-term operating costs. Funding for the ongoing PC-1 North Project planning and design
will be discussed by the PDA Council in December following approval by the City Council of a
Memorandum of Agreement regarding development of the PC-1 North site. In addition to an anticipated
contribution of funds from the City and Alaskan Way Viaduct Parking Mitigation funds, PDA funds for
project design will come from the PDA’s Capital Reserve and Replacement Fund. We will also continue to
actively monitor the impacts to the Market as work related to removal of the viaduct continues to move
north including traffic patterns on Western.
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 67
6 065200fs123112 Revised: 5/16/2013 1:45 PM csk
During 2013 the PDA will dedicate special focus in the Market’s founding mission in food and farm. The
realization of the long held goal of establishing a demonstration kitchen, coupled with the ability to meet
the demand for event space in the Market will allow us to support a significant community need. This
effort dovetails with substantial focus on our Farm Program, including detailed analysis of the Market’s
role in regional Food Huband food equity initiatives, and support for the growth and success of small
farmers and food providers. The Economy Atrium Kitchen and our Farm Program are distinct disciplines;
however, the synergy of these two efforts will allow the Market to continue to take a leading role in
directly connecting consumers to their food producers and further establish the Market as the center of
Seattle’s food culture.
Finally, during 2013 PDA will continue to provide modest, but critically needed, support for the social
service efforts in the Market. Funding is allocated to support a new partnership with AmeriCorps that will
provide full-time volunteers supporting a broad range of services including the Food Bank, Senior Center,
and food equity and access portions of our Farm Program. A modest increase has also been included to
support continued resident advocacy efforts ensuring that residents in need are connected with available
services.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Council
Pike Place Market Preservation
and Development Authority
Seattle, Washington
We have audited the accompanying financial statements and the aggregate discretely presented component units of
the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority ("the PDA"), a public governmental corporation, as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2012, which collectively comprise the PDA's basic financial statements as listed
in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; this includes the design, implementation, and
maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and the standards applicable to
financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the comptroller general of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the PDA's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the PDA's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net position of the
PDA and the aggregate discretely presented component units as of December 31, 2012, and the respective changes in
their net position and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require that the management's discussion and analysis
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Government Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential
part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which consisted principally of inquiries of
management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency
with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained
during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the
information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or
provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our 2012 audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. The
supplementary information on page 33 is presented for the purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part
of the basic financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare
the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated ________________ on our
consideration of the PDA's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to
describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the PDA's
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority ("the PDA"), is a public governmental
corporation established by charter issued by the City of Seattle ("the City") in 1973. The charter obligates
the PDA to preserve, redevelop, and manage the Pike Place Market ("the Market") which resides in a nine-
acre historical district in downtown Seattle. According to the charter, the PDA is required to preserve
these historical properties, assure the Market's economic viability, provide opportunities and services to
low and moderate income people, maintain the tradition of a farmers market for direct sale of fresh
produce by the farmer to the consumer, and enhance the economic health of small owner-operated
businesses, farmers, and craftspeople. The market properties were renovated using a combination of
private and federal funds during the 1970s and early 1980s. In addition, the State of Washington
Department of Community Development has a historic preservation easement on the property.
Some of the market buildings are approximately 100 years old, and the last major renovation was
completed in the late 1970s. At that time, most Market buildings were purchased by the City and
transferred to the PDA. In recent years, the PDA has embarked on a major capital planning program and
has determined that another major investment in Market buildings and systems is needed to continue the
Market's traditional use. The City approved a $73 million property tax levy ("the Levy") through which
$68.6 million will be invested in renovation and upgrades to Market properties over a period of three years
through the PDA, and the remaining $4.4 million will be used by the City to pay costs of issuance and debt
service of City debt incurred. These improvements include seismic retrofitting, mechanical and electrical
upgrades, major plumbing and building repairs and replacements, as well as public amenities such as new
public restrooms and elevators. The Levy was passed by the voters in November 2008, and construction is
substantially complete, although certain projects are expected to be completed in 2013. The PDA earns
the Levy funding by making qualified expenditures. During 2012, the PDA earned $6.4 million in Levy
funds (by making qualified expenditures). Of this amount, $240,000 was receivable at December 31, 2012.
Through December 31, 2012, $64.9 million of the $68.6 million of Levy funds had been earned by the PDA.
Discretely Presented Component Units
LaSalle Senior Housing LLC ("LASLLC"), Pike Place Market QALICB ("PPMQB"), and Pike Place Market QB2
("PPMQB2") are considered component units of the PDA, discretely presented in a separate column on the
face of PDA's basic financial statements. As the managing member of LASLLC, and the managing agent of
PPMQB and PPMQB2, the PDA is financially accountable for and oversees the day-to-day operations of
these three separate legal entities. LASLLC, PPMQB, and PPMQB2 report on a fiscal year-end consistent
with the PDA primary government. They issue their own financial statements. The financial statements of
LASLLC, PPMQB, and PPMQB2 were audited separately. Copies of these financial statements may be
obtained by contacting the PDA. Discretely presented component units are also discussed in Note 13.
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 75
14 065200fs123112 Revised: 5/16/2013 1:45 PM mrb
On December 27, 2012, Pike Place Market Funding, LLC (a discretely presented component unit of the PDA
in 2011) ("PPMF"), as well as Pike Place Investment Fund, LLC ("PPIF"), were acquired by the PDA. Both
wholly-owned subsidiaries were dissolved on December 31, 2012, and therefore, have not been
consolidated in these financial statements (but their assets and liabilities are included in these financial
statements) (see Note 11).
Financial Statement Presentation
The financial statements are presented in accordance with governmental accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Basis of Accounting
Due to its business-like operations, the PDA is considered as a stand-alone proprietary entity. The
financial statements have been prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the
accrual basis of accounting. All assets and all liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with its
activities are included on the balance sheet. Revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are
recorded when an obligation has been incurred. Capital asset purchases are capitalized.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For cash flow purposes, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months that
are not restricted are considered cash equivalents. Designated and restricted cash and cash equivalents
are described in Notes 2 and 3.
The PDA places cash and cash equivalents with banks, and the State of Washington Local Government
Investment Pool ("the LGIP"). The LGIP is an un-rated 2a-7 like pool, as defined by Governmental
Accounting Standard No. 31. Accordingly, participants' balances in the LGIP are not subject to interest
rate risk, as the weighted average maturity of the portfolio will not exceed 90 days. According to
Government Accounting Standards guidelines, the balances are also not subject to custodial credit risk.
The credit risk of the LGIP is limited as most investments are either obligations of the United States
government, government sponsored enterprises, or insured demand deposit accounts and certificates of
deposit. Investments or deposits held by the LGIP are all classified as Category 1 risk level investments.
They are either insured or held by a third party custody provider in the LGIP's name.
At December 31, 2012, the PDA had other cash and cash equivalents in excess of federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable from tenants are due for rent and related expenses and are generally unsecured.
Accounts receivable from the levy consist of unreimbursed capital expenditures from the City under the
Levy. Accounts receivable from others are due for the reimbursement of expenses. Related party
receivables are discussed in Note 4. The PDA considers all accounts greater than 30 days old to be past
due and uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible,
it is generally written off against the allowance. Management determined no allowance was necessary at
December 31, 2012.
Loan Fees and Bond Issuance Costs
Loan fees and bond issuance costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the loans or bonds using
the effective interest method.

Capital Assets
The capitalization policy for building improvements includes all items with a unit cost of $2,500 or more,
and an estimated useful life of more than ten years. The capitalization policy for equipment includes all
items with a unit cost of $500 or more, and an estimated useful life of more than five years. The costs of
normal maintenance and repairs which do not increase the value of the assets or materially extend asset
lives are charged to operating expenses in the year the expense is incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Buildings (excluding the garage) are depreciated over periods up to 70 years. Building improvements and
the garage are amortized/depreciated over periods up to 40 years. Other property and equipment are
depreciated over five years.
Capital assets are also discussed in Note 6.
Net Assets
Net assets are comprised of various net earnings from operating revenue, non-operating revenue, and
expenses. Net assets are classified in the following three components:
Invested in capital assets, net of related debt – This component of net assets consists of capital assets,
net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages,
loans, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of
those assets. As of December 31, 2012, the total invested in capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation, was $83,503,186 and related debt was $14,140,233.
Restricted – This component of net assets consists of external constraints imposed by creditors
(through debt covenants), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or
constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation, that restrict the
use of net assets. The PDA had restricted net assets of $2,997,523 as of December 31, 2012 (see
Note 3).
Unrestricted – This component of net assets consists of net assets that do not meet the definition of
"restricted" or "invested in capital assets, net of related debt."
Classification of Revenue and Expenses
The PDA distinguishes operating revenue and expenses from non-operating items in the preparation of its
financial statements according to the following criteria:
Operating – Operating revenue and expenses generally result from providing rental, parking, and security
services in connection with the PDA's principal ongoing operations. Principal operating revenues include
rent, parking, property management, and security fees. Operating expenses include property
management, parking, security, professional fees and other expenses related to delivery of rental, parking,
and security services.
Non-operating – All revenue and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non-operating
revenue and expenses. Levy revenue is considered non-operating revenue as it is restricted for
construction projects planned over the next year. Levy revenue is recognized when renovation
expenditures are incurred and determined to be qualified as reimbursable under the Levy. Gain on
acquisition of PPMF and PPIF is also considered non-operating income as it is non-recurring (refer to
further discussion of the gain on acquisition in Note 11).
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 77
16 065200fs123112 Revised: 5/16/2013 1:45 PM mrb
Rent Revenue
The PDA receives regular monthly income from residential and commercial tenants under operating leases.
Revenue is recognized at the face value of the lease agreement rather than on the straight-line method
over the lease term as management believes the difference would be immaterial. Residential leases are
stated at a fixed monthly rate, and commercial leases are stated at a base rate or a percentage of monthly
sales, whichever is greater. Most commercial tenants pay rent based on a percentage of monthly sales.
Generally, residential lease contracts are for a one-year term, and are always cancelable with a 30-day
notice by either party. Commercial lease contracts have terms up to five years and are noncancelable (see
Note 10).
Deferred Master Lease Revenue
On March 2, 2011, the PDA entered into a 55 year lease agreement allowing PPMQB2 to lease six
buildings within the Pike Place Market Historic District. The PDA received $25,648,261 from PPMQB2 for
the lease of the six buildings for the 55 year period from March 2, 2011 to February 28, 2066. The
deferred master lease revenue is being recognized over the life of the lease. Lease revenue in 2012 was
$466,332, and lease revenue over the next five years is expected to be $466,332 each year. The current
and non-current portions of the prepaid master lease payment are presented as follows in the statement
of net position at December 31, 2012:
Current portion of deferred master lease revenue 466,332$
Deferred master lease revenue, net of current
portion 24,326,987
24,793,319$
These amounts are considered assets of PPMQB2 (the discretely presented component unit) as they
represent lease payments made in advance. The amounts have been collected in advance by the Market,
so they are considered liabilities.
Income Taxes
As a public governmental corporation, the PDA is exempt from income taxes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with governmental accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The PDA's cash and cash equivalents are categorized to give an indication of the level of custodial risk
assumed by the PDA. Category 1 includes cash and cash equivalents that are insured or registered and are
held by the PDA or its agent in the PDA's name. All cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012, are
Category 1.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions
LaSalle Senior Housing LLC
LASLLC is a limited liability company formed by the PDA and Market Foundation (described below) to
develop and operate low-income residential housing in the LaSalle Building. The LaSalle Building is one of
the buildings located in the Market. The PDA is the managing member of LASLLC and holds a 0.01%
interest. The Market Foundation owned the other 99.99% interest, and in 2005, the Market Foundation
transferred its interest in LASLLC to an investment company called National Equity Fund Partners ("the
NEFP"). In addition, NEFP obtained the right to receive low-income housing tax credits resulting from this
low-income residential housing project. In exchange, the NEFP committed to invest over $8,000,000 into
LASLLC.
In April 2005, the PDA leased property to LASLLC for $2,020,000 under a financing lease agreement which
terminates on December 31, 2085. Upon execution of this lease, LASLLC paid an initial rent payment of
$240,000 to the PDA. Interest at the rate of 4.68% compounded annually accrues on the unpaid balance
of $1,780,000. Interest earned from LASLLC was $104,801 in 2012. Interest receivable from LASLLC
(included in the financing lease receivable on the statement of net position) was $564,129 at December 31,
2012. The financing lease receivable is unsecured.
LASLLC is liable to make payments (considered principal and interest) of the greater of $92,723 or
available net cash flows subjected to payment priority according to the agreement between the PDA and
LASLLC that describes how the property is to be managed ("the Operating Agreement"). Beginning 2058,
annual payments will increase by $100 through 2085. As of December 31, 2012, there were no available
net cash flows, and no interest or principal has been paid to date.
Additionally, under this financing lease, the PDA was granted first right of refusal to purchase the
residential portion of the LaSalle Building, or the NEFP's interest in LASLLC, after April 2021 (the end of the
tax credit period).
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 80
19 065200fs123112 Revised: 5/16/2013 1:45 PM mrb
The PDA also acts as the managing member of LASLLC. Certain administrative expenses are initially paid
by the PDA and subsequently reimbursed by LASLLC. Total expenses paid by the PDA on behalf of LASLLC
were $307,296 in 2012. Additionally, the PDA earned management fees (including accounting fees) of
$80,096 in 2012. Accounts receivable related to unreimbursed expenditures and unpaid management fees
at December 31, 2012, was $31,820.
Under the Operating Agreement, the PDA has agreed to advance funds to cover operating deficits not
funded from the operating reserve. Any such advances may be repaid from project cash flow in
subsequent years or from proceeds of sale or refinance of the property, if that were to occur.
LASLLC is included in these financial statements as a discreetly presented component unit.
Market Foundation
The Market Foundation is a nonprofit corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington.
The Market Foundation raises money to help pay for the services for the needy within the Market's
historical district and contributes to the PDA's food subsidy and capital programs. Under the terms of a
service agreement, the PDA subsidizes certain Market Foundation employees' salary and benefits, and
subsidizes a portion of its administrative office expenses. The total subsidized expenses incurred during

Note 7. Long-Term Liabilities
Loans Payable
In December 2004, the PDA acquired land (referred to as the Creamery lot) from the City in exchange for a
loan due to the City in the amount of $455,000 (all of which was outstanding on December 31, 2012). The
loan accrues interest at 5% per annum. According to the terms of the loan agreement, the principal and
accrued interest become due in December 2023, at which time the City has agreed to forgive these
amounts as long as PDA used the land for the intended use outlined in the sales agreement. The PDA will
begin recognizing forgiveness of principal when compliance with terms of the loan has been significantly
met. Interest of $22,750 was forgiven by the City for the year ended December 31, 2012.
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 84
23 065200fs123112 Revised: 5/16/2013 1:45 PM mrb
In 2006, the PDA borrowed $180,000 from the City through a promissory note for the purpose of
financing a portion of the costs of development of the Community Facility to be used to serve primarily
low-to-moderate income persons through programs performed by LASLLC. The promissory note matures
on July 1, 2016, and is interest-free. A contingent interest becomes due if conditions as defined in the
agreement occur. According to the terms of the agreement, if PDA complies with all terms and conditions
in the agreement through maturity, all amounts owing on this note, including any contingent interest, shall
be forgiven. The City has a lien on the facility for which the loan was made.
In December 2005, the PDA borrowed $3,800,000 under a commercial loan for the purpose of purchasing
a commercial condominium at the corner of First & Pine streets. This loan is secured by the real property
purchased at First and Pine. Interest accrues at the rate of 5.4% and payments of principal and interest in
the amount of $21,338 are due monthly through maturity on December 31, 2015. No interest was
outstanding at December 31, 2012. The principal balance outstanding at December 31, 2012, was
$3,368,530.

Loan 1 is in the amount of $709,126;
Loan 2 is in the amount of $1,060,732; and
Loan 3 is in the amount of $2,124,064.
In accordance with the financing agreement, Loan 1 was repaid in full in December 2012. As more fully

Bonds Payable – Details
Refunding Bonds – Garage
On November 24, 1987, the PDA issued $8,400,000 in Special Obligation Revenue Bonds for the purpose
of constructing a parking garage near the Market, which was substantially completed in the fall of 1989.
On March 7, 1991, the PDA refunded these 1987 bonds in advance with proceeds from the issuance of
$10,381,671 in Special Obligation Refunding Bonds, Series 1991, dated February 1, 1991. Bank of America
was contracted as the refunding agent and received $9,629,100 in refunding bond proceeds to service the
debt on the 1987 Special Obligation Revenue Bonds. These monies are held in trust by the refunding
agent and are used solely to repay principal and interest on the 1987 bonds.
These bonds are limited obligations of the PDA. The PDA has pledged net parking revenue from PC-1
garage to pay bond principal and interest. In addition, the City has unconditionally obligated itself to levy
an ad valorem tax, not requiring a consenting vote of the taxpayers, in order to fund debt service
payments on the bonds if revenue pledged by the PDA is insufficient to meet scheduled principal and
interest payments. The PDA reserves the right to redeem the outstanding serial bonds maturing after
November 1, 2002, in whole, or in part, on any interest payment date thereafter at a price of par plus
accrued interest to date of redemption. The serial bonds bear interest, from their issue date until the
bonds bearing such interest have been paid or their payment duly provided for, payable semiannually on
May 1 and November 1 of each year.
The series 2002 PDA Special Obligation Revenue Refunding Bonds were issued to partially refund the
Series 1991 PDA Special Revenue Refunding Bonds. This resulted in cash flow savings of $876,754 and an
economic gain of $814,756 at December 31, 2002. In accordance with governmental accounting
standards, this gain was not recorded in these financial statements.
Refunding Bonds – Revenue
The PDA has issued and refunded various series of tax-exempt Special Obligation Revenue Bonds,
beginning in 1991. The bonds were issued in order to refinance certain private bank mortgages.
The final refunding occurred in 2009 when the bonds were refinanced with the City with a face value of
$4,390,000.
Revenue Bond – Pine Residential Building
On June 17, 2005, the PDA issued $2,600,000 in a Special Obligation Revenue Bond for the purpose of
acquiring a residential condominium known as the Pine Residential Building. This bond is a limited
obligation of the PDA. The PDA has pledged the Pine Residential Building Housing gross revenue to pay
bond principal and interest. The bond is secured by a deed of trust on the building.

Long-Term Obligation
In conjunction with the PC-1 garage construction, the PDA entered into a contract with the City for the
purchase of the land upon which the PC-1 garage was built. As stated in the contract, beginning in 2003,
the PDA is required to pay the City 30% of Resulting Revenue, defined as gross revenue, less operating
and bond expenses, as principal payments. However, since there was no Resulting Revenue in 2012, the
full amount of this debt continues to be classified as long-term in these financial statements.
Once the Resulting Revenue exceeds zero, payments will be made until the later of (a) the life of the Series
1991 PDA Special Obligation Revenue Refunding Bonds described above, or (b) the City has been
reimbursed for the 1990 present value of the purchase price of the land plus the Additional Consideration.
The Additional Consideration is defined as the 1990 present value of the City's share of annual revenue for
1990 through 1998 from three surface lots currently managed by the PDA plus $62,500. The liability
recorded at December 31, 2012, of $680,692 represents the 1990 present value of the purchase price of
the land plus Additional Consideration.

Note 8. Shared Parking Revenue Agreement with City of Seattle
In 1987, the PDA purchased the PC-1 South land from the City and built the Pike Place Market Garage with
bond funds. As part of the purchase agreement, the City engaged the PDA to manage surface parking lots
within the vicinity of the Market. Three of these lots were still in operation in 2012, and management of
the lots has been outsourced to a lot management company. These lots are the Desimone (or PC-1 North)
lot, the Lenora lot, and the Blanchard lot. Under the current revenue sharing agreement, effective
January 1, 2008 (as amended), and expiring December 31, 2014, 35% of the gross revenue (less all
applicable tax) of the Desimone lot and 45% of the gross revenue (less all applicable tax) of the Lenora
and Blanchard lots are paid to the City. Parking revenue in these financial statements is shown net of the
City's share totaling $256,369 in 2012.
Note 9. Employee Benefit Plan
The PDA has a defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all employees. The plan
provides for voluntary, after-tax contributions by employees and contributions by the PDA at the
discretion of the PDA's governing Council. The PDA incurred approximately $307,000 in pension expense
in 2012.
Note 10. Future Rental Revenue
The PDA leases space to commercial tenants under noncancelable agreements. Terms of leases are
generally up to five years with options to extend up to two years. Most commercial leases include
percentage rent (based on a percentage of the tenant's sales) and fixed or variable escalation clauses.
Future minimum rentals to be received excluding options to extend, percentage rent, and variable
escalation clauses for the years ending December 31 are approximately as follows:
2013 $ 739,436
2014 691,229
2015 579,323
2016 421,010
2017 179,649
Thereafter 7,081
$ 2,617,728
Note 11. Acquisition of PPMF and PPIF and Subsequent Dissolution
On December 27, 2005, the PDA entered into its first NMTC project to renovate the LaSalle building's
commercial space, through investing $844,064 to obtain 39.74% ownership of PPMF, and then also
received three loans from NMI totaling $3,893,922 (as described in Note 7) which were used to make
capital improvements. In addition, Pike Market Senior Center & Food Bank (“Senior Center”) invested
$1,280,000 into PPMF (for the remaining 60.26% ownership).
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 89
28 065200fs123112 Revised: 5/16/2013 1:45 PM mrb
U. S. Bank invested $1,239,381 into PPIF (another entity facilitating NMTC investment) and was the 100%
owner of this entity. The tax credit period was 7 years and, therefore, all tax credits were earned by
December 27, 2012.
As of December 27, 2012, the PDA acquired the remaining 60.26% ownership interest in PPMF from the
Senior Center for consideration of $1, and effectively took control as the 100% owner of this entity.
Concurrently, the PDA acquired 100% ownership in PPIF from US Bank for consideration of $61,958, and
effectively took control as the 100% owner of this entity as well.
Assets of PPMF on the date of acquisition primarily consisted of receivables from PPIF which had a fair
value of $2,124,064 (Loan 3 at Note 7). Assets of PPIF on the date of acquisition consisted of receivables
(net of those with a corresponding payable to PPMF) from the PDA which had a fair value (and face value)
of $1,060,732 (Loan 2 at Note 7). Other assets and liabilities with a fair value of $38,551 (net of dissolution
expenses) were also acquired. The cash payment of $65,001 is considered the purchase consideration.
Since the fair value of the net assets of PPMF and PPIF were in excess of the purchase consideration, the
acquisition is recognized as a bargain purchase and a gain of $2,317,325 has been recognized in the
statement of revenue, expenses, and changes in net position for the year ended December 31, 2012. This
gain is similar to an extinguish of debt. The gain on acquisition is summarized as follows:
Fair value (and face value) of loans receivable acquired 3,184,796$
Fair value of other assets and liabilities acquired,
net of dissolution expensesnet of dissolution expenses 38,551
PDA's original investment in PPMF (844,064)
Purchase consideration (61,958)
Gain on acquisitions of PPMF and PPIF 2,317,325$
As the PDA became the 100% owner in two entities (PPMF and PPIF) on December 31, 2012, both would
be consolidated entities, and the receivables (at PPMF and PPIF) and payables (at the PDA) between the
entities would be eliminated, along with the investment in and member's equity. However, effective
December 31, 2012, both PPMF and PPIF were dissolved and, therefore, the investment in PPMF and PPIF,
and the related payables at the PDA were eliminated.
Note 12. Contingencies
The PDA is subject to claims and litigation incidental to its business. Management believes the ultimate
resolution of these routine matters will not have a material adverse effect on the PDA's balance sheet,
operations, or cash flows.
Note 13. Discretely Presented Component Units
As discussed in Note 1, LASLLC, PPMQB, and PPMQB2 are considered component units of the PDA,
discretely presented in a separate column on the face of the PDA's basic financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Council
Pike Place Market Preservation
and Development Authority
Seattle, Washington
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements and the aggregate discretely presented
component units of the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority ("the PDA"), a public
governmental corporation, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the PDA's basic financial statements, and have issued our
report thereon dated _______________.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the PDA's internal control over financial reporting
("internal control") to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the PDA's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the PDA's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the organization's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely
basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is
less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with
governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be deficiencies,
significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
PDA Council Packet 06.27.13 Page 96
35
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the PDA's financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the
determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the PDA's internal
control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly,
this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
