There’s quite a bit of argument about the exact neighborhood boundaries these days. It doesn’t usually matter too much unless you run a neighborhood blog or you’re involved in the Neighborhood Planning process from the city.
In this case, it’s the second one. Most of Pinehurst technically falls into the plan for the Haller Lake-Bitter Lake- Broadview neighborhoods which is now being updated. Most of you (in the technical boundaries) should have received a post card on the process a couple weeks ago. This is a good chance to get input into the plan that will affect the larger city planning in our neighborhood for years to come.

An update of the original Neighborhood Plan for Haller Lake-Bitter Lake- Broadview (from Puget Sound to 15th Ave NE, 105th/Northgate to 145th St) has been underway for four months, the first Public Meeting will occur on March 12th at Broadview-Thompson School.
March 12, 2011
Meeting: 9:00 a.m. – noon
Open House: Noon – 1:00 p.m
Broadview-Thomson K-8 School (Cafeteria)
13052 Greenwood Ave. N.
There’s also a video of the process by one of their Neighborhood Advisory Councilmembers:
But if I understand correctly, they are not actually “planning” anything on this side of I-5.
Also, Pinehurst west of 15th Ave NE is in both the “North” district (northeastern most district) and the “Northwest” district, although I do not know of any interaction of residents here with the “Northwest” district.
Oops, this post didn’t go out with the weekly mailing list. We have a bug in the mailing list program. It goes through the posts by ID number, and this post’s ID number is actually in last week’s ID number range, because it was created as a draft last week.
Sorry if you missed out on attending this.
