This is a nifty website if you want to look for Seattle parks. There are tabs to – a map of […]

Some Pinehurst History

I took a look at old Seattle Times papers for information on Pinehurst. There was a Pinehurst community that was a suburb of Everett in the beginning of the 20th century, but in 1927 realtor Geo. A. Spencer & Co. advertised tracts for sale in our area:

“Pinehurst for Profit” – Pinehurst located on 15th […]

More on Pinehurst Boundaries

Curious about Pinehurst’s boundaries, I looked in old Seattle Times papers for information.

In an article in March 1939 Pinehurst boundaries were listed as 15th – 19th and 125th – 137th. But later that month another article said they were 15th – 21st and 115th – 123rd.

Then in June 1959 another article said Pinehurst’s […]

The market is at Shoreline City Hall, upper level, at 17500 Midvale Ave N. It’s right off the Interurban Trail, and there is garage parking for those […]

Help Report Loud Aircraft Over Pinehurst

When I was thinking about moving to Pinehurst 15 years ago I was told that we get a lot of airplane traffic overhead from planes coming north past the airport, then turning around a bit north of us and going south by the same route to land. Before I made an offer on the house […]

Northgate Parking Editorial by Pinehurst Neighbor

A Pinehurst neighbor (and former writer for this site!) has written an editorial on the parking garage being discussed for Northgate. It is on the most prominent transit site in the region and if you haven’t seen it yet it’s certainly worth a read.

Recent Update to Pinehurst History

I’ve heard mention of this story before (on this site in fact) but they recently presented Officer Allshaw’s wife, Suzanne, with a Medal of Honor. There’s more on the SPD Blotter site as well as the In Memoriam page.

We’re in the News Today… Sort Of

This week’s Neighborhood of the Week section in Seattle Times highlights Pinehurst, except they call it Victory Heights. Ha ha ha! The very first sentence is, ‘It’s easy to see why Victory Heights neighbors might be caught in an identity crisis.’ Yeah, because we aren’t Victory Heights! I mean, the north half of Victory Heights […]
