Neighborhood Planning for Pinehurst (Well, part of it…)

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.

Rainier Beach and Haller/Bitter Lake Communities Seeking Neighborhood Input

I’ve often heard Pinehurst called Haller Lake even with the giant freeway in between.  So I figured this was still relevant for all those Pinehurst residents associating themselves with Haller Lake or all those Haller Lake residents calling us part of Haller Lake.  The city is looking for people interested in helping with the neighborhood plans.  There’s [...]

Ballard? Greenlake? Capitol Hill?

No, this is a new townhouse project in Pinehurst on 14th Ave NE just south of 125th Ave NE. It caught my eye because it is a nice design and seems a bit hipper than some of the other projects that have gone up in the neighborhood recently. I would live here. Check out the [...]
