Here are a few glimpses into the past

Meadows Grandstand

On August 12, 1904, the Meadows Race Track hosted the first motorcycle race in King County, featuring three Indian motorcycles and one home-made contraption. 

Lucile Street

Looking west from Maple (Beacon) Hill, you can see the Mueller School on the left and just how dangerous it was to get to school each day.

Comet Lodge Cemetery

June 10, 1927: Prior to subdivision, the baby grave markers were removed. They are clearly shown above the Johnny Jones funeral party in photo.

The largest employer in the area and the fifth largest brewery west of the Mississippi River. Home of Rainier beer.

Historic Homes

The Gesner Castle is just one of a few remaining historic homes in the area.  Peter Gesner built this stately home on Carleton for his family, yet died in it eleven months after moving in, alone.

Community Activism

This neighborhood has long been known for it's stand on issues often fighting back against industrial development. Women fought and won the right to vote in Washington state in 1910, ten whole years before the rest of the nation caught up.
