Do come to this family friendly event:

April 7, 2013 – 1 pm – 4 pm
11032 – 8th Avenue NE (upper level of the Northgate Village Shopping Center)

– Meet the vets, tour the facility and enjoy light refreshments

– Take home treats and goodie bags for pets (please leave pets at home)

– Behavior & obedience training topics will be presented by Pinehurst’s own Great Dog throughout the event

There will be drawings for wellness exams; wellness blood screens; Advantage & Trifexis flea product gift baskets; and training & boarding at Great Dog. You can also learn about the available methods and health benefits of integrating Veterinary Acupuncture and Herbal therapies into a pet’s wellness and medical care.

Welcome to the neighborhood, North Seattle Veterinary Clinic!

North Precinct Advisory Council Minutes for March 2013

This month’s guest speaker was Seattle City Councilmember Nick Licata. To see his comments on public safety and current city issues: drones, SPD reforms, transportation, & basketball arena, see the minutes here, where you can also see reports from the Liquor Control Board on marijuana, KC Prosecuting Attorney’s Office on charges filed against the purse snatcher, etc.

One interesting statistic: in 2012 North Precinct arrested 164 burglars. That’s a lot.

Pinehurst Pets – What’s Allowed

Pinehurst loves its pets! I love seeing all the dog walkers on our streets and sidewalks, the cats who wander across my path, and even the rarer ferret, as long as it doesn’t burrow up my pant leg. Less lovable are the hopefully rare occurances of poop in the yard, incessant barking, and cats who dig in the garden. Lost and injured pets are heartrending. With this blog we’ll begin a series of posts on domestic animals in the city. Most of the material will be from the Seattle Animal Shelter website. We’ll summarize the code related to animals in the city, and how to deal with strays, noise, injured pets, the unleashed, poop, etc.

A Little Pinehurst History

The following historical information is from the Landmark Preservation application for Pinehurst K-8 School cited in the previous post. The map at left is too small to be useful (but you can click on), but what’s interesting is that Lk Washington was called Lake Dwamish at the time.

“Early settlers in the area included the D.M. Little family who were instrumental in logging and sawing much of this area, and had a sawmill on Victory Creek near the future location of the Pinehurst School. Further to the southwest, George F. Meyfarth owned and developed a large farm at Oak Lake in the area north of Licton Springs, and Abbie and Edward Lindsley had a homestead between Oak Lake and Haller Lake. The area’s first school, the Oak Lake School, was located in that general area, near N 100th Street adjacent to the North Trunk road.
