Those who come to the pool love the quiet swims, the friendly staff, and the variety of programming. It has swimming lessons for all ages as well as lap swims, public swims, and exercise programs. Unfortunately it has never been easy for people to find due to its location. Take a look at its website: http://www.seattle.gov/parks/aquatics/madisonpool.htm for some general information about the pool. The site has the spring schedule available to download, and lesson registration can be done online. You can also navigate to an online version of the schedule. It offers a variety of swims for all ages. Note: not all the hyperlinks work, so just scroll down for more information. Lake City Live has a post up about the future of old fire station 39 in Lake City, which the City recently used as a homeless shelter run by Union Gospel Mission. Check out the Lake City Live post, Families for Lake City, and Douglas Park Cooperative for more details and to get involved! EDIT: The deadline for sending comments to the City is April 4th. Pinehurst pocket park got a good review here (it says it’s a small park gem): http://bestseattleparks.com/parks/pinehurst-pocket-park/ The photos were taken August 2011, and note that then-3-year-old neighbor Evan’s finger painting is gracing the kiosk. This is a nifty website if you want to look for Seattle parks. There are tabs to – a map of Seattle parks; a map of Seattle neighborhoods; a page to find parks by feature; an alphabetical list of parks, a page for finding parks near you. 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 Northeast just one-half mile this side of the New Golf Links. Large tracts, $350 and up. Very easy terms. See this soon. Office on ground. Call KEnwood 3719-R-1 and car will be sent for you. “Pinehurst” – large tracts north of city on 15th NE adjoining Victory Heights. In 1935 the Pinehurst Community Club was formed. The club had meetings twice a month, with refreshments, and sometimes speakers, sometimes business meetings, and occasionally a movie. They had card parties, potlucks, an annual Christmas party for the kids, and during WWII did various patriotic activities. Once a year they held membership drives. One year they chose members via a contest. Many meetings were in members’ homes. A clubhouse was built at 14th & 123rd. The club also joined with other North End communities in the North District Council. At this time the North End was outside Seattle city limits. In the 30s concerns were fire protection, street oiling and widening, and sewage. Pinehurst CC was on record opposing North End sewers for some reason. They started talking about annexation to Seattle in 1939 and were having annexation planning meetings in 1952. According to Wikipedia, Pinehurst was annexed in 1953. Here is a blurb from the paper June 15, 1936, and an ad from the same page showing some food p
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 boundaries were 5th – 25th and 110th – 137th.
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 driving. There will be vendors, music and a couple non-profit booths. And you can bring your dog (on a short leash). See its website here for more information. 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 I sat in my car in front of it and timed and listened to the plane traffic. I clocked about one plane a minute, which surprised me. Most of the noise was faint and it didn’t bother me, so I bought the house. But once in a while (like this morning) I hear an intrusively loud plane overhead. One of our neighbors has noticed a lot of airplane noise over the years and he wants to bring it to the attention of the Port of Seattle. Folks in Lake Forest Park and Shoreline are also starting to report to the Port and the Port is taking note. If you would like to help let the Port know about especially loud flyovers, when you hear one please report it. You will need the time and date of the noise occurrence, so make a note of that if you are going to log a report later. A cell phone’s clock is a reasonably accurate measure of time, and may help pinpoint the source of the noise with more precision than a traditional wall clock.

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. http://seattletransitblog.com/2012/03/23/editorial-we-can-do-better-than-another-parking-garage/
Sorry for the short notice for those who don’t know this already but there’s a meeting on the Northgate Station tomorrow, Wednesday March 1st. If you can’t attend, you can reach ST’s outreach staff via email instead if you have comments. March 21, 6:00 – 8:30 PM Northgate Station to Tunnel Portal Construction This reminder was on SeattleTransitBlog and also comes with a Northgate Parking Update.
I was also sent info on a very relevant presentation on the Northgate Urban Center by David Miller to the 46th District Democrats. There is a lot going on right now with Northgate and there are many opportunities to be involved.
