Olympic Hills, Seattle
Olympic Hills, Seattle

Olympic Hills is a neighborhood in the Lake City district of Seattle, Washington. The architecture is very diverse, ranging from homes displaced from the Interstate 5 construction, to newer construction. In 1935, Will Rogers played his last game of polo in this verdant neighborhood north of Seattle. The Olympic Riding Club with its Stables and Polo Field was located across the street from the Jackson Golf Course which was built in 1930. The field was between N.E.135th St. and N.E.137th St. along 15th Ave. N.E. to 20th Ave. N.E. It was surrounded by stately poplar trees and in the distance rose the green, rolling Olympic Hills. A monument to Will Rogers was placed at the field, but later moved to Albert Davis Park. Albert Davis Park is behind the Lake City Library which is a historic landmark. In the late 1930s, prior to the riding club being sold and divided into single family home lots, the suburbs were forming in the area and hill to the east from 21st to 27th St, from 135th to 140th Ave. NE was being subdivided and developed into an area advertised as Olympic Village. On Sunday, May 7, 1939 multiple lots were auctioned off for what was expected to cost $200-$300. Thornton Creek runs through the neighborhood as it makes its way to Lake Washington. The Olympic Hills neighborhood is part of the Lake City district which includes the neighborhoods of Cedar Park, Matthews Beach, Meadowbrook, and Victory Heights. Albert Davis Park, located in the Olympic Hills neighborhood, was a gift to the City of Seattle in 1964, it is named after Albert Davis, a Lake City community leader who died in 1971. Born in Buffalo, New York, in 1890, Davis was a charter member of the Lake City Vigilantes, a member of the Keystone Kops, originated the annual salmon barbecue with his Secret Seasoning, spearheaded the Lake City Pioneer Days celebration, was active in the Youth Center, and served as the unofficial goodwill "ambassador-mayor" of Lake City. He was awarded the Golden Acorn award by the PTA in 1971. Homer Kelly, author of The Golfing Machine, taught golfing lessons at the Jackson Golf Course. He and his wife Rosella are buried at the Acacia Memorial Park which is north of Lake City. Golfers still practice at the public course and there is a perimeter trail where neighbors can enjoy a bit of nature in this urban neighborhood.

Cedar Park, Seattle
Cedar Park, Seattle

Cedar Park is a neighborhood in the Lake City district of Seattle, Washington. The name generally refers to the residential neighborhoods east of Lake City adjoining Lake Washington. The "Cedar Park" name comes from the plats that subdivided the land along Lake Washington that had previously belonged to the Puget Mill Company. Although the area was subdivided in the 1920s, development proceeded slowly. Many lots overlooking Lake Washington were occupied by vacation cottages from the 1920s to World War II. After 1945, the area developed as a single-family residential community. Many single-family residences in Cedar Park date from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The neighborhood boundaries remain a matter of debate. Some believe that only the parcels platted with the name "Cedar Park" are properly part of the Cedar Park neighborhood. Others argue that the Cedar Park Neighborhood extends east from 35th Avenue NE to the shore of Lake Washington and extends from NE 145th Street at the north to NE 120th Street at the south. This larger area is the area represented by the Cedar Park Neighborhood Council. This neighborhood was annexed to the City of Seattle in 1954 when the Seattle City Limits were extended north to 145th Street. From 1956 to 1981, children in the neighborhood attended the Cedar Park Elementary School, at NE 135th Street and 37th Avenue NE. In 1981, falling enrollment throughout the Seattle school system and particularly in the area served by the Cedar Park Elementary school led to the city deactivating the school. The city maintained title to the land and buildings, but ceased to use it as a school, and instead leased the space to an artists enclave known as the Artwood Studios, which stayed in residence for a full 32 years. In 2013, once again faced with changing enrollment numbers, the city reactivated the school. At the time of Artwood's displacement, the building had served longer as a home for the studio than it had seen service as a school. Despite Cedar Park Elementary's reopening, by default current elementary students go south to John Rogers Elementary School, middle school students attend Jane Addams Middle School and high school students go to Nathan Hale High School. Cedar Park Elementary was reopened as an Option school, leveraging a nontraditional curriculum approach based on expedition learning. The former school playground, west of the former elementary school building, is now Cedar Park, a small local playground and play area. The Burke-Gilman Trail cuts through Cedar Park from NE 145th Street to NE 120th Street paralleling the Lake Washington shoreline.
