Heritage Highlights
The Shoreline Heritage E-News Heritage Highlights of July 2011 asked: “Where was this photo taken?” The answer can be found in the caption under the photo – did you get it right?!
- The Lake Forest Park dock, Lake Washington, ca 1945, looking toward the Civic Club, built in 1934, and the “Front” of the Park at the intersection of Ballinger Way and Bothell Way.
Lake Forest Park was platted in 1910 by Ole Hanson, who dreamed of an ideallic residential community surrounded by streams and forest. Fifty-one years later, in 1961, the community became the city of Lake Forest Park, now celebrating its 50th Anniversay in 2011.
