Kirsten Anderberg's Seattle History Page

Fred Zante Farms, in Woodinville (outside Seattle), is one of many family farms folding under the pressure of modern times...yet his old farm sign still blooms with roses every spring.

There is an amazing archive of notes detailing the history of Seattle's City Parks, at http://www.seattle.gov/parks/history/sherwood.htm. This set of handwritten notes talks about the building, procurement, natural history, etc. of many Seattle landmarks, from 1916-1981. The notes are full of interesting things like Cowen/Ravenna Park, used to have glacier run off streams that went into Green Lake, and the Ravenna Ravine was carved out by glaciers! There is a wild history of Seattle in these archives. They talk of Tuesday night jazz concerts in Kinnear Park! Learn about Seattle's history through this unusual source!
