is an old picture I scanned that was hanging on an older Kenmore
resident's wall. The road is 200th at the 6100 block, The small shed in
the field is actually still there (in a field) but the house and flat
garage have been replaced by a yellow split level. Looking at the cars,
this was probably shot around 1957 or '59. I believe that these
buildings were the remnants of a truck farm operated by a Japanese
gentleman that was interned in WWII. The people shown in the photo
purchased the property sometime after WWII. The area across the street
from the house used to be called "The Goat Farm". The small creek is
now gone. The photo was taken from a Navy helicopter by John Yeaman. Kenmore Heritage Society

has awarded a $7500 grant for the Logboom Park Historical Interpretive Center project. The grant application was written by project co-chairs Tom and Bobbi Traeger and committee members Char Crawford, Fran Owen and Elmer Skold. The grant will supplement funds already committed by the City of Kenmore and the Kenmore Heritage Society toward the project. The Interpretive Center structure will likely be in the form of a gazebo with a number of panels depicting the history of Kenmore.
