Prestek Shown
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garage have been replaced by a yellow split level.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. SEARCH THE WEB Site

PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE
We can
share in a sense of accomplishment for this
past year. The signs have been installed
along the History Path in Log Boom Park
and were the featured picture in the
August issue of Family Circle magazine,
which cited Kenmore as one of the top
ten cities for families to live in the USA. Just
this month, in cooperation with the City,
a sign was installed in Rhododendron Park
giving a pictorial history of the Park. The
brick base for this sign was installed
by KHS member Roland Lindstrom, utilizing brick from an
original structure at the park site.
The
Kenmore
History for Kids booklet, written by Jack Crawford, has been
updated and reprinted and again will be available.And on the subject of bricks, most of us are aware of the first brick road in 1913, coming from Seattle and passing through Kenmore en route to Bothell. During the recent construction along 522, the original road was uncovered at 68th and Bothell Way, and we now have two bricks for our archives from the 1913 road. To close, let me emphasize that the Officers and Trustees look forward to offering interesting and informative programs in 2010, and we welcome program suggestions from Kenmore Heritage Society - Elmer Skold, President
