History
Leigh Hunt acquired the Hunts Point peninsula in the 1870’s with the intention of cutting down the area’s evergreen trees to give himself an unobstructed view of Lake Washington. A clubhouse was built in 1913. It served as the neighborhood’s social hub until the 1920’s. Before the two floating bridges on Lake Washington connected the Eastside to Seattle, a small ferry ran across the lake daily. The town was incorporated in 1955.
