Wedgwood

History

Wedgwood Rock, dubbed an erratic glacier was first used by Native Americas as a landmark and intersection for trails through Seattle forests. It is home to the first Seattle P Patch, which began as a vegetable farm in the 1920’s, that went unused for some time in the 60’s. A local woman backed by the community worked with the city to pay off taxes, and created 180 plots, which have since developed into 1,900 plots over 12 acres of land.
