SHARING INSPIRING STORIES THAT MATTER
Since time immemorial an ancestral summer fishing and gathering outpost of Puyallup and other Coast Salish peoples, Northeast Tacoma, including Caledonia Cove, Brown’s Point, and Dash Point, was acquired by white settlers via the Treaty of Medicine Creek in 1854.
The jewel of Burien’s park system, 178-acre Seahurst Park boasts a 2000-foot saltwater beach, miles of trails and a wildlife habitat including eagles, herons, woodpeckers, pheasants and owls.
Burien’s central hub location offers a thriving center for arts, culture and recreation with a diverse array of restaurants, bars, boutique retail, services, parks and beaches while also serving as a seamless connector to Downtown Seattle, SeaTac, Tacoma and the Eastside’s employment centers.
Ravenna Park attracted visitors beginning in the early 20th century, thanks to its giant trees, mineral springs, fountains, and music pavilion, charging 25¢ for admission.
