History of Points Communities
Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center, 1625 118th Avenue SE, WA
Getting to the Points: The Early Days of Medina, Hunts Point and Yarrow Point
(Eastside Heritage Center program)
The Points Communities were among the earliest places settled on the Eastside, and evolved very differently from the surrounding areas of Bellevue and Kirkland. Their terrain made them less suited to agriculture and convenient ferry service stations to Seattle. This would result in them evolving early into sought-after locations for summer homes, large estates and commuter suburbs. This heritage program will be led by Eastside Heritage Board Member and former Mayor of Medina, Mike Luis.
���Light bites and non-alcoholic beverages will be available.
���This event is supported by 4Culture and presented in partnership with Bellevue Parks & Community Services.
