In this presentation, Lawrence Kreisman showcases the Pacific Northwest region’s brash and youthful response to urban pressures and new communication and transportation opportunities.
His talk will examine
- the entrepreneurship of James Moore and his Millionaires’ Row;
- the growth of outlying suburbs along the interurban commuter lines and new highways, including Lake Forest Park;
- summer homes at Three Tree Point and Restoration Point, Bainbridge Island;
- a utopian community of artists, Beaux Arts Village on the east shore of Lake Washington; and
- David Whitcomb’s Woodway enclave further north with its expansive estate lawns and gardens.
