Many attempts to tell the true story of Hamlin Park have been made, but we’re still uncovering its mysteries. We ourselves (SHM) have been guilty in the past of telling only part of the story, thinking we finally had the whole kit-and-caboodle. Will this be the final word? We doubt it, but with the help of some intrepid researchers out there, we have a better sense of how it all came about, so here is yet another effort to bring to light some of the secrets about the mysterious Hamlin Park.

Hamlin Park, the largest and oldest park in the city of Shoreline, is named for the pioneering Hamlin family who had a homestead in the area in the late 19th century. During their tenure, the Hamlins logged much of the area, but the forest gradually returned. Today many second-growth trees here are over 100 years old. Mostly you will see cedars and firs, along with a few madrones and a variety of other deciduous trees.
