history

For more than 10,000 years, the Sammamish people have hunted, fished, and gathered on their lands along Lake Washington and the Sammamish River and Lake.
Log Boom Park (historylink.tours) Tracy Owen Station at Log Boom Park is a 3.9-acre park that provides access to over 1,200 lineal feet of shoreline on Kenmore’s Lake Washington waterfront. This shoreline was where early loggers once operated mills and anchored their log booms, clusters of floating logs enclosed within cables. Some of the old pilings from as early as 1902 are still visible. The current 600-foot-long public fishing pier was built over original pilings. The park also features a playground, restrooms, picnic tables, daytime moorage and access to the Burke Gilman Trail. Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available during the summertime.
