Wedgwood (sometimes misspelled Wedgewood) was born of the housing boom of World War II, but its history reaches back to prehistoric times. Native Americans used the Wedgwood Rock as a landmark. In later years, picnickers, university students, climbers, and even hippies enjoyed it too. One of the farms in the neighborhood became the first P-Patch in Seattle. Wedgwood is a neighborhood in northeast Seattle, north of Ravenna, along what would become 35th Avenue NE.
- Wapato Pond (OregonHikers.org)
This small pond at the bottom of a forested bluff is on Clark County’s East Fork Lewis River Greenway property. A heron or egret may be poised by the water’s edge. Native aquatic plants such as bulrush, bur-reed, bladderwort, and wapato or arrowleaf live here. Beyond a bridge at the pond, there’s a sign welcoming the public to the greenway.
