{"product_id":"seattles-ravenna-neighborhood-ann-wendell-9780738548715","title":"Seattle's Ravenna Neighborhood","description":"For centuries, Native American tribes lived peacefully along the trout-filled stream in a ravine that would later become part of northeastern Seattle. In 1887, the Reverend Beck disembarked from the Seattle Lake Shore \u0026amp; Eastern Railroad and, in this same area, bought 300 lushly forested acres that he turned into a township and park, both called Ravenna. The town was only three and a half miles from the city center and soon boasted a flour mill and a finishing school. The park itself, with its giant trees, mineral springs, fountains, and music pavilion, soon became a major attraction and well worth the 25[ admission. Eventually the timber was harvested and the school replaced by the university. Today the park remains a haven of serenity and the stream once again runs through it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Wendell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738548715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738548715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.57w x 0.35d","brand":"Ann Wendell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925790064895,"sku":"9780738548715","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3340abf7-997c-4813-9e26-a43d0e53240c.jpg?v=1681079372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seattles-ravenna-neighborhood-ann-wendell-9780738548715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
