Partner Event: History of Eastside Logging

Did you know that most of the east side of Lake Washington was clear-cut by 1920 or that nearly all the big trees that we see today are less than 100 years old? (It will take another 400 years for our evergreens to reach 'maturity')! Come and see the equipment that evolved from two men working one tree all day with a hand-saw, to sky-line cable operations that could clear a whole Cougar Mountain valley in a single day. Presented in partnership by the Newcastle Historical Society and Bellevue Parks & Community Services. This program is best for adults. No pre-registration required. Indoor program.
Date/Time: Saturday, February 21st; 1PM-3PM
Location: Lewis Creek Park Nature Center, 5808 Lakemont Blvd. SE., Bellevue
