Laurelhurst Blog Hits TwoYear Anniversary, And Thanks To Our Readers

June 17th marked the two year anniversary of the Laurelhurst Blog. It came and went while the Staff was busy researching and writing posts.

Our intention in starting the blog, two years ago, was to meet the need for a central source of daily information for the neighborhood for news, issues and events.

And we have enjoyed filling that niche and most of all have enjoyed hearing from our readers with comments, story ideas,  pictures and more.  It has helped make the blog sucessful and most of all provide interesting content for our neighborhood blog.

We've had a great time learning about the neighborhood through the wide variety of posts we have done.  We've met many new neighbors through email, including business owners, and always enjoy receiving and responding to reader emails.

Who knew Laurelhurst with a population of around 3,500, had so many events and happenings for a post every day!

854 posts to date, to be exact, with just a few days "off" for holidays.

The blog has been mentioned in other Seattle neighborhood blogs with links back to stories we have done and someone even included it in the entry for Laurelhurst in Wikipedia. We've also been approached by major news outlets to partner with them.

Thank you to the neighborhood for your great support. We have received numerous emails with kudos and flattering comments and we greatly appreciate it.

Please continue to provide your input and send us your story ideas and tips so that we can continue to provide interesting content. We need YOU!

You can also comment on the posts by clicking on "Comments" at the bottom each story.

And most of all:

The Laurelhurst Blog.

"A Year Of Seattle Parks" Blogger Visits Laurelhurst

One of our staffers stumbled upon this site, A Year of Seattle Parks, in which the blogger tries to visit every park, all 403, in one year.

And this week the blogger, Linnea Westerlind, visited the " Laurelhurst Triangle" (pictured above) located at 46th Avenue NE and East Laurelhurst Drive.

"Follow Laurelhurst Dr. N.E. south, and you'll probably pass this park without a second thought. The only thing to note in this traffic circle park is the enormous tree, perhaps an oak or elm, that towers over the street," the blog entry says.

Last week-end, she visited the Laurelhurst Playfield, commonly called the park, ballfields and playground.

Last week we posted about a similar blog in which the bloggers visit various stairways around the city.
