The History of Hunts Point, WADuring the late nineteenth century, Leigh S. J. Hunt, a Yarrow Point resident, purchased Hunts Point in order to enhance his view of Seattle. Modestly, he named the point after himself. As the Wheel of Fortune turned, and Hunt’s fortunes ebbed, the point was sold to a group of Seattle businessmen who bought the property for family picnics and camping. Gradually, small vacation homes were built, serviced by the Gazelle, a small ferry which provided access to Seattle.

In 1910, electricity and telephones came to Hunts Point, followed by postal service the next year. When a school was built, many Seattleites gave up their city homes and became full time Hunts Point residents. A clubhouse was built in 1913 at what is now 3655 Hunts Point Road. Tennis courts were built soon after, and the Hunts Point Tennis Club was born. Elaborate festivities, from dances to swimming tournaments, were given as fund raisers for improvements. There was even a Baby Carriage Committee, where infants of the Point collected coins in tin cups attached to their carriages.

Women of the Point took an interest in providing social services to the entire Eastside with the establishment of the Overlake Service League, which has since grown to fifteen separate organizations, each assisting needy Eastside families.

In 1916, the Government Locks were opened, dropping the level of the lake from 10 to 12 feet, creating marshlands in Cozy Cove and Fairweather Bay. Hunts Point residents were obliged to purchase the newly exposed land from the county.

Around 1943, a Community Club was formed, which included the old clubhouse to accommodate, among other things, raging games of Pinochle. Another favorite past time was watching the Slo Mo Shun, Stan Sayer’s famous hydroplane, which was docked at the end of the Point.

The History of Hunts Point, WAWith the opening of the first Lake Washington Bridge in 1940, growth in the Eastside spiked. With growth, came zoning. Hunts Point was incorporated into a Fourth Class Town in 1955. The Fairweather Basin marshland was developed into prime residential property. The Evergreen Point Bridge, completed in 1963, put Hunts Point within minutes of Seattle.

Town Hall was dedicated on Clean Up Day, May 21st, 1978. Twelve years later a 16-acre preserve was given by descendants of Seattle pioneer Jacob Furth.

In 1990, Hunts Point became one of five Washington cities to be designated a Tree City, which entails forming a Park Commission, a budget for reforestation and an Arbor Day Proclamation, among other requirements. Hunts Point continues to create an atmosphere where residents may develop their properties to their own requirements while at the same time preserving the natural beauty and friendly wildlife that has come to define Hunts Point.
