Magnuson Park

Magnuson Park is a park in the Sand Point neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. At 350 acres it is the second-largest park in Seattle, after Discovery Park in Magnolia ). Magnuson Park is located at the site of the former Naval Station Puget Sound, on the Sand Point peninsula with Pontiac and Wolf bays that juts into Lake Washington in northeast Seattle.
The area has been inhabited since the end of the last glacial period . Prairie or tall grassland areas were maintained along what is now Sand Point Way NE , among numerous locations in what is now Seattle. The Xacuabš had the village of TLEHLS on the shores of what is now called Wolf Bay in Windermere, on Lake Washington south of SqWsEb, now called Sand Point-Magnuson Park. BEbqwa'bEks was near what is now Windermere. One or three sizable longhouses have been documented. Villages were diffuse. These people may have been associated with the hloo-weelh-AHBSH of Union Bay. Just on the other side of Sand Point, the village of too-HOO-beed was of the too-oh-beh-DAHBSH extended family, near what is now called Thornton Creek at what is now Matthews Beach, so Sand Point was their shared "side yard".
