	Preservation Seattle - Preservation and the Environment: December 2002: The Olmsted Legacy
		The Friends of Seattle Olmsted Parks, the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, the Center for Urban Horticulure and a number of other local organizations (including Historic Seattle) have planned a series of engaging and educational programs for 2003 to celebrate the significance of the Olmsted Brothers' contribution to Seattle's history and identity.
		Seattle's city government and its citizens agreed that a park system was a priority to preserve and enhance the connection between the natural environment and Seattle's residents.
		Seattle's nickname, The Emerald City, postdated the Olmsteds' design, but their work, its legacy, and the mindset that directed its commission and implementation, reflect a longstanding relationship between Seattle's residents, the surrounding environment, and urban "green" sensibilities.

	Seattle celebrates 100 years of its treasured parks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		How poignantly coincidental it is that the city of Seattle this year celebrates the 100th anniversary of the grand plan for its stunning string of green spaces and scenic boulevards -- "emerald necklaces strung with playgrounds and parks," as it was put in 1903 by the system's prescient designer.
		A century ago these parks were considered important enough that the city council and citizens followed through, passing a $4 million levy at the urging of civic boosters, including the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
		The Seattle Parks Foundation is raising funds to restore the pools to their former grandeur in time for the centennial as a way to honor our Olmsted parks and to perpetuate their historic legacy.

	Montlake History by Jim Gould
		Boyer's Interlaken Land Co. offered lots for $1,500 to $2,500 in 1905, and houses $2,000 to $5,000 west of 25th, and $3,000 to $10,000 to the west, perhaps reflecting the higher elevation and views on the hight to the west.
		The Park Board refused on the grounds that it would not be open to the public, so the proposers created the Broadmoor development around their own course, with access to the area through the public domain.
		The Interlaken development had excluded all commercial buildings, but Montlake did not, and soon a series of retail establishments were built along 25th, beginning on the very border of Interlaken, at the very back of the Nelsons' lovely Shingle style house at 2150 Interlaken.

	History of Olmsted in Seattle
		The city's park movement had begun inauspicously in 1884, when the city converted the town cemetery into a five-acre park and named it Seattle Park.
		On the other hand, since Volunteer Park was located within a "highly finished style of city development," Olmsted proposed a formal design with large grassy areas and extensive flower beds, the clearing of densely growing fir trees, and construction of an observation tower.
		The Friends of Seattle's Olmsted Parks was formed in 1983 to promote awareness, enjoyment, and care of the the city's Olmsted parks and landscapes, both public and private.

	E. O. Schwagerl and Seattle Parks
		Seattle's founding mothers and fathers, entrepreneurs, city officials, neighborhood activists, and landscape architects of international renown all had a hand in creating local parks.
		Seattle's parks should include what Schwagerl called "attenuated parks"—strips of land "…skirting possibly a shore with its driveway, fringed by a forest, a wood or a cliff." To connect the parks, Schwagerl proposed a system of boulevards, which were to be entirely different than typical city arterials.
		Seattle hired the Olmsted Bros., who were well on their way to becoming the nation's most prestigious landscape designers.
