A letter to Councilwoman Joy Hollingsworth

Joy,

We’re enjoying the new Seattle city park on the Graystone property. Skyline and other First Hill residents played important roles in getting it developed.

It’s on the property that previously housed the office of Paul Thiry, one of Seattle’s most famous architects.

Could you please suggest to the Park Dept. that it be named the “Paul Thiry Park?”

The photo below shows how birds as well as residents are enjoying this new park! It was featured in our in house blog–

Best regards, Ann Milam (Skyline Resident)

This first year Glaucous-winged Gull, trying to act like a heron, enjoyed a refreshing bath in the waterfall pool, then strolled away, enjoying the sun last Thursday. The park was used later that evening as a petting zoo, hosted by the First Hill Improvement Association.
