Sand Point Neighborhood | Seattle

Sand Point is more of an actual place than a distinct residential neighborhood. Let's explain.

This piece of land is a wide peninsula jutting out into the western waters of Lake Washington, just east of View Ridge and the Sand Point Country Club. The western border is Sand Point Way, and is located between 65th and 95th streets.

The local Duwamish Tribe built longhouses here for wintertime use over the millennia.

In 1888, the area was so remote that not a single platted lot in the area to the west known as Wedgwood was sold by 1891, and the economic panic of 1893 severely curtailed home building and produced a host of bankruptcies all over the Puget Sound region.

Over the decades this land then known as Pontiac, saw use as a manufacturing site for several different businesses, all of which eventually disappeared. The actual shoreline receded when the lake level was reduced by nine feet in 1916, and likely improved the usefulness of the area financially for viable use options. And that didn't take long.

For in 1920, the Navy took possession of the property and established the Sand Point Naval Air Station that eventually saw more than 5,600 Naval personnel and 2,400 civilians stationed there. The base played a pivotal role during WWII and was the launching and finishing site for the first 'flight around the world' in 1924.

The base continued to serve our country until the Navy re-evaluated base strategies and decided to close the facility in 1970. The Navy officially returned the land to the city of Seattle in 1975. In 2011, the City officially designated the core Base buildings as a Landmark District.

So.........as far as any residential area, Sand Point doesn't have one and never did.

But the Sand Point name is strongly recognized by locals as both definitive of the general area, and the area of the Base itself, now known as Magnuson Park, after a highly regarded former US Senator. Per the City's neighborhood boundary outlines, Sand Point contains very few public housing structures located just outside the former Base.

However, the wide range of population estimates attributed to Sand Point lends credence to the possibility that there are differing interpretations of the actual land area to be counted as inside Sand Point. Those numbers range from 871 to 2,258, and could easily be including residents in the Sand Point Country Club development, platted in the mid-1920s, that is outside the Base just to the west.

The Country Club is right next to Inverness, but that neighborhood doesn't claim the Club as their own. However, View Ridge also abuts the Club and may have a legitimate claim to it for bragging rights.

The upshot is that since the Club is not inside the Sand Point boundaries per City specifications, as a homebuyer interested in locating inside Sand Point proper, you will find very few options. With the overall situation now better understood, communicating with real estate professionals about your desires will go much more smoothly.

It's appropriate to note here that the Sand Point Country Club is a private, gated community of premium quality, all based on the exclusiveness of the Club and its attributes. It's known for its enjoyable 18-hole course, Olympic-sized pool, covered and heated driving range, four outdoor tennis courts, fitness center with trainers, and of course.......casual and fine dining.

Now, the quality of Sand Point's magnificent Park is a very attractive perk to living in this area. Considered by many as their favorite Seattle park, Magnuson Park is quite large with a huge sports field, dog off-leash area, meeting facilities, a memorial to Navy servicemen, swimming beaches, and nature walks galore. Definitely a beautiful place......a safe and fun park that also features the Community Sailing Center where young folks are taught the enjoyable skills of seasonal sailing.

The area of Greater Sand Point is definitely a sought after living location..........an 'A' rated community of treasured homes and neighborhood inclusiveness!

You're gonna fit right in..........Welcome to Sand Point!!
