Newcastle has an unusually rich history for a city its size. It played a vital role in opening up the Seattle region for expansion. In many ways, it was the poster child for development in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1800s—rail, coal, and timber were the key themes of this time, and Newcastle was at the nexus of all of them. Newcastle’s coal mine and railroad helped transform Seattle into a major port. Its legacy remains ever-present in local place names such as Coal Creek Parkway, and China Creek Golf Course. An active, well-informed, and passionate group of citizens remain committed to sharing Newcastle's history with visitors and residents. The City celebrates Newcastle Days at a community festival each September. The City was officially incorporated in 1994.
Newcastle currently has nearly 40 acres of developed parks distributed throughout much of the city limits for residents and visitors to enjoy. Most of the parks offer some level of active and passive recreational elements.
Lake Boren Park serves as the primary attraction in the City’s growing park system offering an array of recreational components including; playground, basketball, tennis, and sand volleyball courts, picnic shelters, and restrooms. Residents and visitors have described Lake Boren Park as their favorite park based on all it has to offer; from being naturally peaceful and tranquil at the north end with vistas into the lake to playful, active, and creative towards the main entrance at the south. Our property is located just minutes from this park.
