== History ==
Meadowbrook, with [[Thornton Creek]] near [[Lake Washington]], has been inhabited since the end of the last [[Ice age#Glaciation in North America|glacial period]] (c. 8,000 B.C.E.—10,000 years ago). The ''tu-hoo-beed'' (Thornton Creek) ''hah-chu-ahbsh''<ref>''too-HOO-beed'', ''hah-choo-AHBSH'' [Dailey]</ref> (Lake People) of the [[Duwamish (tribe)|Duwamish]] (''Dkhw’Duw’Absh'', People of the Inside) [[Lushootseed|Lushootseed (Skagit-Nisqually)]] [[Coast Salish]] native people lost their rights in 1854. The Lake City area was [[Clearfelling|clearcut]] by crude wagon road or by using Lake Washington from 1850 past the turn of the century, more rapidly with the [[Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railroad]] (c. 1886) providing easy access along what is now the [[Burke-Gilman Trail]] through adjacent [[Matthews Beach, Seattle, Washington|Matthews Beach]] neighborhood and along the lake. A Little Germany neighborhood of several immigrant farmers grew up in the 1870s around where Nathan Hale High School now stands.<ref>Wilma</ref>
The Blindheim family [http://northonline.sccd.ctc.edu/cl/elh/cases/case05B/5B-AR-2_thumb.jpg LaVilla Dairy], located on what is now the [http://northonline.sccd.ctc.edu/cl/elh/cases/case05B/5B-AR-1_thumb.jpg 10300 block of Fischer Place NE], and the orchards extending up the adjacent hill to the east are defining characteristics of Meadowbrook. The dairy operated from 1913 to 1929, although it was occupied unil 1990. The dairy was also called La Villa. Both the dairy building and the family house still stand. Traces of the original [[Bothell, Washington|Bothell]]-Everett highway can still be found nearby. The centerpiece of Meadowbrook is on land sold by the family to the City for the park (as well as for other green space).<!-- Consolidated 3 references into 1 --><ref>(1)
