Normandy Park’s 30 Acre Woods

Walker Creek

I take my dogs on the Walker Preserve trails in Normandy Park almost everyday. I love walking here! It feels like my very own 30 Acre Woods. This natural wooded preserve is maintained by neighborhood volunteers. I’m so grateful for their contribution to our community.

Summer’s Here And The Pools Are Open

On my morning walk to the beach, I passed the Normandy Park Swim Club and heard the familiar sounds of an early morning swim team practice. Summer officially starts today and in Normandy Park that means the two summer swim clubs are open for business.

Both Olympic View Swim Club and Normandy Park Swim Club offer swim lessons, competitive swim and dive teams and a synchronized swimming program. More importantly, these community clubs are a gathering place for neighborhood picnics, pickle ball games, family BBQ’s, and hours of fun with friends at the pool.

Hurray for the first day of summer! I can’t wait to dive in.

“Little Free Library” In Normandy Park

On a tree-lined street that winds through the heart of Normandy Park, is a “Little Free Library”.  It’s a free-standing wood box full of books, in the front yard of a home on a prominent corner lot.  The Little Free Library is a place where anyone can stop and pick up a book or leave a book to share. 

For the past few years, I’ve become accustom to the convenience of downloading and reading books electronically. Today, I decided to stop at the corner and pick out a book.  I was surprised at how that  little wooden box of books made me feel so connected to my community. It’s sweet, it’s simple and I loved it!  I’ll be back.

The Normandy Park Cove Is A Gem For Locals

Privately owned by 1800 Normandy Park households with equal and undivided interest, “The Cove” is a treasured gem.  It consists of 18 acres and includes 700 feet of waterfront on Puget Sound, a community clubhouse, tennis courts, woods with interpretive trails, two creeks (Miller and Walker), a duck pond for salmon rearing and a wetland area. The clubhouse is a popular place for weddings and community events. As a bonus, Normandy Park is dog friendly and The Cove is a popular meet up place for the resident pups.

Normandy Park Town Square Welcomes Two New Businesses

Normandy Park residents have been buzzing on social media about the recent opening of The Normandy Park Market, in Town Square. The produce department has been getting most of the attention, with people raving about the beautiful vegetable displays, hard to find items, and organically grown options. The store management seems eager to accommodate its new neighbors by polling shoppers to see if there are items they’d like to see the store carry.
