Discovering Denny-Blaine's Past
This neighborhood got its name from the people who developed it. Elbert F. Blaine and Charles L. Denny started planning out this area in 1910. Charles L. Denny was the son of Arthur Denny, who was a very important pioneer in Seattle's early history.

Right next door to where a famous musician once lived, you can find Viretta Park. This small park is a quiet place where fans have left messages and dedications carved into wooden benches. It's a spot for reflection and remembering.
