Mr. David Whitcomb, Sr. planned the development of Woodway Park as a place for homes in a wooded country setting. In 1912 he purchased 320 acres of land between Richmond Beach and Edmonds, stretching about a mile along Puget Sound and extending about a half-mile east. He added fractional lots along the tidelands and uplands, bringing the total to 400 acres. At the time of the purchase there was one structure, known as the Brown Owl Tavern, which is now a private residence on the west side of Woodway Park Road just north of the Deer Creek Bridge.
Deer Creek Park was created in 2016 and is the newest park in Woodway. A parking lot is available just south of the Brown Owl Bridge [parking coords provided]. The first phase of the park includes a trail adjacent to the Deer Creek Park watershed. Future plans include a trail up to the meadow and a picnic area.
Enjoy the loop trail and please leave stamp in container for letterboxers and please sign the log for geocachers. Please be gentle with the natural surroundings!
