normandy park
Normandy Park was first established south and west of the Seattle Tacoma International Airport in the mid-1920's as a 1,200 acre planned community, intended to be modeled after French Normandy-style architecture. It was to have a yacht club, golf course, and two community beaches. The Depression brought the development of Normandy Park to a halt, to be rediscovered a few decades later. It was incorporated as a city in 1953 when the area began to burgeon. Over 7,000 people live in Normandy Park, enjoying both the quaintness of a rural seaside community and the benefits of urban life. 1,760 of the homeowners share 18 acres of beach access known as The Cove - a private community beach that comes with the deeds of "Lot A" owners — those who buy land in the original Normandy Park. The Marvista Elementary School is one of the state's finest.
