===Neighborhoods=== Kenmore has several distinct neighborhoods. These include: [[Image:arrowhead-from-logboom.jpg|thumb|250px|Arrowhead, Kenmore, from across Lake Washington in Log Boom Park]] * Arrowhead, in southern Kenmore, on the west (or lake) side, saw its first house built in 1888. This was a small summer cabin; the oldest house still standing dates from 1929. * Inglewood, in southern Kenmore, was first platted in 1953, with large-scale suburban development appearing by 1962. * Lower Moorlands, in eastern Kenmore, saw its first house in 1904. The significant development occurring in this area after [[World War I]] included the 1927 landmark Charles and Elvera Thomsen House.<ref name="kingctylandmarks">Heather MacIntosh, "[http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=2360 King County Landmarks: Charles and Elvera Thomsen House (1927), Kenmore]." ''[[HistoryLink.org]]'' Essay 2360, 2000-01-01, Retrieved 2007-03-24 says this is a King County Landmark. However, [http://your.kingcounty.gov/exec/bred/hpp/assist/T06_landmark-lst.doc King County and Local Landmarks List]{{dead link|date=May 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, King County (undated, last modified 2003-02-26, retrieved 2009-05-08), a document from the County government, says the house is a City of Kenmore landmark, not a county landmark.</ref> * Upper Moorlands, also in eastern Kenmore, saw initial building in 1938-1939 but stayed quite rural due to the lack of a good water system until suburban development arrived in the mid-1950s. * Central (or downtown) Kenmore hugs [[Washington State Route 522|Bothell Way]] and formed the original core of the city. Today it is Kenmore's commercial and industrial core. [[Image:Uplake-terrace-to-northlake-terrace.jpg|thumb|250px|Northern Kenmore and the [[Cascade Mountains]] as seen from Uplake Terrace, looking east]] * Northlake Terrace, an early residential neighborhood just north of town, is now a mix of commercial and residential development. Much of the eastern portion of this area is to be redeveloped as part of the new Downtown Plan. * Linwood Heights, in northwest Kenmore, was first founded as part of the "Back to the Land" movement during the [[Great Depression]]. Then derisively referred to as Voucherville, it has long since been redeveloped and is now largely suburban housing. Portions were annexed by [[Lake Forest Park, Washington|Lake Forest Park]] in 1995, predating Kenmore's formal incorporation. * Kenlake Vista, in northern Kenmore, is post-war residential suburban housing. * Uplake Terrace, a suburban neighborhood developed started in 1953.<ref>[http://uplake.org/gallery-history.php Uplake Neighborhood Association Historical Photos]{{Dead link|date=August 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Uplake Neighborhood Association, from a December 1953 aerial photograph.
