Laurelhurst

By John Liu

The Laurelhurst Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, culminating a twenty-five year effort beginning in 1991. The most recent effort involved hundreds of Laurelhurst volunteers. In the 2017 neighborhood vote, eighty-three percent of voting residents supported the historic district. During the nomination process, fewer than one percent of property owners objected to the historic listing.
