The Legion Park overlook allows a glimpse into the distant past. Here the panoramic view of Port Gardner Bay extends all the way to Mukilteo, and includes views of Smith Island, Priest Point, Camano, Jetty and Gedney (Hat) Islands. On a clear day one can see both the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. To the north, the Snohomish River spills into the bay, which was a creation of melting glacial ice ten thousand years ago. The Snohomish Tribe once spent winters in a village on the northern peninsula just below Alverson Bridge. A major development of Legion Park occurred during the 1930s, beginning with donation of the land by the American Legion in 1932. During the Great Depression the city supplemented a dwindling budget with federal funds to employ WPA workers who cleared the acreage and constructed a park. The 129 acre Legion Memorial Golf Course was added in 1935. A small arboretum of native plants was developed in 1961.
