Cottage Grove Cottage Grove is an area originally platted by Puget Mill Company between 1918 and 1923. It is generally bounded on the North by Southwest Genesee Street, on the West by West Seattle Golf Course, on the South by Southwest Juneau Street and on the East by 21st Avenue Southwest. It is the area immediately South and adjacent to Youngstown. It is sometimes referred to as Youngstown. For example, the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center is actually in Cottage Grove. High PointHigh Point is so named because it is the highest point of land in Seattle, 520 feet (158 m) above sea level. It is most well known for the recently demolished World War II temporary worker housing project of the same name that for five decades[5] (1952-2002) served as low income housing, in particular for many refugees and immigrants when they first arrived in Seattle. Highland ParkHighland Park is traditionally a working-class neighborhood, due to its proximity to Boeing Field and other employers in the Industrial District. As with White Center immediately to the south, it now features wide demographic and ethnic diversity. Near Highland Park is Westcrest Park, which has an off-leash dog area. Pigeon PointThe Pigeon Point neighborhood is located on a high bluff directly south of the West Seattle Bridge at the south end of Elliott Bay. Boundaries include Spokane Street SW on the north, Delridge Avenue SW on the west, West Marginal Way and the Duwamish Waterway on the east, and Puget Park/Oregon Avenue on the south. Pigeon Point is home to the new Cooper Elementary School. RiverviewSouth Seattle Community College (1970) is in Riverview; the college is notable for innovative horticulture and the South Seattle Community College Arboretum. The Seattle Chinese Garden borders the Arboretum. The gardens are on the bluff overlooking the Duwamish River.[6]
