Licton Springs

Licton Springs celebrates its long history as both a unique recreational spot and a commercial crossroads. The residential neighborhood wedged between the busy corridors of Interstate 5 and Aurora Avenue takes its name from Liq'tid (LEEK-teed) or Licton, the Lushootseed (Whulshootseed) Coast Salish word for the reddish mud of the springs—one of the few Puget Sound Salish words still used as a place name. The Duwamish (Dkhw’Duw’Absh, People of the Inside)[2] Lushootseed (Skagit-Nisqually) Coast Salish native people had used the springs area as a spiritual health spa since the area was populated after the last glacial period (c. 8,000 B.

European settlement

Seattle pioneer David Denny built a summer cabin (c. 1870). The natural spring fed Green Lake before it was capped and drained to the Metro sewer system after it became contaminated by residential development (1920, 1931). This page will automatically redirect in 5.
