Broadmoor, Seattle

It is bounded on the west by the Washington Park Arboretum; on the south by East Madison Street, beyond which is the Washington Park neighborhood; on the east by 37th Avenue East, beyond which is the Madison Park neighborhood; and on the north by Union Bay marshland.

Broadmoor was developed on land that had been logged by the Puget Mill Company for sixty years.

The western 230 acres (930,000 m²) were given to the city, who developed Washington Park on the site; the eastern 200 acres (800,000 m²) were developed as Broadmoor by a group of businessmen that included E. G. Ames, general manager of Puget Mill.

Like other developments by Puget Mill, Broadmoor was built as a racially segregated neighborhood, using exclusionary covenants to block prospective home buyers of certain races and ethnicities.

For example, a 1928 covenant blocked "any Hebrew or by any person of the Ethiopian, Malay or any Asiatic Race".
