Laurelhurst, Seattle

45th Street, beyond which are Hawthorne Hills, Ravenna, and University Village; on the west by Mary Gates Memorial Drive N.E., beyond which is the East Campus of the University of Washington; on the southwest by Union Bay; and on the east by Lake Washington.

Laurelhurst has had several famous residents, including Melanie Griffith[citation needed] and Antonio Banderas,[citation needed] who rented a house on the waterfront one summer while filming a movie; musician Duff McKagan, bassist for Guns N' Roses.

Booth, incorporated under the name McLaughlin Realty Company, acquired property from several owners in the already established areas of Scottish Heights and Yesler Village.

They established a new plat, introduced the new name, brought in water, electricity, and sewer services, but failed to attract a streetcar line.

The community was served by the North Seattle Herald-Outlook, which printed a weekly edition until it was shut down – in January 2012 – by owner Pacific Publishing Company.
