Me-Kwa-Mooks Park

Me-Kwa-Mooks is an Anglicized version of the Lushootseed word for Alki Point, sbaqʷabqs (pronounced SBAH-kwahb-ks), meaning "prairie point.

The site was originally the homestead of the pioneers Ferdinand and Emma Schmitz.

[2] In 1994, 4th and 5th graders from Pathfinder K-8 School helped make Me-Kwa-Mooks a park.

In 2009, Pathfinder moved to Cooper Elementary School, a 10-year-old building on the other side of West Seattle, so they could no longer work on the park.
