Talk:Bryant, Seattle, Washington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I reorganized this article as it had all sorts of grammatical errors.
I also question the factuality of some of the article's contents. Specifically:
A) that the fire station "is one of the original fire stations in Seattle." Bryant isn't an original neighborhood (or even part of) Seattle. It was probably annexed when the city of Brooklyn (now called the University District) was added and the city limits were expanded to N 65th St. I would guess the original fire stations were located downtown, within the original city limits (south of the ship canal). Maybe historylink.org has more information on this matter.
B) I question whether the neighborhood got its name from the school (along with the claim that Roosevelt neighborhood did as well). I believe the Roosevelt neighborhood, as well as Roosevelt Ave NE, was named for the current president during the Alaskan-Yukon Expedition (fair), c. 1906, which is when much of the neighborhood was developed. I think Bryant was probably formed in a similar manner. Again, historylink.org probably has this information.
I should have just looked up this info on historylink.org myself, as it probably took just as long to type up this discussion... Maybe later.
[edit] Neighborhood boundaries
Having lived in Bryant for my entire life, I feel that claiming that the eastern boundary of the neighborhood is Sand Point Way is simply incorrect. I understand that the placing of boundaries is not a perfect science, but surely something like 40th AVE NE would be more appropriate, for anything east of that is much more View Ridge than Bryant. I recognize, however, that I am a staunch neighborhood purist in that I scoff at "generous" descriptions. Just an opinion.
