Remarks:Vashon Glacial Ice Sheet formed the Ravenna Park ravine as well as Haller, Bitter, and Green Lakes. WW Beck, a realtor who bought the place in 1887, named the place after an Italian seacoast town famous for its pine tress. He was ecstatic when wandering among the trees. In the Italian town warriors, poets, and statesmen would stroll among the trees in a similar state ago.
