History

Once thick dense forests, Kenmore was not developed as early as the surrounding cities of Bothell and Woodinville. The land, primarily owned by investors sat undeveloped until Watson C. Squire (one of the first state senators) purchased some of the property in 1880 and built a water tower.

In 1889 John and Annie McMasters leased some of the land from him and named the area Kenmore after their previous home, Kenmore, Canada. McMasters opened the Fir Lumber Company in 1903. At that time Kenmore consisted of the mill, its cookhouse, the managers house and the workers shacks and bunkhouse.
