In 1995 the Wedgwood Community Council placed two Welcome to Wedgwood signs using Dept. of Neighborhoods grant funds. In 2007 the matching sign was stolen from the corner of NE 70th Street. A police report was filed, so if you know where the missing sign is, please report it.
During the years of World War Two from 1941 to 1945 all Seattleites had some concerns about the possibility of bombing, since Seattle is a coastal city. For this reason people took civil defense training and organized their neighborhoods to help one another in case of emergencies. After the war was over and people began to get established in jobs and homes, they applied their organizing skills to the development of neighborhood groups.
The identity of the Wedgwood neighborhood evolved gradually in the late 1940s and at first, there was more than one community club. Although they were still young, war veterans were highly respected and they were some of the leaders in the young community of Wedgwood in the 1940s and 1950s.
