Bibliography
[edit]- Reference #1: Laliberte, M. (2023, January 6). The Eastside’s Gallop’n Gerties. Eastside Heritage Center. https://eastsideheritagecenter.org/blog/tag/Bridle+Trails
- ^This is a website for an organization that is working with local partners (including Amazon) to preserve and share the history of the Eastside of King County. They have a board of trustees, and most of data comes from local museums and archives that were once publicly accessible in the region, though now have closed down but remain alive due to groups such as the Eastside Heritage Center. Due to all of this, it is helpful in establishing notability and covers the topic in some depth.
- Reference #2: Buerge, D. (2021, November 6). Before it was Kirkland... Post Alley | Seattle. https://www.postalley.org/2021/11/06/before-it-was-kirkland/
- ^This website is a collaborative online news organization that uses local Seattle journalists to share history and facts about the community at large. This source covers the topic in depth by telling us more about the Indigenous communities that originally lived in the region, so it is helpful in establishing notability.
- Reference #3: https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Kirkland/html/KirklandCP15C/KirklandCP15C03.html | This source isn't a formal post on a website or journal. It is an excerpt from the city of Kirkland, WA's comprehensive plan, and included information about the topic of discussion for my post. Due to this being an extremely professional and legal document, and covering the topic in some depth, it is helpful in establishing notability.
- Reference #4: About Us. Bridle Trails Park Foundation. (n.d.). https://www.bridletrails.org/about
- ^This source consists of the current board of administration that run the Bridle Trails Park Foundation. This group worked with the state government to keep the park up and running for the next 40 years, and pay half of the overall expenses to keep the park from being shut down. Due to their upkeep and care for the park, they are able to provide us with lots of depth about the topic, and are helpful in establishing notability.

[edit]Changes that I made in the article: adding about the indigenous population and their history in the region, more about the history of the area as a horse community and the clubs and activities that were once a big part of it, and what the initial use of the park as a commodity was for.
