S. Dedicated to WWI fallen\, our roadway is the only one remaining. \nPlanting of elms along the drive began in 1921. \nFrom a farm to market road cut through from Sunnydale to Seattle and eventually extended to the Des Moines Marina the bustling road was paved with red bricks in 1910. It was a perfect road for the Seattle Garden Club to choose for a memorial road for Washington State fallen. With a charter from the King County Commission in 1921\, 1\,400 elms were planted. At two locations visiting French generals planted elms. \nUrbanization took its toll by the 1960s. Elms north of South 128th Street were removed and a granite memorial was erected in front of Sunnydale Elementary School at South 156th Street and Des Moines Memorial Drive South. \nThis event is sponsored by the Des Moines Memorial Drive Preservation Association.  Please visit our website at: \nwww.livingroadofremembrance.com
