Honoring Our Past | Shaping Our Future
In September 2019, the City of Newcastle will celebrate its 25th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, on the 25th of each month, we release a special anniversary edition of the Newsletter from Newcastle City Hall, featuring special projects, events and photos. The goal is to celebrate Newcastle, while showcasing and offering unique community activities each month.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NEWCASTLE!
On Sept. 30, 1994, the City of Newport Hills (which became Newcastle) was officially formed. Thanks to former Mayor Sonny Putter for helping us blow out the candles on our special 25th anniversary cake at Newcastle Days!

Save the Date for Boocastle!
The City of Newcastle is partnering with Newcastle Fruit & Produce to present Boocastle this October! Join us for this special Halloween event geared toward kids. We'll have additional details available as the event gets closer, but expect trick-or-treating, photo opportunities and more Halloween fun. If you'd like to get involved, contact christinac@newcastlewa.gov .
Trail of the Month
Heritage Trail
For October, we encourage you to wander along the Heritage Trail! The Heritage Trail is a pleasant walk through wooded areas, yet it’s never too far from backyards and streets. This half-mile trail makes a great loop when connected to the Highlands Trail or as a launch into the Terrace Trail. Check it out today – it’s fun for the whole family! And post your photos using the hashtags #NewcastleWA, #HikeNewcastle, #NewcastleWA25

If you want to know anything about our beautiful trail system, please bookmark  newcastletrails.org and visit often for a wealth of information, maps and photos! Thank you Newcastle Trails!
Throwback Photos
In honor of the City's anniversary, we're sharing photos from the past 25 years! If you have photos you'd like to contribute, email them to christinac@newcastlewa.gov !
