Pinus sabiniana.

There used to be five of these at the Leschi boat moorage area (Lake Washington Blvd south of E Jefferson St), as of ~2005 two of them were left, the tallest 67 ft. high*. Unless there is another planting somewhere along the lake that is probably where your cones came from.

NOTE: I'm not Jacobson!

That has got to be it! Considering I found them in madison park just up the lake from them. Thanks

Ron, I know you're not Arthur Lee Jacobson. ;-) I met him in October of 1990 here in Maple Valley and have an autographed, with a note and drawing, book of his named Trees of Seattle.

Pinus sabiniana is listed on page 261 in the first edition. Your book is more up to date.
