A New Year and a New ANNUAL MANUAL Welcome to this year’s Annual Manual With so many things to see and do all around us in the Pacific Northwest and even a short drive out of town we can often overlook and undervalue all we have right within our own neighborhoods. Want to figure out more about where you live in Seattle? Our Seattle Annual Manual gives you neighborhood history, attractions, photos, plus information on housing and schools. If you are looking to explore other neighborhoods or just refresh your own give it a read and be sure to let us know if something should be added about our many changing neighborhoods across Seattle . Also, please take time to remember it’s the many “local” neighborhood business stakeholders that also make your neighborhood great. They play an important part in supporting your community and local schools and nights out. Make sure you patronize them regularly throughout the year and ensure they continue to be there year after year as a vital part of your neighborhood.

The Seattle Annual Manual 2018-2019
FINDING YOUR NEST IN SEATTLE If you’re looking for your a place to call home in Seattle, whether renting or buying, your timing couldn’t be better. After years of ever-escalating prices, low inventory, and multiple offers on available apartments, condos, and houses, the market is in transition to a more normal pace. If you’ve been in the city a while, it’s a welcome relief as a buyer or renter. If you’re new to the area, the current situation is a lot more like what you’re been used to — unless you’re moving from the San Francisco Bay Area, where the market has been similar. Searching for your nest Coming into the Seattle real estate market now as a buyer means you’ve got more options than buyers have in years. Homes are sitting longer on the market, even in the hottest neighborhoods. You’ll be able to buy at market rates, with the usual contingencies — home inspections, mortgage financing — and room for possible negotiation with price and settlement dates. In this real estate environment, you have more protections as buyer than you did even three months ago. If you’re looking to rent, there’s more availability now than there was six months ago. Though rent prices haven’t dropped much, getting a rental isn’t the scramble it was, with competing bids higher than the listed lease amount. However, we’re seeing more people looking at high rental prices and figuring out they could buy a similar or better property for less per month, with the benefit of building equity. Where to roost Whether renting or
buying, determining what you value in a neighborhood will help you find the perfect place for you.: • Are you looking for a lively nightlife outside your door? • A quieter spot near a particular school? • Do you want to be close to your extended family or far away? • What’s your commute like to and from work. The right neighborhood all depends on what’s important to you. With the expansion of the light rail system and our already great bus service, access to public transit is easy from any Seattle neighborhood. To be within strolling distance of hip bars and restaurants and a lively entertainment scene, look in: • Ballard, it was named one of the top entertainment neighborhoods in the U.S. • Capitol Hill, which has a metropolitan, eclectic atmosphere • Fremont — it’s like a mini Silicon Valley, with tech workers and entrepreneurs mixing with local artists For a quieter lifestyle or more family-oriented neighborhoods, look to: • Madison Park • Queen Anne • Some parts of North Capitol Hill. You’ll find walkable neighborhoods with village vibes, but just a short drive to downtown. • Consider West Seattle, it’s kind of it’s own little bubble — 10 minutes by car to downtown, but it also has trendy bars, restaurants, and retail. If you’re looking for the most bang for your buck as a first-time buyer, look at Seward Park down through Columbia City. You can find a lot of opportunity here, as homes are developing out. Do what I do and let the data be your guide. Anywhere there are more
properties available, you have a better chance of getting a home you love at a price you can afford. Let the numbers tell you where that is. If there are similar homes for sale on the same block or street, and there’s only one a few blocks over, look where the volume is. You’ll end up with a better deal. Back to school If being close to good schools is important to you, look to Madison Park, Sand Point, Windermere, and View Ridge. The elementary schools are good to excellent, and the high schools are excellent. You’ll find many Seattle residents opt for private schools. There are highly rated private schools in Madison Park, Madrona, Capitol Hill and North Seattle. The best public schools are located across the lake, on the Eastside through Mercer Island. Get your finances in order Most mortgage lenders will say you can afford a property priced two to three times your gross income. Take a look at your budget, determine how much you’re comfortable spending each month on housing. Have your financing lined up before you make an offer on a home. Meet with a lender to get a prequalification letter stating the amount you’re eligible to borrow. Keep in mind there will be added fees and taxes when you make settlement. Find the right representation While you can do a whole lot of research online, you’re still going to need to call in a professional when it comes time to make an offer. If you find the right place online, you also have to find the right broker to help you. Finding an experienced
broker is a little harder right now — a lot of people got their real estate licenses as the market was booming. And all you have to do to be featured next to a listing on sites like Zillow is pay a fee. That broker whose picture and contact information is in the right sidebar may never have even seen the home you’re looking at before. To position yourself for the best return on your housing investment, you want to go with a seasoned broker. The single most important question to ask is “how many homes have you sold in a transitioning market?” Most anyone could get a sale here and there in the past couple of years, but brokers who have been successful when times were tougher have knowledge you’ll need. Now more than ever. Past behavior is the best predictor of future performance. While the Seattle real estate market is in transition, it creates a great opportunity for buyers. You won’t get involved in everescalating bidding wars, you can protect yourself with home inspections so you’re aware of what you’re buying, and you can settle into in one of the most beautiful, diverse, and culturally vibrant cities in the country.
Welcome home.

DOWNTOWN
Int’l District | Pioneer Square | Belltown | South Lake Union Downtown Seattle is where visitors and residents alike can see the city’s history rising above them through century-old structures, which adds to the bustling central neighborhood’s charm. People heading into downtown on light rail will inevitably end up at Westlake Center, where they can hop the monorail to Seattle Center and check out the Space Needle. Or, they can stay in the city center and get in some shopping. At night they can take in a show at 5th Avenue, The Paramount or The Moore theaters. Pioneer Square is the oldest neighborhood, providing fine-art galleries and cafés, while also serving as a major employment hub Downtown. Occidental Park is a brick promenade that will definitely alert people that they’ve arrived in Pioneer Square. It’s a great neighborhood to grab a bite in before heading over to CenturyLink or Safeco fields for a Seahawks, Mariners or Sounders game. Belltown to the west is cluttered with restaurants, clubs, high-end condominiums, and is just a hop, skip and a jump away from Elliott Bay. People can catch a remastered classic film at the Cinerama, walk down to the waterfront and tracing it south to the Pike Place Market.
South of that is the International District, which is made of Chinatown, Japantown and Little Saigon. The ID is a great place to get some dim sum, ramen or pho, and also is home to some fast-paced Asian markets. For a larger, more casual shopping experience, there’s Uwajimaya. Find some animé and Japanese art inside at Kinokunya. With the First Hill Streetcar, people can start in Chinatown and move east to Little Saigon. South Lake Union has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, with Amazon setting its tone as a great place in Seattle for large businesses and those just starting out. From sleepy industrial neighborhood to bustling entrepreneurial hangout, South Lake Union has seen a major transformation over the last decade. There’s plenty of public transportation, or try the new bikeshare rides, so you don’t have to worry about rush hour on Mercer Street. Check out SLU’s shops, restaurants and new condos, or take a 13-minute streetcar ride from Downtown to Lake Union Park — maybe rent a kayak, or learn a thing or two at The Museum of History & Industry.

CAPITOL HILL FIRST HILL CENTRAL DISTRICT Capitol Hill remains a hot real estate market, with more housing coming up year after year. People are drawn there for its variety of cheap eats and fancy fare, eclectic arts district, rampant bar scene, multiple music venues and inclusive neighbors. Seattle’s historic LGBTQ neighborhood, Capitol Hill boasts frequent drag shows, gay and lesbian bars, people-focused nonprofits, and one of the best pride festivals in Western Washington. Capitol Hill has a history of supporting peaceful protest, and many marches start out at Cal Anderson Park, a great community asset in this urban neighborhood, where every summer there are nighttime movies playing and an annual garage sale that draws in folks from around the city. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the Pike/Pine corridor and head north for solitude in Volunteer Park, a 48-acre oasis where you can sit in the grass with a good book and occasionally see live action role players smacking each other with foam swords. Come New Years Eve, people flock to the park for an unobstructed view of the annual fireworks display downtown. There is also the Volunteer Park Conservatory and Seattle Asian Art Museum, which will reopen bigger and better in fall 2019, following a major renovation and expansion.
If you’re coming to the city wanting to age in place, First Hill to the south includes Swedish, Harborview and Virginia Mason medical centers. The densest neighborhood in Seattle keeps adding apartment towers as developers look to satisfy not only retirees, but also young families attracted to First Hill. It’s a quick downhill commute into downtown, but with plenty of its own offerings, including Freeway Park and the free Frye Art Museum and Town Hall Seattle, which is undergoing a major $25 million remodel. East of Capitol Hill and First Hill is the Central District, where the African American residents who shaped its history continue to try to preserve the neighborhood’s culture as redevelopment continues at a quick pace. You’ll know you’ve reached your destination when you see the Pan-African flag crosswalks installed by the city. Come find great music, dance, theater and poetry at Washington Hall and the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center.
ZIP: 98112, 98122, 98102 BOUNDARIES: North: East Roanoke Street South: Most pick Pike Street as the dividing line between Capitol Hill and First Hill, with First Hill running south to Yesler Way West: Interstate 5 East: 23rd Avenue. Broadway unites First and Capitol Hill

Madison Park is one of several Seattle neighborhoods bordering the west coast of Lake Washington, where residents and visitors alike enjoy recreating its waters and, during Seafair, watching hydroplane races and Blue Angels in flight. When the summer temps are just right, Madison Park Beach is full of swimmers, either wading in or jumping off the diving board at its floating dock. Aside from a well patronized Starbucks, the businesses in Madison Park are locally owned and supported. Madrona to the south is a quiet residential neighborhood with a small business corridor that includes bars, restaurants, salons and a consignment shop where businesswomen and socialites pass on their designer clothing. Less affordable than when the Black Panthers called the neighborhood home, a very active community council supports a number of neighborhood events, including the annual Follow the iconic views of Mt. Rainier south along
Lakeside Avenue to Leschi, where people can watch the boats coming and going from the public marinas, or grab a bite before venturing through the myriad public parks that briefly take you out of city living and into the woods. Stuck in the middle of Capitol Hill and Madison Park on Madison Street-the only street in Seattle that connects all the way from Lake Washington to Elliott Bay-is Madison Valley. In the next few years, the City of Seattle will be creating rapid-transit infrastructure that will terminate in Madison Valley, which is sure to boost visitation at the Washington Park Arboretum, with 230 acres of green space filled with University of Washington plant collections and walking and biking trails. The arboretum is also home to the Seattle Japanese Garden, where people can go to find solitude, watch koi swimming and participate in a number of programs highlighting Japanese culture.

PORT TOWNSEND Located on the Olympic Peninsula in the northwest corner of Washington State, and less than a two-hour drive west of Seattle, Port Townsend is one of only three Victorian seaports in the United States. The city boasts two National Historic Landmark Districts. One district celebrates the authentic Victorian buildings downtown and the stately, elegant homes uptown, while the second district encompasses historic Fort
Worden State Park. Named one of the “Coolest Small Towns in America” by Budget Travel, NBC News, FOX News and Yahoo Travel, you’ll see why with its delightful array of boutique shops, captivating art galleries and delicious eateries. Marvell at the city’s vibrant waterfront. Rent a kayak, classic wooden rowboat or a bicycle, or take off on foot and explore magnificent trails with stunning views.
For your list of “must see and do” include The Jefferson Museum of Art & History, located downtown in historic City Hall; the Rothschild House, located uptown on the bluff; the Port Townsend Farmers Market, open April – December; and downtown, the Northwest Maritime Center, home of the Wooden Boat Festival; whale watching out of Point Hudson Marina and live performances at Key City Public Theatre.
Major festivals include the Rhododendron Festival in May, the Wooden Boat Festival the second weekend in September and the Port Townsend Film Festival in late September. Port Townsend’s historic and hip vibe, art, food, craft beverages and shopping will make it a destination you will want to return to time and again. EnjoyPT.com
and theatrical storytelling, while the Foss Waterway Seaport Museum pays homage to the region’s deep ties to its waterways that have been used for trade and recreation for centuries. As the hometown of Dale Chihuly, naturally you don’t have to go to a museum to enjoy his work. There’s more glass art from him and other famous artists in public places throughout the city than you will find in any museum in the world. The Bridge of Glass features more than 2,500 original Chihuly works. Union Station – a former train station and now a U.S.
federal courthouse – has five separate, massive Chihuly installations. The Swiss Restaurant and Pub is the only bar in the world to feature a Chihuly installation. Even when you choose to stay at the glass-themed boutique Hotel Murano in downtown Tacoma, you’re not far from the glass art that makes Tacoma an ideal trip away from the hustle and bustle of Seattle. traveltacoma.com

TACOMA Tacoma is a city with a heart of glass The waterfront city of Tacoma is an easily-walkable city where culture and adventure live in harmony. As one of Forbes Travel Guide’s “13 Art Trips You Need to Take,” it’s clear that art, history and culture take center stage in Tacoma’s centrally located Museum District. There, you can wander among six worldclass museums, all within walking distance – or a free Tacoma Link Light Rail ride – from one another, as well as the Greater Tacoma Convention Center and downtown hotels. Tacoma Art Museum boasts both collections of
glass art and one of the most important collections in the country of art from the American West. The Museum of Glass features some of the most innovative works of glass art from the biggest names in the world, as well as a functioning hot shop with auditorium, where you can watch the masters ply their trade.

QUEEN ANNE MAGNOLIA INTERBAY A trip to Queen Anne or Magnolia is much like a trip to a small town. Each has a bustling main thoroughfare of retail, a bevy of dining options and a number of coffeeshops, good neighborhood schools, a community center, a weekly farmers market, a bookstore, and plenty of parks and green space. With few exceptions, all the necessities of day-to-day life are within close range. Indeed, these two neighborhoods that most would offhandedly describe as merely residential have a lot in common, but each provide a different flair that warrant a visit. Queen Anne has increasingly become a dining destination, with newcomers like Eden Hill (run by Chef Maximillian Petty) joining the more established options like Ethan Stowell’s How to Cook a Wolf, and longtime favorites like the Paragon Bar & Grill and the 5 Spot. But for every local restaurant there’s seemingly at least one small, locally-owned shop or service also worth a stop. Blue Highway Games runs the gamut with board and card game options for all ages, Queen Anne Frame & Avenue Arts seamlessly integrates its picture framing business with a gift shop, and both Three Birds Home and Gifts and Queen Anne Dispatch stand as their own unique outlets. Queen Anne Book Company brings a bevy of authors through their doors each year for readings and special events, as a worthwhile way to spend an evening.
Queen Anne ZIP: 98199 BOUNDARIES: North: Salmon Bay and the Fremont Cut South: Elliott Bay Park West: Elliott Bay East: 15th Ave. N.W.
And for all of the overarching perks of Queen Anne, much of the same goes for Magnolia (with its own twist). While Queen Anne has the Avenue, Magnolia has the Village, where for every meal option like El Ranchon, Rogo’s, and the new Petit Pierre Bakery (a French outlet run by a pair of former Parisians), there’s a quaint shopping outlet. This includes the Magnolia Garden Center, The Brik Boutique, and Modele’s Home Furnishings. Also worth a mention is the nautical flair of Fishermen’s Terminal. As the home of the North Pacific Fishing Fleet, vessels move in and out as passersby stroll the stretch of retail and restaurants at the dock. It all comes together in a quintessentially Seattle display with the Fishermen’s Fall Festival, which celebrates the return of the fleet with a day of live music, demonstrations, fresh seafood, and community. Fishermen’s Terminal also straddles the area between Magnolia and Queen Anne known as Interbay. Despite its reputation as an industrial expanse down 15th Avenue West, Interbay has become a destination all its own, with the Interbay Golf Course the main attraction for many, and the Interbay P-Patch a somewhat hidden gem despite being one of the city’s largest community gardens. Speaking of green space, Kerry Park provides the iconic postcard view of the skyline from the top of Queen Anne,

while the expansive Discovery Park in Magnolia provides a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The city’s largest public park is also considered one of the best to view wildlife, with hundreds of species of bird known to call it home. No conversation about these three neighborhoods is complete without mentioning the area just down the hill from Queen Anne: Uptown, another increasingly burgeoning area. Of course, the biggest attraction at the base of the hill is one that’s been there for over a half-century. That brings us to Seattle Center. Nearly 60 years after it hosted the World’s Fair, the campus has experienced a revitalization of sorts in recent years, with the opening of Chihuly Garden & Glass and addition of radio station KEXP — and plenty of live music — to the site to accompany other attractions like the Pacific Science Center, the Experience Music Project and, of course, the Space Needle. Most weekends throughout the summer, the Center is bustling with events like the Bite of Seattle and Bumbershoot.

NORTHEAST SEATTLE
Lake City | U-District | Maple Leaf | Ravenna | Roosevelt N.E. Seattle among Seattle neighborhoods, the northeast is a bit of an island — most readily reached by car and one of the notoriously least walkable sections of the city thanks to a significant lack of sidewalks. But it would be a mistake to write off Northeast Seattle, which has some real treasures for residents. The north end’s shopping hub is Northgate Mall, with local anchor tenant Nordstrom. Nearby is the towering visage of Thornton Place, a residential and retail complex that features a multi-story Regal stadium theater, a plaza with tables and chairs, a water fountain popular with visiting children, and adjoining restaurants and condominiums. Wander west and you’ll find Bitter Lake Park (where kids play soccer rain or shine) or the hidden entryways to Haller Lake. Head east and you’ll find tight-knit Lake City. Douglas Park provides a locale for a nice stroll or, if it’s August, you can catch the Pioneer Days Parade. Venture south and you’ll approach Maple Leaf with, its nook shops on Roosevelt and the sprawling Maple Leaf Reservoir Park. The park affords views of the city and Mount Rainier. Further south and you’ll hit Ravenna. There, you can stop inside Bagel Oasis, one of the only authentic bagel shops in the city. You can also find Third Place Books and its adjoining café, Vios, as well as the basement bar, Pub at Third Place. If you need a killer guitar, there’s the long-standing Trading Musician. You could use it to play tunes while chilling in the west end of Cowen Park — or you could just play volleyball on one of Cowen’s courts.
Further westward brings the curious observer to Roosevelt, where the beautifully remodeled high school stands sentinel amid shops, dive bars, soccer pubs (Atlantic Crossing), restaurants and boutiques. Roosevelt is also the throughway to the U-District where the university seems to be driving constant construction. Green bike lanes, busy Northeast 45th Street flush with cars and hustling college students, the “Ave” humming with pubs and shops and the University Book Store; the University of Washington continues to grow with new dormitories and a completely revamped sports complex. And the once sleepy University Village shopping plaza has evolved into a major arena of upscale shops and restaurants. Where else can you get internationally renowned dim sum, a platinum wedding band, the latest iPhone and a cup of frozen yogurt before treating your severe case of sticker shock at an on site hospital? But if its old-school shopping and browsing that’s needed, then try the University District Farmers Market which, unlike most markets in the city, runs year round and offers way more than just local fruit and vegetables.

WALLINGFORD & FREMONT In Seattle’s self-professed “Center of the Universe,” the quirky reigns supreme. The Fremont neighborhood remains a haven for letting your freak flag fly, and is most well-known for its annual Solstice Fair held every June, where hundreds of Seattleites don a layer of paint and their birthday suits to celebrate the summer solstice. Men and women of all shapes and sizes festoon their bodies in a rainbow of colors before sitting (gently) on their bicycles and riding the parade route along Leary Way Northwest before the arrival of the goofy (and recently secured) official floats. That’s par for the course for what is sometimes referred to as “The People’s Republic of Fremont,” a name gained from the neighborhood’s reputation in the 1970s as a home to counterculture revolutionaries and artists - a reputation which persists today.
Look no further than the larger-than-life statue of Vladimir Lenin, founder of the Soviet Union, who overlooks Leary Way at the heart of Fremont. The controversial statue is seen as a monument to communism by some, an artistic statement by others and simply a quirky Fremont site by most. Fremont is also home to the prettiest and busiest doubleleaf bascule bridge in town. It opens on average more than 30 times a day to let boaters in the Fremont Cut make their way into and out of Lake Union or to Puget Sound. There are also an assortment of funky shops and restaurants, a Spanish-style library, a famous troll under the Aurora Bridge who grips the shell of an actual Volkswagen Beetle, waterfront promenades, marine repair facilities and a few fantastic bars and breweries (Fremont Brewing is a city favorite, while the cavernous Brouwer’s Cafe serves Belgian fare with the city’s best tap list). It’s also home to Gasworks Park, one of the best seats from which to watch fireworks on Fourth of July. Just up the hill is the bustling, tidy neighborhood of

Wallingford. Here, explorers can find the city’s best Japanese food and a nautical-themed bar with great happy hour prices. It’s also possible to find (a little) respite. There’s much to see here, particularly along Wallingford Avenue North. You can find some of the best views of Downtown, Queen Anne Hill and some sort of needle to space which appears on all the postcards. The neighborhood is home to fine restaurants, oddball shops (Archie McPhee’s, anyone?) and some killer music venues (if you haven’t taken in a show at the Sea Monster Lounge, do so now and thank us later). The original Molly Moon’s ice cream is here, and it still boasts long lines for the sweet stuff.

GREENWOOD PHINNEY RIDGE GREEN LAKE
Greenwood, Phinney Ridge and Green Lake are like a set of triplets — as thick as thieves and occasionally hard to tell apart.
Phinney Ridge is truly that — a ridge no wider than Phinney Avenue North which descends to Green Lake to the east and Greenwood to the west and north. Each neighborhood has much to offer in a very accessible way. Probably the area’s greatest asset is Woodland Park. The park is underrated as a respite from the urban hustle, perhaps due to its proximity to the more popular Green Lake Park. But in Woodland you can escape under the quiet of the tall maples, cedars and firs as if you were somewhere along Mount Rainier’s Wonderland Trail. A pleasant side effect of the park’s solitude is that there’s always a table available for picnics. If you want to play tennis, go lawn bowling, baseball or skateboard, you can. Does Fido need to stretch his legs? There’s a dog park for that. If you want to see Malaysian tigers up close, the Woodland Park Zoo is right next door. Of course, Green Lake is one of the most popular recreation spots for locals. The lake retains much of its history. The Bathhouse still hosts theater, and the southerly Aqua Theater’s stadium seats still packs in fans of competitive boating. Back up the ridge there’s more than 20 blocks of shops both new and old. Greenwood Hardware has been around since 1948. There, Marty Spiegel — known to many locals as the “Honorary Mayor of Greenwood” — will answer all of your questions. The ridge also plays host to the Greenwood Car Show,
which gets bigger and bigger each year. In addition to the funky restaurants and shops around the intersection of Greenwood Avenue North and North 85th Street (if you’re into squirrel taxidermy, check out The Cozy Nut pub at 123 N. 85th St.), the neighborhood plays host to an annual Seafair Parade in late July. People line the streets with lawn chairs and coolers and await the slaloming motorcycle cops, kids on unicycles, drill teams and the boom of the Seafair Pirates’ cannon fire. A block up from the parade’s end at Sixth Avenue Northwest is Greenwood’s new gem: Chuck’s Hop Shop. Converted a few years ago from a sleazy mini-mart, this place now lets you enjoy some of the best beers in the world while your kid can eat scooped ice cream, your dog can chill out under you and the aroma of one of the various food trucks fills your nostrils.

BALLARD There’s a connection to the past in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, as unlikely as it may seem when glitzy box houses shoot up overnight and glassy apartment complexes loom over the former fishing village. The Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, opened in 1917, hold a tenuous grasp on the days of exploration and adventure that marked early 20th Century Seattle. On July 4, 1917, the SS Roosevelt steamed its way through the Government Locks, christening the massive civil engineering undertaking and officially connecting Lake Union and Lake Washington to Puget Sound. Crowds of the young but booming lined the shores of from Leschi Park to the Montlake Cut down to the Ballard Locks. A newspaper of the time estimated that half of the city’s population came out to watch a procession of ships head through the locks. Since then, perhaps no place save South Lake Union has changed so much, and much of that change in the last decade. Ten years ago, the Ballard of old had but a Safeway and a QFC set back-to-back. An unassuming library quietly served the community, a Denny’s stood in the futuristic Googie architectural style and the neighboring Sunset Bowl provided bowlers with hours of fun. Single-family Craftsman homes lined every avenue, not a single fauxfuturist box house in sight. Today those places exist only as memories stored in greyer heads. Old Ballard was leisurely; new Ballard is far faster. New Ballard is home to tasty microbrews, authentic restaurants and savory donut shops (gotta love Mighty-O). The QFC has been modernized and has been joined by Trader Joe’s. A luxurious library is across the street from both a skate park and a children’s spray park. The Majestic Bay, a triplex cinema built in 1914 and renovated at the turn of the millennium, is the perfect spot for a night of silver screen dreams. The neighborhood is also home to Swedish Ballard, a hospital with a host of amenities, including a maternity ward, oncology center, surgical services and diabetes education
program. The Craftsmans have given way to behemoth condominiums and apartment complexes. In some ways the Ballards of old and new have learned to coexist. The centenarian locks are still one of Seattle’s most visited tourist attractions and allow thousands of ships to pass through every year. The tang of sea salt and creosote are carried alongside the cry of gulls in the air. St. Alphonsus holds mass just up the street from Mod Pizza. Beachgoers of all stripes marry, play volleyball and sun bathe at Golden Gardens on gorgeous summer days. Ballard still remains home to SeafoodFest in July, Viking Days in August and the 17th of May Nordic Heritage Parade. If events like that can introduce lutefisk and Norwegian charm to the sleeve-tattooed 25-year-olds pulling six figures from Amazon, Ballard’s spirit might survive yet.

SOUTH SEATTLE
Georgetown | Beacon Hill | Rainier Valley | Columbia City Seattle’s South End comprises numerous neighborhoods that include Columbia City, Hillman City, Seward Park, Mount Baker, South Park, Rainier Valley, Rainier Beach, and Beacon Hill, Georgetown, SODO and the Industrial District. The South end’s Georgetown is Seattle’s oldest residential neighborhood, annexed in 1904. Today it represents a hip new vibe with great food, art and after work venues as well as brew pubs and craft wine makers that are redefining the oldest neighborhood into a trendy worth-visit drive or place to be before or after sports venues in the SODO Area. SODO a once industrial and Port only area now comprises a vast array of companies which include Starbucks, numerous tech companies like REAL NETWORKS, KING 5 News and most visibly both the stadium venues of Seahawks, Mariners and Seattle sounders. Stretching above SODO and Georgetown is Beacon Hill which looms above the Rainier Valley as well. Beacon Hill is a multicultural hillside that offers public golf, lawn bowling and ethnic markets to serve everyone. Beacon Hill a once very affordable neighborhood has long been in change as redevelopment and new housing begins to replace many older homes throughout the neighborhood. The Rainier Valley is one long vast stretch of an area encompassing several of the South End neighborhood including Rainier Beach and Columbia Cit. The Valley was once a shallow swampland swelling with overflow from Lake Washington. Today it’s a new center of redevelopment and growth and an easily accessible collection of neighborhoods via light rail cutting through the area. It is a diverse population representing numerous ethnic and age groups with wide array of dining, entertainment and services stretched throughout the two main corridors serving it both MLK and Rainier Avenue South. The neighborhood of Seward Park is really two distinct areas the water side, and the Rainier Avenue side. The Lake Washington waterside being primarily residential and parklike and the avenue side being an active hub of dining, entertainment and activities. It also houses the oldest synagogue in the state, established in the early 1960s. The heart and namesake of the area is 300-acre Seward Park, with 120 acres of old growth forest and miles of hiking paths and beaches.
