The Seattle Annual Manual 2019-2020

A New Year and a New ANNUAL MANUAL Welcome to this Year’s Annual Manual Our Seattle Annual Manual gives you neighborhood history, attractions, photos, plus information on your neighborhood. 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.

With all the issues our city and neighborhoods have been facing lately with development, housing and homelessness, we should always take time to remember the many things that make our community an amazing thing to be a part of.

It’s the many “local” neighborhood venues and business stakeholders that also make our neighborhoods great.

The “local business community” plays an important part in supporting your community and local schools and nights out where we reconnect with neighbors. 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 in this ever increasing “online world”.

DAY TRIP

Be Inspired In Bellingham

Bellingham is a great place for adventure, fun and natural beauty; it offers gorgeous backdrops and scenery for hiking, biking and sailing, as well as lively urban areas with great restaurants, breweries, theaters and museums.

Bellingham is located 90 miles north of Seattle. It is in Whatcom County, which also includes snow-capped Mount Baker and North Cascades National Park.

Mount Baker Highway is a scenic byway that departs from Bellingham and traverses 58 miles east, making many switchbacks as it rises to 5,140 feet, terminating with incredible alpine vistas at Artist Point in the Mount BakerSnoqualmie wilderness area. Due to worldrecord snowfall at Mt. Baker Ski Area, the final 6 miles of the road are

only open in the summer and early fall for hiking.

At sea level, the city of Bellingham hugs the waterfront with two historic areas on the Salish Sea: Fairhaven Village and Downtown.

An over-water trail stretches between the two, with views of the Bellingham Ferry Terminal, sail boats and paddlers on the bay.

Locally owned shops and restaurants in Fairhaven maintain its Victorianera charm. Downtown has become the hub of Washington State’s best craft beer makers, alongside theaters and museums with national caliber shows.

Fertile farmland surrounds Bellingham, providing exceptional farm-to-table fare. Take a drive to see the Dutch inspired farm town of Lynden, specializing in dairy and raspberry

production; the city of Ferndale with the largest collection of pioneer era, cedar-plank log cabins at Pioneer Park; and Lummi Island, where The Willows Inn ranks as Best Restaurant in North America for its hyperlocal cuisine.

No matter what season you choose to visit Bellingham and Whatcom County, there is always something going on. Here’s just a small seasonal taste of what to expect:

bountiful as the harvest.

Local farms, farmer markets and restaurants are overloaded with seasonal foods. Fall also kicks off the Art and Culture season in Whatcom County.

• Winter: A snow seeker’s best bet is December through March, when deep snow is more than likely on Mount Baker. Local theaters, museums, wineries, breweries and galleries will keep you entertained.

• Summer: Fair weather travelers should plan their trips for July through September, when the sun is shining and Salish Sea is glistening. Also in abundance are summer festivals and events.

• Spring: Spring fever in Whatcom County? We have it and you will, too.

It’s the perfect time of year to celebrate boating season. Hiking and biking are also perfect on a warm spring day.

• Fall: Autumnal colors and activities (think scenic drives and pumpkin patches) are as

Capitol Hill remains Seattle’s gayborhood despite its seemingly endless construction season. You can still find a drag show and brunch all in the same place, or check out its longtime nightclubs, where class acts and new bands waiting to be discovered keep the music pumping.

including Swedish and Harborview Medical Center and Virginia Mason.

Get away from it all and head up the hill to Volunteer Park, which offers amazing views of Downtown Seattle and the Space Needle, popularly framed through the eye of the Black Sun sculpture in a plaza across the road from the Seattle Asian Art Museum, which is being modernized and expanded to the tune of nearly $50 million.

Uniquely positioned over Interstate 5, Freeway Park provides 5.2 acres of open space between Seattle’s Downtown and First Hill neighborhoods. Hop on concrete blocks and watch the water flow or head down to the grass with a good book and take in the nature tucked surrounded by skyscrapers.

If the weather isn’t great, folks can head over to the Volunteer Park Conservatory, pay the small entrance fee, and enjoy the warm and humid microclimate the botanical garden provides. Come by in December for a holiday display and to drop your wish list on Santa.

East of Capitol Hill and First Hill is the Central District, its boundary marked by Pan-African flag crosswalks. The Central District is rapidly gentrifying, but its longtime African American heritage is still present and its community is still fighting to preserve that culture.

Light rail made it to Broadway in 2016, filling the busy Capitol Hill avenue with even more Seattleites and visitors looking to try the latest restaurants, boutique shops, tattoo parlors or thrift stores, such as Lifelong’s, which supports individuals with HIV/AIDS.

Come find great music, dance, theater and poetry at Washington Hall and the Langston Hughes Arts Center, or get in some play at Judkins Park, which will soon enough have its own light rail station nearby. If you still have energy, head up Martin Luther King Jr. Way to Powell Barnett Park, with its fun playground and basketball court.

Capitol Hill Station also provides quick access to Cal Anderson Park in the heart of the neighborhood, which will soon have hundreds of new neighbors when a large apartment development opens on Broadway. The two will be connected via an AIDS memorial pathway.

It’s also close to the First Hill Streetcar line, which can take you as far as the International District/Chinatown.

First Hill is the densest neighborhood in Seattle. The community celebrates its rise by way of residential towers surrounding a cluster of medical providers,

Much of the action can be found along Madison Street, the only street that makes a complete connection from Downtown to Lake Washington.

ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL Located in the heart of Capitol Hill, St. Joseph is a K-8 school dedicated to the education and development of young people from all backgrounds.

owned Leschi Market (boasting its own label among 1,400 varieties of wine) and low-key eateries. Leschi is also home to the Central Area Senior Center.

A mix of longtime residents and new families coming into the neighborhood means a median age of 50.

Tucked between Madison Park and Capitol Hill is Madison Valley, with its boutique shops and mix of dining options at every price point. Get your food to go and head north to the Washington Park Arboretum, with 230 acres of green space filled with University of Washington plant collections and walking and biking trails. For a small fee, people can also visit the Seattle Japanese Garden, or wait until the first Thursday of the month to attend for free.

Spread among the banks and real estate offices are a popular neighborhood market, a local bookstore, bakery, cafes, restaurants and pubs.

Relatively quiet during the rainy season, Madison Park Beach explodes with activity during the summer.

Following Lake Washington Boulevard south takes you to Madrona, which ironically is known for its magnolias, as well as being the neighborhood where the local chapter of the Black Panthers were active.

The Madrona Community Council hosts its Mayfair celebration every year, and raises funds to hang flowers along its business corridor on 34th Avenue, where you’ll find Seattle’s first Cupcake Royale shop, as well as Molly Moon’s ice cream shop and a glassybaby studio and retail shop.

Heading further south along Lake Washington you’ll find Leschi, with its popular public marinas, family-

Take a left off Queen Anne Avenue and watch a local baseball game being played at the West Queen Anne Playfield or sign up for an activity at the popular community center.

It’s also where the design review board meets to assess new developments, such as upcoming plans to double the size of the Queen Anne Safeway while providing nearly 300 new apartments on top in the next few years.

While that’s happening, there will still be the Trader Joe’s next door, which replaced Metropolitan Market when it moved to Lower Queen Anne, also known as Uptown.

Once you clear the steep and historic Counterbalance, where trolleys have been replaced by buses and cars, you’ll find yourself atop Queen Anne, where upscale dining options coexist with casual eateries like 5 Spot, Betty and Queen Anne Cafe. Enjoy a date night at chef Maximillian Petty’s Eden Hill or Ethan Stowell’s How to Cook a Wolf.

Petty recently changed to only offering tasting menus, but his new Eden Hill Provisions goes back to basics, with a stronger focus on family dining.

Uptown is experiencing a major redevelopment boom, with old structures making way for taller, amenity-filled apartments with boutique retail on the ground floor.

The Uptown Alliance also led the way to make the neighborhood one of Seattle’s arts districts, which complements the historic Seattle Center that spans several city blocks.

The Seattle Center arena is being rebuilt to accommodate hockey, basketball and larger crowds for more musical performances, and will reopen in 2021.

There’s still plenty to do at Seattle Center, including geeking out at MoPOP (Museum of Pop Culture) or taking a vertical trip to the top of the Space Needle, where a new all-glass observation deck provides amazing views of the city.

If shopping is on the itinerary, jump on the Seattle Center Monorail, which was constructed for the 1962 Worlds Fair, and take a short, scenic trip to Westlake Center.

Head across Magnolia Bridge and into Magnolia Village, with its locally owned restaurants, cafes, bookstore and churches of almost every denomination. Or stay on Magnolia Boulevard and take it down to Discovery Park, enjoying the view of the Puget Sound through madrona trees.

Fishermen’s Terminal is the Port of Seattle’s oldest facility, which sees mariners head out to Alaska in the summer, making way for more recreational boaters. Come see the Seattle Fishermen’s Memorial before enjoying the bounty of the sea offered at its restaurants and the Wild Salmon Seafood Market.

Discovery Park offer 534 acres of nature, with trails to beaches to the north and south.

Fishermen’s Terminal celebrates the return of the North Pacific fishing fleet with a fall festival in September, where the chowder flows like wine and the occasional pirate can be seen passing through.

Complete the loop and head down to Fishermen’s Terminal — there is also a back lot on the way that leads to the historic Ballard Locks.

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.

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 bike-share rides, so you don’t have to worry about rush hour on Mercer Street. Also, the new Highway 99 tunnel is up and running.

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.

It’s a great neighborhood to grab a bite in before heading over to CenturyLink or Safeco fields for 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 anime and Japanese art inside at Kinokunya.

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 ahs some real reassures 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 adjoin 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 its 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 longstanding 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 This is it: the center of the Universe, according to Fremont and its residents. There’s a chocolate factory, restaurants, bars, a statue of Stalin, local breweries and Aurora Avenue. For those seeking the center of the universe the Fremont Bridge, in all its blue glory, can be useful.

Underneath Aurora Avenue resides the Fremont Troll, an area always teeming with people taking selfies. It’s a great spot for when it’s raining. Maybe that’s why the Fremont Troll chooses to hang out there.

In the summer during Soulstice, a festival of all sorts, Fremont becomes a wild spectacle. People feel fine to walk Fremont’s streets wearing body paint and plenty of confidence. It’s an extravagant event of eccentricities and

26

traffic. If you travel by bus, get ready for the 32 to change its usual route.

Sit by the canal that connects Lake Union to Shilshole Bay and then Puget Sound. Occasionally a boat will pass through the canal, prompting the Fremont Bridge to make way. It’s a pleasant spot where some techies or grocery store workers hang out.

Nearby is Green Lake and the Woodland Park Zoo, so if the center of the universe ever gets boring, there’s plenty else to see. Around Green Lake there’s a 2.8-mile paved loop. Woodland Park Zoo has exhibits boasting more than 1,100 animals.

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 f 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 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

It is our wish that you leave here revitalized, rejuvenated and ready for the world.

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

“Uff da!” is a saying that stems from Ballard’s historic Scandinavian community. The National Nordic Museum houses information on Ballard and the Norwegians that helped establish the neighborhood and its maritime roots.

Ballard is home to SeafoodFest in the summertime.

The annual traditional started in 1974 and is a weekend full of seafood selling and eating. Make sure to check out the lutefisk-eating contest, and if you don’t know what a lutefisk is, all the more reason is to show up.

Check out Golden Gardens Park, located in the northern portion Ballard. A natural reprieve, there’s a beach, grassy park area and views of Puget Sound. There’s a nice path to walk on, barbecues and a playground for kids. Walk up to the Golden Garden Wetlands and you may see a group

of ducks and possibly turtles. Step onto the beach and you might just see a seal.

Shilshole Bay Marina is right next to Golden Gardens and is full of sailboats – sloops, cutters and even trimarans.

There are speed boats, of course, but there may also be a few paddle boards.

Sticking to the boating tangent, the Ballard Locks connect Lake Union to Puget Sound, and is a local stage displaying the latest in the yachting lifestyle. At the locks, right before your eyes, you can watch a boat rise and fall about 40 feet, water pouring into the locks or draining out.

The salmon ladder is cool, and it’s way better when salmon are using it.

WEST SEATTLE

West Seattle… It isn’t a bridge too far
