A CITY UPON A HILL
Every Convenience Just Down the Street
Pick up your morning latte at the excellent coffee shops just a three-minute stroll away. On Queen Anne Avenue find supermarkets, pharmacies, gyms, yoga studios, cafes and gourmet eateries galore, with a side of old neighborhood charm. The giant Whole Foods at Interbay will satisfy every food craving or culinary need.
Walk to Work, or to the Ballet
The world-renowned cultural attractions of Seattle Center and downtown Seattle (dance, theater, music, museums) beckon, a mere 10-minute walk away – as is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Walk to the new Expedia campus at Interbay and bike, via the Westlake corridor, to the South Lake Union technology hub.
Recreational Nirvana
Scattered like jewels across Queen Anne Hill, some of the most beautiful parks in Seattle (Kinnear, Bhy Kracke, Marshall, Kerry, and Parsons Garden) provide secluded, wisteria-shaded dining spots and elevated vantage points for the sweeping views. 100 pedestrian staircases energize your daily walk or run – or try Queen Anne Pool for a brisk lap workout.
An Old-Fashioned Promenade
First considered by Olmsted Brothers for their 1903 plan for Seattle, the 3.7-mile loop of Queen Anne Boulevard encircles the hill, held up by retaining walls like the massive reinforced concrete Wilcox Wall (completed 1915) that neighbors the Harlan Thomas House. Its decorative brickwork, Gothic arches, and Art Deco streetlights have earned it landmark status.
