Seattle Neighborhoods
Wallingford
List
with GoNorthwest!
Wallingford is one of
the more popular family residential neighborhoods
in Seattle. Located at the southern edge
of Green Lake in North Seattle, this residential district is bounded to the
east by the trendy University
District and by the west by historic
Fremont. Overlooking the mouth of Salmon Bay and Lake Union, Wallingford
district is within minutes of many of Seattle’s most popular attractions and
shopping areas.
Intersecting both Wallingford
and University District is 45th Avenue, famous for its sidewalk cafes,
restaurants and eclectic shops. Like its neighbor Fremont, Wallingford is a
Mecca for carefully refurbished character buildings, such as the old
Interlake School, which is now home to a tasteful assortment of stores and
residences.
The 90-acre Woodland Park lies
just north of Wallingford’s northern border, and comprises the well-known
Woodland Zoo as well as a miniature golf range, a picnic area and trails.
The adjoining Green Lake Park is home to a 50,000-year-old glacial lake.
Green Lake features a bathhouse, fishing pier and walking paths. All forms
of motor-less boating are enjoyed on the lake, as well as bird and wildlife
watching.
Gas Works Park, in South
Wallingford, reflects this area’s eclectic regard for the environment.
Overlooking Lake Union, the 19-acre park is home to a former gas
manufacturing plant that was closed down in 1956. The old compressor
building and adjoining chimneys have been preserved as part of the
recreational area. There is a children’s park area, as well as a kite-flying
hill on site.
