About Queen Anne

Centrally located and on a hill, Queen Anne is a beautiful neighborhood with ample parks and greenspaces as well as popular attractions. To the north, lies Fremont and the Lake Washington Ship Canal. To the south, the Seattle Center and Downtown Seattle. Broken up into two parts, the area used to be known as “Upper Queen Anne” and “Lower Queen Anne,” but recently the lower area is now known as Uptown. Whatever you call them, both make for a tranquil respite from the busy Seattle environment.

Around Queen Anne

Upper Queen Anne offers more distinct and older homes; many of which were built in the 1800s and feature the Queen Anne-style architecture. The streets are narrow and quiet here. Lower Queen Anne (or Uptown) is where you’ll find spacious condo buildings and single-family homes with plenty of yard space.

Some of Seattle’s finest dining can be found along Queen Anne Avenue and throughout the neighborhood. The legendary Canlis Restaurant with its views of Lake Union has been serving high-profile guests since 1910. The Scandinavian Byen Bakeri is a favorite among the locals and serves pastries and sandwiches, and Bounty Kitchen off Boston Street is a popular place for breakfast or brunch.

Nestled away from busy traffic, many of the homes in Queen Anne are surrounded by parks and trees of all kinds. Kerry Park is one of the city’s best, which overlooks downtown and offers some of the best views of the Seattle skyline and Space Needle. Kinnear Park off Olympic Place is fit for both residents and pets as it offers a 5,400 square-foot dog park.

While maybe not as lively as Downtown Seattle on a Friday night, Queen Anne Avenue is the neighborhood’s main business district and a fun place to be on the weekends. Here you’ll find a variety of bars, Irish pubs, restaurants, and cocktail lounges, which are all within walking or biking distance of each other.

Sundays are great for having picnics in the parks or enjoying brunch at one of the many restaurants on Queen Anne Avenue. But if you’re looking to explore a bit farther, just north of Queen Anne in Fremont you’ll find the Fremont Sunday Street Market–an outdoor market offering over 70 vendor booths every Sunday all year round. Everything from antiques to fresh fruit to arts and crafts can be found here.

Although located on a hill, Queen Anne is incredibly walkable and bike-friendly. Seattle Metro travels down First Avenue North about every 20 minutes, making trips to and from downtown easy. The neighborhood also has easy access to Highway 99, Eastlake Avenue, Westlake Avenue, and both directions of I-5.
