This is a great place to explore Seattle from!There are restaurants, a grocery store, the zoo and Green lake within walking distance. It is a quick ride to Seattle Center and Pike's Place Market.The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and the house itself was really nice, rooms were comfortable.We enjoyed many evenings on the roof where we could see the Cascade mountains, Mt. Rainier, the Space Needle, and downtown. We even watched the Blue Angels from the roof while they were in town for Seafair.
