A good neighborhood, good schools, and friendly people.

A wide assortment of photo's below. The aircraft you see are being vectored to intercept the Localizer for the Runway 16 Approach at Sea-Tac. Depending upon traffic, they often begin their vectors to base leg from the West over Queen Anne Hill. If you decide to visit, bring your camera. The park atop Queen Anne Hill is an excellent place to take photo's of both downtown Seattle and Puget Sound. It's located right at the top of the Counterbalance (that's the really steep hill that leads from lower Queen Anne to upper Queen Anne.) When you get to the top of the hill, go a block or two, then make a left hand turn. Go over about two - three blocks, and make another left. Straight ahead is the viewpoint.

Some miscellaneous comments: (1): rents are high; (2): if we have snow in the winter, it can be hard to get home if you live atop Queen Anne (they usually close the Counterbalance.)

One note about the driving up the Counterbalance. It's not a good idea to make an immediate left turn atop the hill if you're leading a "parade" of cars. Also, watch out for pedestrians (I've had some close calls climbing the hill!!)

Some Resources:

If you like to shop, this might save you some time.

A link for those of you looking for a house - Windemere is a solid outfit (and NO - nobody told me to say that, but they have an excellent reputation in the city.)

The Queen Anne Historical Society.

A link to an article in Seattle's morning newspaper, the Post Intelligencer (called the P-I by the locals.)

Another P-I article - this one concerns lower Queen Anne Hill.

Another link to the Queen Anne Historical Society. These people are pretty dedicated. If you have any interest in the history of the neighborhood (or the city,) you should probably get in touch with them.
