Living in North Seattle


The North side of Seattle is a place where tech savvy meets nature in the community. This area is strewn with dozens of neighborhood parks, beaches, including quick access to hiking, skiing, camping and more a short trip away in the mountains. As well as being in close proximity to major telecommunications and technology companies, like Microsoft, T-Mobile, and Boeing (just to name a few!).

The North side of Seattle boasts a place full of parks, historic and popular visitor landmarks, education, community, and more. Residents here have many reasons to love this area. The gardening and P-patch community is one that flourishes, inspired by the natural beauty throughout these neighborhoods. Community members are involved in businesses, community events, activities, and the greater good of the city. Many of the bloggers that are centered on these communities support and promote the efforts and caring of their neighbors, which no doubt play into the allure of the North side. Weekly Farmers’ Markets and seasonal street festivals are put on throughout the year support the community; which help to encourage sharing among diversity (both humans and pets!), foster new community programs and encourage growth among these determined and talented residents. Much local and small businesses hail in this area, making “home” a convenient and serviceable area. Surprisingly, these neighborhoods can even promote green and easy commutes!

Transportation from these areas into downtown and the airport is easy and frequent, making the commute options and travel time a non-issue for these community members. Neighborhoods in the north have many community groups and programs that encourage alternate commuting means like bike-riding, ride shares, and public transport. Even trips to the Edmonds ferry and Indian Casino fall in close range for long trips and commuters.

Even while the North side places great emphasis on families, the feel & caring of a small community, and outdoor activities; there is so much more to these neighborhoods. Neighborhoods in the North side of Seattle house some of the best bakeries, cafes, local shopping, markets, and neighborhood bars. Here, there is entertainment and services available for all kinds of people. Whether you’re looking for a good crafting shop, a small Norwegian bar, or a fun park to play in with your pets, the North side is a place that can’t be beat!
