About this Neighborhood

Green Lake lives up to its name, a Seattle neighborhood built around its park and the loop of runners, walkers, and paddlers that circle it. The dining scene is deep and well-liked — 34 restaurants at a 4.3 Yelp average, over 7,500 reviews strong, with Mighty-O Donuts, Brunello Ristorante, and Mykonos Greek Grill among the favorites. Fourteen coffee shops keep the whole thing caffeinated. Activity is the throughline: nine fitness spots and seven parks make this a place where movement is part of the daily texture. New American and Mexican kitchens fill out a Foursquare lineup that pairs naturally with an after-workout appetite.
