About this Neighborhood

Greenwood strikes an easy, neighborly balance, its 26 restaurants earning a 4.6 on Yelp and its nine coffee shops matching the warmth at 4.4. The strip runs on independent character, from the Mediterranean cooking at Gorgeous George's to the stacked plates at Valhalla Sandwiches and the French pastries at Petit Pierre Bakery. Beyond the food, bookstores, toy and hobby shops give the main street a lived-in, family-friendly charm, with pubs and bars keeping the evenings social. Three parks and five fitness spots round out a north Seattle pocket built for slow, repeat visits.
