Greenwood
Community Information
The neighborhood
of Greenwood is located north of Phinney Ridge (near Woodland Park Zoo), east
of Ballard and west of Green Lake. Once the final stop on the Seattle trolley
line, Greenwood is now an entity all its own. Annexed by Seattle in 1954, the
local Chamber of Commerce now refers to the area as "Seattle's hidden treasure." Indeed,
it features clean, quiet, bright streets, many without sidewalks.
Because Greenwood
is in such close proximity to and overlaps commercially with Phinney Ridge
the two neighborhoods often work in conjunction when planning community strategies
and events. Greenwood (and, consequently, Phinney Ridge) is known for its
hip arts and culture, pubs, cafes, antique stores, coffee shops, and art
galleries. This neighborhood is a tight community, which is more and more
becoming a destination in its own right.
Housing styles
here provide real diversity, from ramblers to old Tudors, to 1950's-style
split-levels, to small bungalows. Neighborhood pride is apparent in the colorful
and nicely kept yards.
