Seattle:
The metropolis of Seattle is a city characterized by more than 100 unique neighborhoods - each with a story to tell. Unmistakably Scandinavian, Ballard is a distinct community located along the Salmon Bay in northwest Seattle. Bounded by Northwest 110th Street, Salmon and Shilshole Bays, Third Avenue and Phinney Ridge, “Shingle Town USA” was the world’s top producer of wood singles. It was also a fishing town and on Salmon Bay, Alaska fishing trawlers remain a dominant presence. Today, Ballard boasts numerous attractions, such as the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, the Lake Washington Ship Canal, Shilshole Bay Marina, Golden Gardens Beach, the Nordic Heritage Museum and historic Ballard Avenue. The diverse Green Lake neighborhood is also located in north Seattle, bounded by Wallingford, Greenwood/Phinney Ridge, Licton Springs/Maple Leaf and Roosevelt. It is a destination spot for Seattle residents who like to run, bike, skate or walk on the newly reconstructed 2.8-mile path in Green Lake Park. The park also serves as a nature preserve. Green Lake schools serve students from throughout the city and the library is a regional resource. The beauty of the Greenwood neighborhood is in its contrasting character. It sits just north of Phinney Ridge and the Woodland Park Zoo and is a successful mix of young and old, traditional and modern. Greenwood is redefining itself as a destination for arts and antique lovers who patronize its growing arts culture and attend the annual Greenwood/Phinney Art Walk and the Greenwood Classic Car & Rod Show. The elegant Greenwood Elementary School, which serves nearly 300 students, is graced by broad oak trees and ivy, and is a fixture of the community. Greenwood, an idyllic community with quiet narrow streets, many without sidewalks, is located 15 minutes from downtown Seattle
