| About Queen Anne Neighborhood Best known for its commanding view of downtown Seattle, the Queen Anne neighborhood is one of the city's more popular residential locations. Queen Anne hill, at the northern end of Seattle's city center, offers great views from an elevation of 456 feet. Queen Anne gets its name from the architectural style that was popular when Seattle's elite first made it their home. Many of these homes still remain and are mixed in with newer homes, apartments, and condominiums.
Lower Queen Anne is home to a lively commercial area and the Seattle Center. Trendy restrausts, bistros and upscale hotels can be found nearby along Queen Anne Avenue. Queen Anne's Kerry Park is also a popular destination that provides views of the Space Needle, and Mount Rainere on clear days. |
