Parks & Nature

An easy walk through the Tangletown neighborhood brings you to Green Lake, a lively park for activities of all sorts - walking, running, inline skating, skateboarding, slack-lining, frisbee, birdwatching (keep an eye out for great blue herons and bald eagles!), people watching. Not a bad place to catch Pokemons, either! :) The lake is surrounded by cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Unique park overlooking Lake Union with vast green lawns for frisbee and kite-flying, picnic tables and grills, walking paths and - prominently - the old rusty remains of a gas works. A superfund site never looked so good! Accessible to the Burke-Gilman trail, which will take you to Fremont to the west and the U-District to the east.

Sightseeing

Google Maps calls it "Meridian," but locals call it Tangletown, aptly-named because of the tangled streets. The north-south grid smashes into the Green Lake radial pattern, creating a neighborhood easy to get lost in. No worries, though, because it is a delightful area to explore classic working class Seattle bungalows, lovely gardens, and some great cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Arts & Culture

The lovely campus of the University of Washington is a great place to explore. Nice architecture, great libraries, vast lawns, excellent museums (see Burke Natural History Museum and Henry Art Gallery), and pleasant, car-free urban walking.

Tucked away in the Tangletown commercial district, Zoka is a not-so-secret meeting place with good coffee, tea, and light fare. A go-to spot for working and studying.

This restaurant and brewpub is an institution in north Seattle. The Latona was smoke-free long before it became law. Rotating taps of local and regional brews; a bias toward IPAs, and quite a good food menu. 21+ only.
