Queen Anne (Seattle, Washington)

Queen Anne Hill is a Seattle neighborhood. Although several neighborhoods in Seattle, Washington are of similar or higher elevations (e.g. Broadview, Maple Leaf, and Southwest Seattle), Queen Anne is the highest named hill in Seattle, with a maximum elevation of 456 feet (139 m) (although the highest point in the city is High Point in West Seattle, at 520 feet). Queen Anne is situated just north of Seattle Center and just south of Fremont across the Lake Washington Ship Canal. The hill early became a popular spot for the city's economic and cultural elite to build their mansions (the name derives from the architectural style, typical of many of the early homes).

  • I don't find Queen Anne exorbitantly vibrant. There aren't many boutique shops, either or great bars. It's rather homogeneous, too. Fremont is the "center of the universe" and the best neighborhood in Seattle.
  • A very affluent neighborhood, supposedly where the TV show "Fraiser" was set.
  • Probably one of the nicest neighborhoods in Seattle. Great restaruants and great area!!
  • Nice, but a little overrated. To many mom's with strollers and golden retrievers.
  • It's not what it was when I grew up there.
  • people like to come here and take pictures with the Space needle behind them
  • I remember QA When there was no traffic and you could park anywhere. Targy's, Skipper's, The "Blob" or "Lump", More than one gas station.It used to be a great place to live.
  • Home to Seattle Pacific University and a starbucks that never seems to get a caramel macchiato right.
  • Best place in to live in Seattle. Hands down. Great food, great location, lot's of activities and safe. I've live all over Seattle and would recommend QA over any other. I'm a 28 yr. active male for reference.
