Phinney Ridge, Seattle WA
Phinney Ridge
People who live in Phinney Ridge are sometimes kept awake by wolves howling at a full moon or monkeys hooting and yelping at the Woodland Park Zoo. The noises are so loud, they've been heard as far away as Queen Anne Hill. The neighborhood is named for Guy Phinney, a Brit from Nova Scotia who invested $40,000 in 1889 in an estate he called Woodland Park. He added ball fields and paths that dropped down the hill to Green Lake.
Despite the zoo traffic, many Phinney Ridge homes are on steep and winding side lanes that are quiet enough to allow children to shoot hoops in the street. The neighborhood is known as one of those places where everyone knows your name. It shares a shopping district with nearby Greenwood.
A Phinney Ridge home generally falls within an area bounded on the north by North 80th Street, the west by Eighth Avenue Northwest and Third Avenue Northwest, the south by North 50th Street and the east by Aurora Avenue North. The neighborhood is bounded by Fremont on the south, Greenwood to the north, Ballard to the West and Green Lake to the east. Please call me to tour Phinney Ridge homes for sale.
