Whether a long-time Seattle resident or new to the area, it’s the diversity of Seattle neighborhoods that gives our city it’s energy and flair.
Magnolia
Located on a peninsula west of some of Seattle's busiest neighborhoods, Magnolia seems like a tranquil island in a big-city ocean. It retains a small-town atmosphere, despite being only minutes from the skyscrapers of downtown. The neighborhood is set off from the rest of the city by three bridges. The central shopping district is known as "Magnolia Village." Discovery Park, the city’s largest, boasts 534 acres that include seven miles of trails winding along a cliff and down to the beach.

Belltown
One of the city's hip neighborhoods at the north end of the downtown area. A mix of jazz, rock venues, restaurants, pool halls, cafes, and unique boutiques and thrift shops. You might notice the area is unusually flat for Seattle. It is situated upon what was once known as Denny Hill, which became more the aptly named Denny Regrade.

Fremont
Sometimes referred to as "The People's Republic of Fremont," and at one time a center of the counterculture, Fremont has somewhat gentrified in recent years. The neighborhood remains home to a controversial statue of Lenin. Take a peek under the Aurora Bridge for a sighting of the Troll. The Fremont Flea Market and Summer Solstice Parade are like no other events in town.
