About Queen Anne
Queen Anne is one of Seattle's most beloved and iconic neighborhoods, perched atop the highest hill in the city with sweeping panoramic views of the Space Needle, Elliott Bay, Lake Union, and the Olympic Mountains. Divided into Upper and Lower Queen Anne, the neighborhood offers two distinct personalities within a short walk of each other. Upper Queen Anne is a quiet, residential enclave with tree-lined streets, craftsman bungalows, and Victorian homes that attract families and long-term residents who value community and tranquility. Lower Queen Anne, often called Uptown, buzzes with energy near Seattle Center, home to the Space Needle, KeyArena (Climate Pledge Arena), McCaw Hall, and the Museum of Pop Culture. The neighborhood boasts some of Seattle's most charming independent shops, acclaimed restaurants, and neighborhood bars. Kerry Park on the south slope offers arguably the most photographed skyline view in the Pacific Northwest. Queen Anne Ave N serves as the commercial spine of Upper Queen Anne, lined with coffee shops, boutiques, and local eateries. Residents enjoy exceptional walkability, strong neighborhood identity, and a rare blend of urban access and residential calm. Its central location makes commuting throughout Seattle straightforward, cementing Queen Anne as one of the city's most desirable places to live.
