This month's focus area.... Greenwood

Greenwood was just called "close-in, unpretentious, affordable" by the Seattle Times click here to read full article. Generally accepted boundaries are Aurora to the East, 105th/Holman to the North, 8th ave NW to the West, and N 80th to the South. The area north of 85th was not annexed into the city of Seattle until 1954, which is why you find many streets without sidewalks. Many locals are begining to campign to get sidewalks added to their community.
