5th Ave North, East Queen Anne

5th Ave. N. runs from the north end of downtown to the top of Queen Anne hill. The south end of the street has plenty of food and shopping establishments with some new shops added in the past couple of years. One of the main entrances to Seattle Center is located on 5th Ave. N. with ample parking lots on the east side of the street. The Seattle Monorail runs over the west side. There are a couple of nightclubs in the area and quick access to Broad and Mercer for people heading to I-5. As you near Queen Anne hill, the trees are more abundant and the homes and apartment buildings are fairly well kept. Traffic becomes almost non-existent past Roy St. and a few blocks later, you can stop to enjoy Bye Kracke Park. The nieghbors are friendly, though not overly outgoing.
