7th Ave West, West Queen Anne

Queen Anne has much to offer residents and visitors in the way of dining, shopping, food markets, parks, recreation centers, schools, pubs, playgrounds and incredible views. Most of the streets in the southwest corner of Queen Anne are rough, narrow and are typically clogged with on-street parking. 7th Ave. West is a bit wider, making it easier to navigate and get around, though public transportation is plentiful enough that you can relax on your way to the city during your commute. Starting just north of the expansive, gorgeous mansions that Queen Anne is famous for, the homes along 7th Ave. West are nice, modest single-family homes, some with views, most without. The street turns into a main arterial north of McGraw street all the way to the cemetary on the north face of th hill. There are some little restaurants and shops, like the Macirina Bakery and the Fountainhead Gallery that provide some entertainment for residents. Coe Elementary School and Childcare Center are just over the hill on the north side, giving local kids a large playground and sports courts and fields to play in.
