East Green Lake Dr North, Green Lake

I love this area of Seattle. There are a lot of residential portions to East Green Lake Dr. but further north there are a number of trendy coffee shops and eateries. The view of the water is beautiful and the scenery is never dull. The street does get crowded during the warm summer months or on the occasional sunny weekend. Don't expect to cruise though at a high rate of speed. Plan on taking your time and stopping for traffic. As far as the residential areas along East Green Lake Drive, the neighborhood is probably one of the safest in Seattle. You will see lots of moms pushing strollers and dogs being walked. Watch for kids playing on the sidewalk in the residential areas.

The north end of Green Lake is a trendy upscale place to see and be seen. With bars, coffee shops, boutiques and fine dining Green Lake Drive has something for everyone, day and night. The grassy park on the lake side of the road is a nice place for a game of catch or sun bathing. Crowded in the summer time with cruisers, cyclists and joggers, Green Lake Drive is just a great place to be.
