Howe St, East Queen Anne

My mother grew up on Howe Street, when Queen Anne was still an affordable neighborhood. As far as we can tell, the only thing that's changed is that lots of people have noticed how great a place it is to live and raise a family.

The houses all are well-maintained, and the owners take excellent care of their yards and gardens. Walking on a Saturday afternoon, you meet the neighbors walking their dogs or taking their kids to the park. There aren't views from the houses themselves, but come on, this is Queen Anne and some of the best views in Seattle are ten minute's walk away!

You're far enough from Queen Anne Ave that you don't get the road noise or the late night activity. But you're close enough that you can have a great night out at a moment's notice.

It's too bad we can't all live on Howe St!
