Midvale Ave North, Wallingford

Overall Green Lake is a great place to live, visit, walk, jog, shop, etc. This place has it all and Green Lake Way N is one of the main thoroughfares through the neighborhood. The street itself can get very busy, especially on those warm sunny days in Seattle that are so rare. A walking path along the side of Green Lake Way N is perfect for an afternoon jog or early morning stroll with the dog. On warmer days in the summer you may have to battle the roller bladers but overall the people are pretty friendly and accomodating, partly because it is warm and sunny! Let's face it, even us Seattlites need to see the sun now and again!

The views are great of the mountains and water when strolling by on the walking trail or even on the street while cruising through. This is a great drive.

Many newer town homes, some duplexes and single family homes. Some on street parking. Street ends at the large Woodland Park where there are many bike paths and of course there is the woodland zoo, a great zoo with lots of animals. Streets are clean but there are some patched cracks. The sidewalks are okay.

The street is for traffic only but the adjacent walking and jogging path around Green Lake is where the action is. People are friendly and walkers and roller blade fanatics coexist comfortably. Dogs are on leashes and at most any point along the 2 plus mile trip you can sit on a bench or lie on the lawn and people watch to your hearts content. THere is shopping and dining near the east side of the Lake. Parking is generally available but can be at a premium on a warm summer afternoon.
