West Emerson St, Interbay

W. Emerson St. winds around the northwest section of Queen Anne hill and provides one of the three access points to Magnolia. The homes are very nice, and surprisingly affordable for the area, though there can be a high turnover rate in residency. The trees provide nice shade and a feeling of seclusion. Traffic isn't bad, since Nickerson, which parallels the street, provides more of a thoroughfare to commuters. The best part about W. Emerson St. is it's access to Fisherman's Terminal just before crossing the bridge to Magnolia. Local and Alaskan fishermen sell their day's catches straight off of the pier, often much cheaper than you can get in a store or at the market downtown.
While the neighborhood is quiet, residents generally keep to themselves. You need to be aggressive if you want to make friends with your neighbors, though they are pleasant.

West Emerson Street is serene in both appearance and noise level. The street borders Discovery Park and is absolutely beautiful, especially if you are tired of looking and hearing lots of downtown traffic. Some homes line the street and offer great views of the park. While driving W Emerston Street, be sure to enjoy the views of the mountains, glimpses of the ocean, and of course the park. Pull over and take a walk in the park on one of the many walking trails or just sit down for a picnic and enjoy the peace and quiet.

I think it looks very quiet and I like that it's right on the water.

West Emerson Street in Seattle borders the 534 acre discovery park, which is where the old Fort Lawton is located. It has a lovely light house and a view of the ocean as well as excellent views of nearby mountains, when it is not too foggy to see them. There are also some residential areas on the street which is very nice because the houses are close to the park, so it is like having a super huge back yard.
