West Government Way, Magnolia

Along the north section of Magnolia, W. Government Way winds itself around quaint little houses and shops, and provides direct access into Discovery Park. Lined with trees, like most Magnolia streets, a few of these homes along the street have such dense foliage that they are afforded a degree of privacy - a treat for such a main thoroughfare. Partly divided by trees and flowers, the street gives a glimpse of the lush greenery you encounter when you enter the park.
Homes in the area tend to be lower than average for Magnolia, though the road changes names a few times, but provides a direct route to the "main" part of Seattle. Kids can be found riding their bikes to and from the park, and the bus line runs right down W. Government Way. The area is green and safe, a terrific place to raise a family.
