West Harrison St, Lower Queen Anne

W. Harrison Street has the feel of a small town, not far from a big city. For the Queen Anne area, it's a little busier than the residential areas on the hill, but it has quite a bit to offer. Ending at Elliott Ave on the water and Seattle Center to the east, this tiny 5 1/2 block street has some remnants of Seattle small business, cool apartment buildings and convenient access to the city, the waterfront and the events at Seattle Center. And a neighborhood wouldn't be complete without a Tully's and Starbucks battling it out within a couple of blocks from each other. Like most Seattle streets, the city tends trees and flowers planted in the public areas, giving Seattle its 'nature feel' even when in the heart of downtown. Public transportation is plentiful in this area, so residents and tourists don't have to battle the city traffic and expensive parking, though there is on-street parking in this area.

On the W Harrison street, you can find some most famous landmarks of the city of Seattle, from Key Arena, Seattle Center, and the football court. Another wonderful thing on this street that used to astonish me are the purple trees. I guess they are called Jacaranda or something that are originally from the tropic area. But here, you can find them on the both sides. That was one of the most amazing scenes of Seattle for me, thanks to the warm climate there. Also there are some apartments there with a really nice life environment. Good place to live.
