"So much to see, so much to do"
About half-way down the south side of Queen Anne hill, W. Galer St. runs east-west and offers residents of the area so much. Two blocks away from the Queen Anne Community Center at the top of the hill, it provides a terrific, large area with sports fields, indoor sports and games and plenty of room to run around for kids and adults.
Two blocks away on W. Galer St., itself, there are shops, specialty stores and some of Seattle's best diners and restaurants. A tree-covered staircase at the T of W. Galer and Queen Anne Ave. separates the businesses from the residences, schools and churches that make up the majority of Queen Anne hill. Houses on W. Galer are very expensive, and most sport a view of the Seattle skyline, which is why most people live on the hill. The street is broken up in several sections by dense trees, pathways and steep inclines. A mostly private and peaceful neighborhood, the residents of Queen Anne share a community mentality, though it's been diminishing over the past few years. Neighborhoods are friendly, and there is still a sense of community, especially in the shopping/business district at the top of Queen Anne Ave.

"Exquisite neighborhood with million dollar homes and views of the bay"
West Galer Street loops at both ends and runs into West Garfield to the west and Elliott Avenue West to the east. The highly residential street accomodates some million dollar plus homes and is a very pretty area. The street runs through the Magnolia and Southeast Seattle neighborhood and features homes built in the earlier 1900s. Some of the larger homes are actually estates and run close to three million dollars. Manicured yards, shrubs, and lots of old growth can be found here. The sidewalks are kept spotless and for the most part, gardeners and hired hands are seen in the yards doing their thing. The street is popular for its views, especially for those homes at the west end of the Galer. There are some spectacular views of the Sound, the mountains, and even the city on Galer Street. The Bay can also be seen from most of the homes on the western end of the street. Such a pretty place to live.
