Crown Hill

Seattle's Northwest district, about 6.38 miles from downtown, in King County.

Researched and written by Ryan Rose · Updated October 29, 2026

Crown Hill Glen is one of the parks I found inside Crown Hill's 362 acres, alongside Crown Hill Park. My records show 2,842 homes with a median build year of 1951, and 71.6% are single-family while 22.1% are townhouses. Average lots run 5,439 sq ft. Sidewalk coverage is an estimated 31.6%, lower than 85% of Seattle neighborhoods.
