North Delridge

Seattle's Delridge district, about 3.45 miles from downtown, in King County.

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

Camp Long, Cottage Grove Park and Delridge Playfield all sit inside North Delridge, and that was the part of the records I kept returning to. The median year built is 1989, newer than 80% of Seattle neighborhoods, and the housing mix has 34.6% townhouses beside 58.0% single-family homes. My count of lots came out small, averaging 4,132 sq ft, and sidewalk coverage is an estimated 57.2%.
