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

Within Seattle, Denny Triangle sits about 0.57 miles from downtown, and my records count 122 transit stops within a quarter mile. I found 37 restaurants and 19 cafes inside its 117 acres, along with Urban Triangle Park and Westlake Square. Blocks average 275 ft, and I estimate sidewalk coverage at 80.7%. The housing is 64.5% apartment and 25.8% condominium, with a median build year of 2004.

I pulled these from the census tract that covers this neighborhood, so they describe the tract, not the neighborhood itself. I report housing and housing cost only.
