North Queen Anne

Seattle's Queen Anne district, about 3.04 miles from downtown, in King County.

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

Of the 82 other Seattle neighborhoods I compared, North Queen Anne has a median build year of 1990, which is newer than 80% of them. In my notes, the street grid stands out too: 209 intersections per square mile, more than 75% of the city, and 84 transit stops within a quarter mile. David Rodgers Park and Mayfair Park are among the green spaces I mapped. Sidewalk coverage is an estimated 69.1%, lower than 60% of the city, and lots average 4,908 sq ft.
