Riverview

Seattle's Delridge district, about 4.35 miles from downtown, in King County.

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

Average block length in Riverview comes to 561 ft, longer than in all 82 other Seattle neighborhoods I compared, and the intersection count of 50 per square mile is the lowest of that group. The average lot runs 8,145 sq ft, larger than 75% of the city, and 95.7% of the 1,594 homes are single-family. My records also show Delridge Wetland and Puget Boulevard inside the boundaries. Sidewalk coverage is an estimated 43.1%, which I flag as a trade-off.
