You’ll be staying right in the middle of one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Seattle: Wallingford. A walking paradise, with a walk score of 85 and a bike score of 95! There’s a grocery just two blocks away. Within a 5-10 minute walk, you’ll find 3 pharmacies, 4 coffee shops, and more than 15 restaurants, bars, and dessert shops. Wallingford is also fantastically connected to public transit with bus stops 2 blocks away that can whisk you downtown or to the light rail for easy airport access.

Wallingford sits in the heart of Seattle, surrounded by some of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Just minutes from Fremont’s quirky shops and waterfront, Green Lake’s walking trails and parks, and the University District’s cafés and energy, it’s perfectly placed for exploring. Downtown Seattle and Ballard’s restaurants and breweries are both a quick drive or easy bus ride away.

Your hosts live upstairs. We have been in Seattle for over 15 years and can provide all of the local tips and recommendations you might need.

The house is situated on a safe and quiet street where parking is always plentiful. Walk down the short driveway ramp to the entrance and enjoy key-free access via the pinpad mounted on the door.
