Seattle's Greenlake Neighborhood

Here's a beautiful photo of the Bathhouse Theater from across the lake on a clear, windless day.

Greenlake is a great neighborhood of modest bungalows and more substantial larger homes, including Queen Anne style, Craftsman bungalows and Tudors. It was established at the turn of the last century and has a strong community feeling, with strong real estate values even during down times. It's really a "Seattle Neighborhood".

The Greenlake area has some great coffee shops, Peets and Starbucks, and one can walk to Whole Foods. I like the restaurants on the North side, including Dukes and World Wraps.

I learned to sail on Greenlake and it's small so it warms up quickly in summer.
