Wallingford Seattle WA Bus Routes: Wallingford is already one of Seattle's most walkable neighborhoods. Maybe that is why the founder of Walk Score (a national website that measures the walkability of your neighborhood) lives right here in Wallingford! I mean this neighborhood really does have easy access to everything. On top of that, you can find major bus routes along at least 40th, 45th, and Stone with covered ones on both sides at Stone and 40th on Stone and also at 45th and Wallingford on 45th - also on both sides.

(I need to ad my personal note here: I think that they should add at least a covered bus stop or two on 40th in Wallingford as well - this is Seattle, people!)

Wallingford Neighborhood of Seattle:

Wallingford is one of my top five Seattle favorite neighborhoods! It has a unique mix of being completely urban and residential at the same time. Situated just North of Lake Union in the heart of Seattle, this area has a long history of being a working neighborhood. It is a true paradise for someone looking for the ability to live in a nice home with easy accessibility to work. Much like some of my other favorite neighborhoods, Wallingford is self-sustaining. You could literally live here and never have to leave while having all your needs met.

Seattle houseboats: Got storage? On a recent tour through some of the Seattle floating homes in Eastlake, I decided to take a picture of one of the creative storage solutions. Seattle houseboaters are creative by nature - I have seen cute little vegetable gardens in old floating dingies and tires, but storage is always a problem living in tight quarters.

Seattle floating homes storage issues...

Imagine just painting a room and having a few inches of paint left in the can. Most of us would throw it in the garage for touch ups, but storage is a true premium in the Seattle houseboats community. One well loved houseboater, Terry Pettis is remembered for his statement about having to get rid of an old pair of shoes when you got a new pair.

Because storage is at a premium in Seattle's floating home community, I thought it would be cool to show you one of the solutions that a Seattle houseboat owner came up with. See the wood stairs? Look pretty normal, right? But do you see the tiny little hinges?

Look closely....

See them?

Smart Houseboat! Okay, so let's see how this works... hmmm... Very cool. The stairs are the garage. All the things I would think of to store in the garage - tools, etc. are in the stairs! Each individual stair opens up to reveal a compartment for storage.

This is just another ingenius find in the Seattle floating home community. If you have a storage secret from your floating home, I would love to see it!

Another reason to love this ultimate Seattle waterfront homes living situation!!!!

Lake Union Waterfront: Lynn Street Park in Eastlake Seattle WA

Seattle has a lot of parks and the Eastlake neighborhood is no exception. The Eastlake Community has been really great about setting aside open space for the public - even if in tiny spots so that everyone who loves this neighborhood can enjoy Lake Union.

Lake Union Waterfront: Lynn Street Park is no exception and a wonderful spot to rest and watch the lake go by. It is located at the base of Lynn Street at the intersection of Fairview and Lynn right in the heart of the Seattle floating homes community. There is a nice artsy feel to this one and a great little rough boat launch for your kayak. It is pretty much across the street (kitty corner) from Pete's which is arguable the best wine shop in Seattle and a favorite grocery for locals. Come down and take a peek at this great spot - stop in to Pete's for a sandwich and enjoy the shores of Lake Union in the Eastlake portion of town!

***I took these pictures on a wintery day last year - everything was so blue!

Wallingford Center is a great community gathering place in this Seattle WA neighborhood - with the bottom two floors full of retail and bites to eat like Trophy Cupcakes plus a third level filled with studios this place is one of the reasons why Wallingford real estate is so great!

Wallingford personal favorites: My personal favorites include Lil Klippers where two of my children got their first haircuts.

Great Wallingford Location: The Wallingford Center is located on the corner of the busy 45th and Wallingford Ave N intersection in the heart of Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood - right across form the QFC being remodeled and Bartell's. There are covered bus stops out front on 45th on both sides of the streets and the Walk Score around here is perfect in most cases (see my perfect 100 Walk Score post here).

Historic Wallingford: The Wallingford Center was built in 1904 as Interlake Elementary School, but demographics shut it down and it remained vacant for years before being refurbished into the current neighborhood gem that it is.
