About Greenwood
Something of a sleeper community, Greenwood is one of Seattle's most up-and-coming districts. While it has a substantial residential section, it also boasts art galleries, cafes, and antique shops that are perfect for an afternoon's browse. The narrow streets are quiet, but they serve as a refuge from Seattle proper, which is about 15 minutes away by car. Greenwood is also a terrific place to have a cup of joe at one of the local coffee houses or just to stroll the streets (which often don't have sidewalks) and admire the architecture, which dates from at least the '20s.
