Northbound Border to Border, Part 4, August, 2024

This one continues north from Seattle’s southern edge to its northern one. We pick up where we left off, on the south side of the University Bridge and stay on Roosevelt Ave all the way to 95th. It is quite the straight-shot! We go through the university District, the Roosevelt District, and end up in Maple Leaf. Roosevelt is a busy retail strip until you get north of NE 75th or so and then it gets pretty residential. Enjoy this trip through on of Seattle’s main arterials!
