Wallingford

East of Ballard and west of the University District, north of Lake Union and south of Greenlake lies Wallingford. The main retail strip, N 45th St, runs east/west and is what most folks think of when the think of the neighborhood. Bus route 44 runs along 45th and is really the window into the area. The 62 runs north/south but only really quickly cuts a couple of blocks along 45th. Even so, it shows off more of the residential parts of the neighborhood and may be more interesting for that reason. If you don’t have a car this would be a great neighborhood to relocate to, but there is a lower ratio of apartments to single-family homes here than in many other neighborhoods. Enjoy!
