Nestled between Green Lake and the University district, Wallingford is a charming neighborhood featuring many Craftsman style bungalows.

Intersecting both Wallingford and University District is 45th Avenue, famous for its sidewalk cafes, restaurants and eclectic shops. Like its neighbor Fremont, Wallingford is home to refurbished historic buildings, such as the old Interlake School, which now contains a tasteful assortment of stores and restaurants.

The 90-acre Woodland Park lies just north of Wallingford’s northern border, and comprises the well-known Woodland Park Zoo as well as a miniature golf range, a picnic area and trails.

Gas Works Park, in South Wallingford, overlooks Lake Union and offers the best views of the downtown city skyline. The 19-acre park is home to a former gas manufacturing plant that was closed down in 1956. The old compressor building and adjoining chimneys have been preserved as part of the recreational area. There is a children’s park area, as well as a kite-flying hill on site.
