Belltown Seattle WA

As the most densely populated neighborhood in Seattle, Belltown is graciously occupied by popular restaurants, boutiques, and nightclubs that attract people from all different areas. The neighborhood of Belltown is located on the city’s downtown waterfront on land that was artificially flattened from what used to be a steep hill. The area also now contains residential towers, warehouses, art galleries and is home to the Art Institute of Seattle, as well as a few other universities and colleges.

In 2007, CNNMoney named Belltown as the best place to retire in the Seattle area saying that it is a “walkable neighborhood with everything you need”. Previously home to Alaska Airline headquarters, Belltown is surrounded by Denny Way to the north, Elliot Bay to the southwest, and by 5th Avenue to the northeast. The neighborhood also features the Battery Street Tunnel that runs from Western Ave to Denny Way and connects Alaskan Airway Viaduct to Aurora Avenue. One other great component of the Belltown neighborhood is the Olympic Sculpture Park which is made up of 8.5 acres of contemporary pieces, various plants and ecosystems primitive to the Pacific Northwest. It is available to the public 365 days a year and opens 30 minutes before sunrise and closes 30 minutes after the sun sets.
