Greenwood, Seattle, Washington
- Greenwood, Seattle, Washington
Greenwood is a neighborhood in north central Seattle, Washington, USA.
The generally accepted boundaries of Greenwood are Aurora Avenue N. (State Route 99) to the east, beyond which lies Licton Springs; N. 105th Street/Holman Road to the north, beyond which lie Broadview and Bitter Lake; 8th Avenue N.W. to the west, beyond which lies Crown Hill, and N. 80th Street to the south, beyond which lies Phinney Ridge. The boundary between Greenwood and Phinney Ridge is somewhat nebulous; the two neighborhoods do joint planning for events and share a Chamber of Commerce.
The primary north/south thoroughfare through Greenwood is Greenwood Avenue North. North 85th Street carries traffic east to Interstate 5 and west to Golden Gardens Park. Greenwood Avenue carried city streetcar and Seattle-Everett interurban passenger railroad traffic during the first half of the twentieth century.
Originally named Woodland, the neighborhood became Greenwood in 1907. The section of the neighborhood north of 85th street was not annexed to the city of Seattle until 1954; this later access to city services is still evident in the many streets without sidewalks in the northern section of the neighborhood.
Greenwood is served by the North Cluster of the Seattle School District. Primary schools in Greenwood include Greenwood Elementary and Bagley Elementary with several others in nearby neighborhoods. No high school is located within the North Cluster but Nathan Hale, Roosevelt, Ballard, and Ingraham are all nearby.
