Kinnear Park

Queen Anne is the highest hill in town with an elevation of more than 450 feet above the waters of Puget Sound. It is worth taking a drive around to see why housing prices are booming and rentals vacancies are low here. You will find a stylish combination of noteworthy architecture, water and city views, and lively shopping all in close proximity to downtown. Queen Anne has long been seen as a desirable place to live. Seattle's earliest pioneers began to subdivide the hill as early as 1884. Head up to the west side of the hill for viewpoints. The "downtown" area of Queen Anne is Queen Anne Avenue - which stretches with shops, restaurants and boutiques from Lower Queen Anne, near the Seattle Center and the Uptown Movie Theater, to the Top of the Hill, up the "Counter Balance" to Galer Street and across to McGraw Street.
