Phinney Ridge

Phinney Ridge is a north central Seattle neighborhood found between Ballard and Green Lake. The neighborhood is named after Guy Phinney, a lumber mill owner, real estate developer and one of the area's earliest residents. Phinney installed a trolley line in the area, attracting new settlers and encouraging additional transportation lines. Woodland Park and Zoo are now located where Phinney's private estate once was. Phinney Ridge is bordered by N. 80th Street and Greenwood to the north, Fremont to the south, Highway 99/Aurora Ave. and Green Lake to the east, and 8th Ave. NW and Ballard to the west.
