Wedgwood

Named after the English fine china, Wedgwood is a quiet residential neighborhood nestled six miles northeast of downtown Seattle. Wedgwood is bordered by NE 95th Street to the north, 45th Ave NE to the east, NE 75th St and the Ravenna neighborhood to the south, and the Maple Leaf neighborhood to the west. The neighborhood was rapidly developed during World War II, when 500 Cape Cod-style houses were built on 40 acres for defense workers. Years later, Seattle's first P-Patch was developed, a peat bog was transformed into Dahl Playfield, and a small commercial district was established. Wedgwood is also home to University Prep School, All That Dance dance studio, Temple Beth Am Reform Synagogue, Top Pot Doughnuts, Grateful Bread Bakery, and numerous coffee shops, restaurants, and bars.
