The Green Lake Neighborhood
Green Lake is bounded by Wallingford on the south, Greenwood/Phinney Ridge to our west, Licton Springs/Maple Leaf to our north, and Roosevelt to the east. The neighborhood is mostly single family units with apartments and multi-family housing in the residential urban village area at the east side of the neighborhood. The park/lake has no real entrance as you can enter anywhere around the park.
Green Lake’s Business Environment
The business district is located on the east side of the park. There are also businesses in the Aurora area, in the Meridian area, and near the wading pool. There are sports orientated shops like Gregg’s Greenlake Cycle, Road Runner Sports and Super Jock & Jill. You can shop for food at the Green Lake PCC and Green Lake / Aurora PCC, buy an ice cream at Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, located next to Zeek’s pizza across from the wading pool at Greenlake. There is a new Bartell’s Drugs in the Eddy Building on NE 71st Street. We have doctors, therapists, lawyers, and a really good vet. We have pharmacies, dry cleaners, and a nice neighborhood Bank (Key Bank) as well as a new Homestreet Bank. Our businesses reflect the wonderful diversity that is Green Lake.
Green Lake Has Something for Everyone
