Residents enjoy access to an array of restaurants, shops, markets, and gyms strewn along Aurora Avenue, the neighborhood’s main commercial thoroughfare. Additional shopping and dining options abound at the nearby Northgate Mall. North Seattle College lies just southeast of the neighborhood, making Bitter Lake a convenient choice for many students, faculty, and staff.
