Uptown, formerly known as Lower Queen Anne, is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. Uptown is one of the most active neighborhoods in Seattle. Known for historic architecture, this urban hub is home to high-tech companies like Amazon, along with some of Seattle’s biggest landmarks and attractions including the iconic Space Needle, the Museum of Pop Culture, the Pacific Science Center, and so much more. Although the neighborhood hosts many tourist attractions, authentic neighborhood charm and quirky treasures can be found quite easily as well. Enjoy a meal at one of the neighborhood’s many local restaurants or soak in sun at Centennial Park, a sprawling waterfront greenspace. Uptown is perfect for true urbanites, offering mid-range to upscale apartments and condos. You will never be bored in this dynamic district, but if you’ll looking for more to do, simply travel over to Downtown Seattle which borders Uptown.
