Wag! Walkers know North Beach
Originally developed by the Boeing family, this neighborhood is still an affluent neighborhood nestled between two public beaches on
the Puget Sound. The character of this neighborhood makes it a very quiet community
with private beaches and nothing but residential housing.
Stunning views and
quiet streets more than make up for the fact that you will have to drive for
anything you might need. Just outside the neighborhood along Holman Road, you will
find a variety of pet stores, grooming shops, and veterinarians. You can also find food and shopping in the
same areas for yourself.
The weather in Seattle makes walking idyllic for the
vast majority of the year. Seattle is known for its rain, but it's not as frequent as one might think. It is quite easy to dash in
between showers during even the rainiest parts of the year. Rain is the only real weather issue you will have to deal with as a
walker.
What is the terrain like in North Beach?
North Beach definitely has a lot of hills, so if you are not
an experienced walker or you and your pup are not up for that sort of a
challenge, you could find walking within the actual neighborhood difficult.
Short trips through the neighborhood without a lot of challenging hills is possible by walking the north to south roads as much as possible. While they are not
without hills, most of the elevation changes are from the water to inland and
can be minimized with the right walking route.
There are other options in the
form of nearby trails in other neighborhoods that you can use for walking if
you are just not up for the challenge. The neighborhood
also does not have any sidewalks and some of the roads lack even a walkable
shoulder. While this is a
residential area only, it still pays to be cautious as you move through this
neighborhood.
How many greenways are there in North Beach?
North Beach has a few different options for areas to take
your dog that are not pavement. The North Beach Park is in the south end of the
neighborhood and offers trails where you can walk with your pooch. The park is
actually a ravine, so while the natural setting is wonderful, you should keep in
mind that the terrain can be rough.
Also available is the Sound View Playfield which has a large area of open field
where your pup can feel the grass beneath their feet.
There are two private beaches that residents have access to as well: the North
Beach entrance and the Blue Ridge Beach Park.
In addition, this neighborhood is
sandwiched between two of the most popular beaches in the north end of Seattle. Both beaches have hiking available and Golden Gardens is where the Burke Gilman Trail starts which
can be a good alternative for those who do not feel comfortable walking the
open roads of North Beach.
