Spotlight Neighborhood: Queen Anne
The tree-lined streets of the Queen Anne neighborhood are rich in Seattle history. Queen Anne is known within the city for its’ expansive views of downtown Seattle and The Puget Sound, historic homes and landmarks, boutique shopping, eclectic eateries, and a family friendly quality of life. Not surprisingly, the spring and summer months in this wonderful neighborhood draw residents outdoors to participate in numerous community events.
This weekend, Val and I stepped out to attend the launching of Queen Anne’s annual farmers market. Although we were among the first to arrive, the atmosphere was vibrant! As we strolled between the various vendor tents, music played and the market came to life.
Though the variety of locally grown fruits and veggies offered at the market was a bit small – the quality was superb, and the selection is expected to increase into the summer months.
You can find a wide variety of online information on Queen Anne events here: Queen Anne Blog.
Once finished at the Farmers Market, Val and I wandered through "downtown" Queen Anne - exploring the different specialty shops. One of the shops we meandered into was the fabulous pet boutique Mes Amis - which features whimsical and fun pet accessories and custom bedding.
