Queen Anne is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Seattle, and many of the city’s founding figures called it home, including George Kinnear, Thomas Mercer, and members of the Arthur A. Denny Party. Queen Anne is known for its magnificent views and rolling hills and has continued to attract those in search of a place to see the city. Crowds can usually be found gathering at Kerry Park, a favorite Queen Anne lookout with views of the Seattle skyline and Elliott Bay. There are several historic landmarks on Queen Anne, including the Queen Anne High School, and over 121 secret stairways found throughout the neighborhood’s many slopes. Property values have soared in recent years as Queen Anne is so convenient to all Seattle has to offer.
