Magnolia Seattle Washington
Sweeping views, island like
tranquility
Along West McGraw Street, the
Magnolia village shopping district
is home to a nice selection of
stores and houses restaurants.
Fisherman's Terminal, across from
Ballard on Salmon Bay, is another
fun place to eat and shop while
watching boats pull into the docks.
Built in 1911, the terminal is home
to the Alaskan fishing fleet, and is
viewed as entering Magnolia Seattle
Washington.
It's also a microcosm of the changes
happening throughout Seattle, its
real estate and water ways. In 2002,
the Magnolia Seattle terminal
decided to let yachts and other
pleasure boats moor there. Fishermen
protested, fearing they'd be priced
out of their longtime home.
Magnolia Seattle Washington is also
home to some of the city's most
spectacular parks. Discovery Park,
on the neighborhood's northwest
side, encompasses 534 acres and is
the city's largest park. The park
houses eagles, herons, falcons,
foxes and beavers mingle with
joggers and picnickers. Seven miles
of trails provide visitors with a
wilderness experience and serene
views of Puget Sound and the Olympic
Mountains.
Adjacent to Discovery Park is West
Point Lighthouse. It was built in
1881 and is home to the oldest
lighthouse in the Puget Sound area.
On the south end of Magnolia Seattle
Washington lies Magnolia Park, which
overlooks Mount Rainier and the city
skyline. The park provides a picnic
area and tennis courts across the
street.
