Westlake is a small, urban neighborhood named for its location on the western shores of Lake Union. A sizeable houseboat community calls Westlake home in addition to numerous condos, apartments, single-family homes, and office buildings. Lake Union provides Westlake residents with a host of outdoor activities, from boating to scuba diving and everything in between.
While Westlake touts a metropolitan atmosphere, most of the area’s popular restaurants and shops are located in nearby Queen Anne, Fremont, South Lake Union, and Eastlake. Situated just two miles north of Downtown Seattle, Westlake offers residents easy commutes and quick access to big-city amenities.
