Editorial Overview

About Green Lake

Green Lake is a freshwater lake in north central Seattle, within Green Lake Park. Its basin was carved 50,000 years ago by the Vashon glacier, which also shaped other local lakes. The park is bordered by the Green Lake, Wallingford, Phinney Ridge neighborhoods, and Woodland Park to the southwest. Visitors can enjoy the lake and surrounding park for outdoor activities like walking, jogging, or relaxing by the water. The scenic setting provides a natural escape within the city, with easy access from nearby neighborhoods and green spaces.
