About this map

University of Washington anchors the central landscape of this northern urban corridor, situated between the waters of Union Bay and Portage Bay. The 2011 survey reveals a dense network of neighborhoods and academic institutions, including Seattle Pacific University and Bastyr University. A significant concentration of historical interment sites, such as Washelli Cemetery, Evergreen Park Cemetery, and Lake View Cemetery, provides a wealth of data for local history and genealogical research.

The area is defined by its complex maritime and transit infrastructure, including the Lake Washington Ship Canal and the George Washington Memorial Bridge. Specialized landmarks like the Lake Union Air Service Seaplane Base and the Lake Union Drydock highlight the region's enduring connection to aviation and maritime industry. From the Woodland Park Zoo to the residential streets of Lake City and Green Lake, the map documents the sophisticated late-twentieth-century development of the city's northern reaches.
