About this map

Lake Forest Park and the northern reaches of Seattle are captured in this 2014 survey, highlighting the complex urban infrastructure connecting the Puget Sound area to Lake Washington. The map details the dense neighborhoods of Shoreline, Northgate, and Greenwood, while illustrating the vital role of the Lake Washington Ship Canal in linking Portage Bay and Lake Union. Educational and cultural landmarks are prominent, including the sprawling University of Washington-Seattle Campus, the Woodland Park Zoo, and several maritime hubs like the Nautical Landing Marina and Seattle Boat Company Marina.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites such as Washelli Cem, Acacia Memorial Park, and Lake View Cem. The transit-oriented nature of the region is evident in the numerous park-and-ride facilities, like the North Seattle Park and Ride, and the prominent crossing of the George Washington Memorial Bridge. From the quiet residential enclaves of The Highlands to the bustling corridors of Aurora Ave N, this sheet documents a fully matured metropolitan landscape at the start of the 21st century.
