 The Magnolia area of Seattle is mainly
residential. It lies on the west end
of a peninsula between Elliot
Bay and the Lake
Washington Ship Canal
northwest of downtown Seattle. Magnolia is known for its expensive homes
with panoramic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic
Mountains.
Magnolia is a town unto
itself because of its relative isolation.
There are areas of Magnolia that don’t have views and less expensive
housing exits giving the area some diversity.
There is a small commercial district at 32nd Ave. W and McGraw.
On the south side of the
peninsula piers 90 and 91 project into Elliott Bay,
there is a marina, and a couple of restaurants with
views out over the Bay.
There are also commercial
districts along the Lake
Washington Ship canal
on the north side of the peninsula. To
the east is a valley in which the BNSF railroad has a large switching
yard. The area in the valley is the Interbay neighborhood, named after the BNSF railroad
switch yard.
