 Our Bitter
Lake area is in the northwest corner
of the City of Seattle. It lies west of Interstate-5 about 5 miles
north of downtown Seattle.
The Bitter
Lake area northern
border is North 145th
Street and the city limits of Shoreline. This
area is bordered to the west by Puget Sound
and its eastern border is Interstate-5.
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad runs right along the Puget Sound in this area so there is very limited access
to the beach.

The
principal commercial areas are along Aurora Avenue (US-99 highlighted in

is west of and parallels I-5 and US-99.
Most of the establishments on Aurora
