Area - Ravenna Ravenna is in northeast Seattle just north of the University District. You’ll find the Ravenna district east of Interstate-5 Exit 171. Head east then turn right onto Roosevelt Avenue NE.

Ravenna is a quiet down-to-earth neighborhood within the Seattle city limits. Beautifully maintained yards and tree-lined streets give a classic feel to the area that is mostly filled with modest single-family homes.

Ravenna’s a place where family can come first. This is evident in the few family restaurants, unique shops and family-owned businesses within the Ravenna neighborhood. There are no major attractions or quirky artifacts in Ravenna, but there are some beautiful parks great for outdoor recreation.

The map to the left of Seattle shows the location of the Ravenna neighborhood in red. Downtown Seattle is to the right of the “Elliot Bay” letters.

On this website we define Ravenna as the area east of I-5 and west of 35^th Avenue NE. Also NE 85^th street is its northern boundary and NE 50^th Street is its southern boundary. Just south of Ravenna is the University District, University Village and Husky Stadium. The Northgate neighborhood is to the north at Northeast 85^th street and includes Northgate Mall.
