Named for its most notable feature, the Bitter Lake neighborhood in northwest Seattle played a prominent role in the city’s development in the mid-20th century.
The neighborhood was home to a 12-acre amusement park that opened in 1930. The park, known as Playland, featured the 1,200-foot canal of darkness called The Canals of Venice — as well as The Dipper, a 3,400-foot roller coaster — as key attractions. The park closed in 1961 amidst the rise of television and people’s generally decreased interest in amusement parks. As a fun fact (or excellent local trivia question), the Bitter Lake Community Center sits near the onetime site of the Dipper.
These days, Bitter Lake is a quiet neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Seattle. Because it is farther from the city, homes tend to sell for less than the median price for all of Seattle. Bitter Lake homes have a median list price of $528,000 but a median sale price of only $239,000, according to the last 90 days of sales data on Redfin.
The other homes are in the nearby neighborhood of Broadview. Due to the fact that Broadview’s west edge is on the Puget Sound, homes there are considerably more expensive. The median list price for Broadview homes is $850,000, while the median sale price is $596,000, according to the last 90 days of sales data on Redfin.
These homes range from $400,000 to $850,000. Scroll through the gallery above for a virtual tour, or see them in person this weekend. Then, see other recent real estate features below:
