Seattle neighborhood
Lake City
Deep lots, roadhouse-scale storefronts, signs built to catch drivers at speed: Lake City Way NE carries the bones of a highway town, which is what this was before the city line moved north in 1954. The civic heart never shifted: the library, the community center, and Albert Davis Park cluster near NE 125th St, where the old town center stood.
