Densmore Ave North, Fremont

Densmore does the job a residential street should do: it holds up good, solid houses, and connects you to arterials without getting clogged up itself.

Other parallel streets, from Greenwood to Wallingford to Fremont, take more of the glory, but also more of the traffic and noise. Densmore keeps a discreet distance and maintains enough quiet to allow kids to play in the yard and street while also allowing adults to get to and from their destinations easily.

Densmore is one of the unsung heroes of North Seattle.
