Eastlake Ave East, Eastlake

Eastlake Avenue East is a few blocks from Interstate 5 and because of the location makes it quite a busy street. Lots of businesses and restaurants can be found in the area. The street is noisy and there are a number of buses that travel Eastlake Ave. There is a really great breakfast place that can be found around the 2000 block of Eastlake Avenue E and is called 14 Carrot Cafe. The place is very popular with the locals and always packed on the weekends for breakfast or brunch. Seattle has some of the best breakfast joints in the country! This is certainly one of them.

Eastlake Avenue has a nice collection of retail and restaurants along this arterial corridor that is between Lake Union to the west and Interstate 5 above to the east. Because of the right-of-way, runners often run along this street because there is minimal stopping between the southern tip of Lake Union and the University Bridge to the North. This area also has relatively affordable housing too. The downside of Eastlake Avenue is the large volume of buses which use it, which can make it a bit noisy and some air pollution.
