Northeast 80th St, Wedgeview Ridge

Wedgewood is a single family home, residential community. The area is close to the UW as well as the University Village Shopping Center. Due to the proximity to the college, you will see lots of students in the area. The neighborhood is well established and a bit sleepy but activity is located all around. Most of the homes in the area are older, Tudor or post-war modern that have been updated and renovated. Some homes are rentals and occasionally you may find a few college students shacking up together in one home.

Dahl Park is located nearby, along 25th Avenue NE, as well as the Burke-Gilman Trail. There are lots of outdoor activities in the neighborhood and this is a highly walkable area. 35th Avenue is located to the east which gets you anywhere you want to go. Once the commuters clear out in the morning, the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. In a way, Wedgewood reminds me of Ballard with its tree lined streets and quiet ambience.

Long-time residents who live in the area will tell you that it is highly middle class and family oriented. Some of the families who have lived here for decades still do. One of the most popular eateries in the area is the Wedgewood Broiler where they have been serving up steaks and prime ribs for a very long time.
