Lake Washington Boulevard (Seattle) (historylink.org) Lake Washington Boulevard is a Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation property that extends from the Montlake neighborhood to Seward Park, on or near the shore of Lake Washington. John Charles Olmsted (1852-1920) located it in his 1903 plan for Seattle’s park and boulevard system to take advantage of Seattle’s landscape, including the lake, forested parks, and views across the lake and of distant mountains.

Lake Washington Boulevard crosses or borders a number of Seattle neighborhoods from Montlake (in the north) to Seward Park (in the south). Neighborhoods were identified through examination on Google and Bing Maps, which can highlight the boundaries of many neighborhoods. However, note that neighborhood boundaries are loosely defined and often overlap.

“Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Matthew 5:25 NIV
