- Seattle Landmarks: Queen Anne Drive Bridge (1936) (historylink.org)
The bridge across Wolf Creek, on the north side of Queen Anne Hill, is of the steel arch type, 238 feet long. The parabolic two-hinged arch is unusually high and it has a minimum of supporting members. “The simple concrete forms are embellished by regularly spaced groups of rectangular indentations and by tulip-shaped ornamental lighting fixtures mounted on projecting pier headings” (Kreisman).

The North Queen Anne Drive Bridge is a deck arch bridge that spans Seattle’s Wolf Creek. The 238 ft (73 m) long steel and concrete structure was built in 1936 to replace the previous wood-constructed crossing. It serves as a connection between the Queen Anne neighborhood and the George Washington Memorial Bridge that carries State Route 99. The arch is unusually high and uses a minimal number of supporting members. It was designated a city landmark on December 28, 1981, because of its unique engineering style.
