There are many grocery stores minutes away in Upper Queen Anne, Lower Queen Anne, and in Interbay. My favorite grocery store in the area is the Metropolitan Market in Lower Queen Anne.
The Uptown neighborhood is also a major cultural hub featuring the new Climate Pledge arena, the Opera, the Ballet, and all of the theaters in and around the Space Needle.
