Which Neighborhoods in Seattle Have the Most Unique Mid-Century Homes?

Here are the neighborhoods in Seattle where you’ll find this type of home:

South Seattle

Lakeridge is south of Seward Park and has lovely Lake Washington views. Seward Park is my own neighborhood, and of course, it’s my #1 favorite neighborhood to find mid-century homes. This neighborhood’s most famous home is the Dowell Residence, designed by Paul Kirk in 1953. It is an iconic example of Northwest Asian-inspired mid-century modern architecture and design.
