Seward Park

Seward Park’s main roads flow through the adjacent neighborhoods of Rainier Beach, Hillman City, and Columbia City. Of course, the neighborhood also adjoins the eponymous Seward Park. The park is a peninsula with panoramic views, a clay studio, an Audubon center, swimming areas, and boat launches. There is even a 2.5-mile bike/pedestrian loop that wraps around the wooded center of the park. The area adjacent to the park is entirely residential. Winding roads and cul-de-sacs are lined with single-family homes. To the west around Rainier Avenue, you’ll find shops and services. It’s also a quick drive to the historic Columbia City main street. This has made Seward Park a popular place for people seeking starter homes… but then they never want to leave! And visitors can see why—it’s easy to become attached to the beauty and community of the area.
