Neighborhood Description This is a very tight-knit community with strong ties to the University of Washington. You will find a wonderful mix of young children as well as elderly couples that have lived here for 40 years plus. For the younger families there are a number of baby sitting co-ops along with the just remodeled Montlake community center (3) blocks to the west and the new Montlake neighborhood library (3) blocks to the east. The Arboretum and Interlaken Park are both within (5) blocks and provide some of Seattle's best park experiences. In addition to the close proximity to the Arboretum and Interlaken Park, Montlake has easy access to downtown Seattle, the University of Washington and the eastside. I ride my bike to work on the Burke-Gilman trail - which is located just on the other side of the Montlake Bridge.
