O Magnolia--the hood my husband and I called home more than 3 separate occasions between us.

A mix of old and new, from charmers to stunners, Tudors to mid-century modern and now the Glass House Movement.

Everyone walks the bluffs for killer views, sunrises and sunsets. With a cute little walking street village, there's rarely a reason to venture anywhere else,

but a 10-minute car ride will pop you downtown, or to Queen Anne or Ballard - and just 15 to Fremont including a bridge delay over the cut. -LS
