Wedgwood is one of Seattle's quieter residential neighbourhoods, but its dining scene delivers beyond expectations for special occasion meals, with American restaurants that lean towards the higher end of the price range. The stretch along 35th Avenue NE is worth seeking out if you're planning a proper sit-down dinner rather than a quick bite. It's the kind of neighbourhood where you book ahead and take your time.
Suburban-urban corridor with big-box retail and service businesses; local traffic more than destination nightlife.
