About Bitter Lake

Bitter Lake is a far-north Seattle neighborhood wrapped around a small natural lake just east of Greenwood. The residential streets are quiet and family-oriented, with the lake itself providing a small park and community gathering point.

Housing skews to 1940s–1960s single-family homes on flat lots, with some recent townhome development along Aurora and Linden Avenues. Buyers come for relative affordability compared to nearby Greenwood and Phinney Ridge while staying inside Seattle limits.
