The Seattle Architecture Foundation runs tours of Seattle, usually limited to the downtown area. However, this year SAF has also added neighborhood tours, including Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, and the Pike/Pine corridor.

On Saturday, May 18th, the Seattle Architecture Foundation will kick off the first tour of our neighborhood – Queen Anne Tour: The Evolution of an Urban Neighborhood. Additional tours will be held on June 15th, July 20th, August 17th, September 21st, and October 19th.

The description from SAF is as follows:

“Take a trip through history in one of Seattle’s most treasured urban neighborhoods. From Queen Anne Style homes to Modern, this vibrant hilltop neighborhood has it all, and is in a constant state of evolution as new residents call this community home. On this tour you’ll visit Queen Anne’s Landmark residences, apartments and repurposed buildings. You’ll also experience expansive views, pass by quiet corners, discover hidden estates, and observe sensitive restorations.”

The tour begins at West Queen Anne Elementary School at 1401 5th Ave W (at the intersection with Galer). Advance registration is strongly encouraged; walk-ups are as space allows, with an additional $10 fee.

Advance tickets are $15 for non-SAF members, $10 for SAF members, and are available via Brown Paper Tickets. If you’re interested in multiple SAF tours, check out their web site, where they have a 3 for $30 deal through April 8th.
