Screen Shot 2016-05-19 at 8.05.56 PMSeattle Architecture Foundation is kicking off its summer series of Queen Anne walking tours this Saturday, May 21st. The walk runs (or walks, rather) from 10am to noon, and features a look at the architecture of Queen Anne.

From residential homes to historic apartments, with some repurposed buildings thrown in for variety, the tour should satisfy architecture buffs, visitors, and Queen Anne residents alike.

[Side note: if you like architecture, our Instagram feed is full of images like the ones in this post, plus gardens and hidden Queen Anne gems…]

The tour is $15 per person, with tickets available online. It starts at the old West Queen Anne Elementary School (now condos) at the corner of W Galer St & 6th Ave W.
