If you walk there from the station, make sure to take advantage of the green street between NE Ravenna Way’s east- and westbound lanes. Green Lake Park – Arguably Seattle’s signature park, Green Lake is a brisk walk away from Northgate station, quick bus transfer from Roosevelt Station, or fast bike ride with excellent lanes - the City recently completed a two-lane protected bike lane on the road ringing the eastern half of the lake.
There’s also some retail, including quirky mom and pop establishments, in the area. Direct bus transfers also allow for light rail riders access to other major parks. Next door are the Green Lake and Ravenna neighborhoods and their namesake parks provide two vastly different and excellent park experiences in Seattle. Nearby neighborhoods provide amenities that will make Roosevelt Station a destination for park-goers. Plus if you want to start a band, it might be the only neighborhood in the city with multiple musical instrument and sound equipment stores located a stone’s throw away from each other. After a nice jaunt, the area also presents lots of food options too.
The Roosevelt station area has easy access to some of North Seattle’s best parks. If you’re expecting to be one of those new riders or an preexisting one, there’s good reason to stop at the new Roosevelt Station. With the Northgate link light rail extension coming online, tens of thousands of additional daily riders are estimated to use the region’s light rail system.
