WHAT TO EXPECT

Like most neighborhoods, Columbia City has a mix of homes: there’s lots of new construction, modern townhomes, and a few great new construction developments underway. Townhomes are typically amazing and styled, and there are plenty of mid-century modern homes, mid-century homes, turn of the century homes, and craftsmans.

Columbia City experienced most of its initial development in the mid-1900s. Anything east of Rainier is most likely to be turn of the century or modern, while anything far east is likely to be mid-century.

GETTING OUT & ABOUT

There are many things that local residents especially love about Columbia City: there’s a butcher and a bakery right next to each other, people love meeting up at Columbia City Ale House, and Geraldine’s Counter offers one of the best breakfasts in Seattle.

Columbia City is also home to some beautiful parks, including Genesee Park that stretches from Rainier to 46th. You could walk in a park all the way from Rainier to Washington and not step on a street. If you have a dog or enjoy running, you even run along Lake Washington all the way to Capitol Hill!
