Pictures of Eastlake

flickr - almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world - makes it really easy to find photos of particular subjects or of particular geographic areas. Every once in awhile, I'll look through all the photos tagged as "Eastlake" and "Seattle" (since there is more than one Eastlake around the world) and see how much I recognize. I've even found photos taken with me in them (usually as an innocent bystander).

Here's a link to pictures on flickr tagged with "Eastlake" and "Seattle". Do you see any photos of anything you recognize?

Welcome!

Welcome to the Eastlake Community Council blog. Our more traditional website (which admittedly is in need of an update) is located here. Some of our favorite other Seattle neighborhood blogs are the Miller Park Neighborhood blog and the Capitol Hill Seattle blog.

Eastlake is a relatively small neighborhood in Seattle, just north of the main downtown area, just west of I-5, and just east of Lake Union (East of the Lake, get it?). For more history and background about the neighborhood, please see our About Eastlake page on our website.

Here's a map showing the city of Seattle's semi-official boundaries of the neighborhood. If you'd like to explore more neighborhood maps this way, start here.

Here's a Google Maps link to the corner of Eastlake and Lynn, the main commercial intersection in the heart of the neighborhood.
