'''Queen Anne''' is a [[List of neighborhoods in Seattle|neighborhood]] in northwestern [[Seattle]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]]. Queen Anne covers an area of {{convert|7.3|km2|mi2|sp=us}}, and has a population of about 28,000.  It is bordered by [[Belltown, Seattle|Belltown]] to the south, [[Lake Union]] to the east, the [[Lake Washington Ship Canal]] to the north and [[Interbay, Seattle|Interbay]] to the west.

The neighborhood is built on a hill, now named '''Queen Anne Hill''', which became a popular spot for the city's early economic and cultural elite to build their mansions. Its name is derived from the [[Queen Anne style architecture in the United States|Queen Anne architectural style]] in which many of the early homes were built.

==Geography and history==

===Location and borders===
[[File:SeattleSkylineQA.jpg|thumb|left|Queen Anne Hill is to the left (northwest) of downtown [[Seattle]] skyline as viewed from [[Puget Sound]].]]
Queen Anne is bounded on the north by the [[Fremont Cut]] of the [[Lake Washington Ship Canal]], beyond which is [[Fremont, Seattle|Fremont]]; on the west by 15th and Elliott Avenues&nbsp;West, beyond which is [[Interbay, Seattle|Interbay]], [[Magnolia, Seattle|Magnolia]], and [[Elliott Bay]]; on the east by [[Lake Union]] and [[Washington State Route 99|Aurora Avenue North]], beyond which is [[Westlake, Seattle|Westlake]].  As a neighborhood [[toponym]], ''Queen Anne'' may include [[Lower Queen Anne, Seattle|Lower Queen Anne]], also known as ''Uptown'', the area at the southern base of the hill, just north and west of [[Seattle Center]].  Whether or not Lower Queen Anne is considered a separate neighborhood matters in setting Queen Anne's southern boundary, which is either West Mercer Street or Denny Way.<ref>[http://clerk.ci.seattle.wa.us/~public/nmaps/html/NN-1200S.htm Seattle City Clerk's Neighborhood Map Atlas – Queen Anne]. Retrieved March 6, 2011.</ref>

Queen Anne can be reached from [[Interstate 5 in Washington|Interstate 5]] via the Mercer Street Exit (Exit&nbsp;167). The neighborhood's main thoroughfares are Gilman Drive West, 3rd Avenue West, Queen Anne Avenue North, Boston Street, and a set of streets, collectively known as [[Queen Anne Boulevard]], that loop around the crown of the hill and reflect a comprehensive boulevard design in the style of the [[Olmsted Brothers]] architectural firm. The design was never fully executed, but it remains part of the Seattle Parks System.<ref>[http://www.seattle.gov/parks/parkspaces/QueenAnneBlvd.htm Queen Anne Boulevard]. [[Seattle Parks and Recreation]]. Retrieved March 5, 2011.</ref>

While Queen Anne stands out in Seattle geography due to its proximity to downtown and three television broadcast towers, the highest point in the city, {{convert|520|ft|m}} above sea level, is in [[West Seattle]]. Queen Anne slopes are home to seven of the twenty steepest streets in the city<ref>[http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/steepest.htm Highest Elevations in Seattle]. [[Seattle Department of Transportation]]. Retrieved March 5, 2011.</ref> and 120 pedestrian staircases.<ref>Dorpat, Paul.

===Significant events===
The Vashon [[Glacier]] carved Queen Anne Hill's [[topography]] more than 13,000 years ago, and human habitation in the area began some 3000 years ago.  When white settlers arrived in the mid-19th century, the [[Duwamish tribe]] maintained a seasonal presence in and around Queen Anne.<ref>Wilma, David. [http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=3414 Seattle Neighborhoods: Queen Anne Hill -- Thumbnail History]. [[HistoryLink]]. June 28, 2001.</ref>

[[File:Queen-anne-houses.jpg|thumb|left|Homes on the western slope of Queen Anne, highlighting the steep topography of the neighborhood.]]
White settlement of Queen Anne stemmed from the arrival of the [[Denny Party]] at [[West Seattle]]{{'}}s [[Alki Point, Seattle|Alki Point]] in November 1851.  In 1853, [[David Denny]] staked a claim to {{convert|320|acre|ha}} of land the Duwamish called ''baba'kwoh'', prairies, known today as Lower Queen Anne, and bounded by Elliott Bay to the west, Lake Union to the east, Mercer Street to the north, and Denny Way to the south.  Denny called the area "Potlach Meadows".  Development of the hill, called at various times North Seattle, Galer Hill, and Eden Hill, was slow.  Then an 1875 windstorm flattened thousands of trees on Queen Anne, making the previously dense forest more appealing for settlement.  The hill began to be called "Queen Anne" by 1885, after the [[Queen Anne style architecture in the United States|Queen Anne style]] houses that dominated the area.<ref>Hennes, John. ''[http://qahistory.org/qanames.htm Why Is Our Community Named Queen Anne?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081227004648/http://www.qahistory.org/qanames.htm |date=December 27, 2008 }}'' Queen Anne Historical Society, June 13, 2001.</ref>  The arrival of the [[Northern Pacific Railway]] (1883) and the [[Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway]] (1887), the [[Great Seattle Fire]] of 1889, and the opening of three [[Cable car (railway)|cable car]] lines to the top of the hill starting in 1890, including the [[Queen Anne Counterbalance]], further encouraged residential and business development.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

The 1917 opening of the [[Lake Washington Ship Canal]], and the [[Fremont Bridge (Seattle)|Fremont]] and [[Ballard Bridge]]s over it, made the area more appealing for maritime and timber industries, and connected Queen Anne with communities to the north.  On the south side of the hill, the 1927 completion of a Civic Center (with auditorium, ice arena and football field) on David Denny's Potlach Meadows land brought residents from all over the city to Queen Anne for concerts and sporting events.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

The first [[terrestrial television|television broadcast]] in the [[Pacific Northwest]] originated from the hill in November 1948, when KRSC-TV (now [[KING-TV]]) signed-on from its transmitting tower at Third Avenue North and Galer Street. [[KOMO-TV]] installed its own tower nearby, on Galer Street and Orange Place North, and began operations from there in December 1953, and [[KIRO-TV]] went on the air in February 1958 from a tower adjacent to its original studios on Queen Anne Avenue.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

"The 1962 Seattle [[World's Fair]] was perhaps the most transformational single event in the history of Queen Anne", according to historians Florence K. Lentz and Mimi Sheridan.  Named the [[Century 21 Exposition]], the fair expanded on existing Civic Center infrastructure on the old ''baba'kwoh'' swale.  After the fair, the grounds became the [[Seattle Center]], home to the [[Space Needle]], [[Pacific Science Center]], [[Experience Music Project]], [[Museum of Pop Culture#Science Fiction Museum|Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame]], the north terminal of the [[Seattle Center Monorail|Seattle monorail]] and [[KeyArena]].<ref>Lentz, Florence K. and Mimi Sheridan, [http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/preservation/ContextQueenAnneStatement2005.pdf Queen Anne Historic Context Statement] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100607192530/http://www.seattle.gov/neighborhoods/preservation/ContextQueenAnneStatement2005.pdf |date=June 7, 2010 }}.

The [[Seattle SuperSonics]] began playing at the then-[[KeyArena#Seattle Center Coliseum|Seattle Center Coliseum]] in 1967.  The [[Seattle Thunderbirds]] hockey team began play next door at the Mercer Street Arena in 1977.  The [[Seattle Storm]] basketball team began play at KeyArena in 2000.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

As late as 1964, the area had a large enough population of families with children to motivate opening McClure Middle School, but by 1981 a decline in such families led the school system to close Queen Anne High School, North Queen Anne Elementary School, and West Queen Anne Elementary School.<ref>{{cite book|author=Reinartz, Kay|title=Queen Anne: Community on the Hill|publisher=Queen Anne Historical Society|year=1993|isbn= 978-0-9638991-0-1}}</ref>
