World Wrapps is on E Greenlake Drive on the Northeast side of the lake, and a great mix-in ice cream place next door.Also Greenlake Bar & Grill on E Greenlake Drive has outdoor seating. I live to the North of the lake, so I like to get takeout at the PCC on Aurora and sit by the lake.

fwiw, Zillow labels homes 76th street and North as Greenwood, 75th street and South as Phinney. But sounds like it's a little fluid.

GAIN is a group of active neighbors working together to enhance community and decrease crime in the area around the Aurora Corridor north of Woodland Park, south of 95th. GAIN?s vision is to bring permanent changes resulting in a safe and involved neighborhood.Learn how you can help at www.gainseattle.com

Where exactly is this? I'm new to the area and don't know where the old buildings are...

Yes, for what it's worth, I run PR at Zillow and I told Spencer to wear a jacket (which he then forgot to pack).  So Spencer, I told you so.  :)

Interesting Wall Street Journal post today of the same title...  basically saying think long and hard before buying in today's market.  Agree/disagree?? 

I've been toying with the idea of trying to sell my home near Greenlake.  I've heard there are currently more buyers for homes at a price point where the buyer would have a conforming loan  (currently capped at $567,500 in King County).  Simply because it's a lot easier for a buyer to get approved for a conforming loan these days vs a larger one.  So the takeaway on this is that Seattle sellers with homes priced @$500k or above are having a harder time selling...Curious anyone's experience or opinion on this?
