Located in the north of Seattle, the Northgate neighborhood got its name after the Northgate Mall, the oldest modern shopping mall in the US. The mall today houses over 125 stores and is a center of shopping in Seattle.  Although shopping is one of the main reasons why residents of the city visit the area, it is not everything it has to offer. Once a swampland populated by Native Americans and their simplistic settlements, now a residential district with its own community college. Another structure worth taking a look at is the Idriss Mosque, interesting for both its architecture and bold history. However, what really makes Northgate a worthwhile destination is its stunning nature.

Haller Lake is a Northgate district surrounding a small lake of the same name, known for its peaceful atmosphere and the lovely Northachers Park.  Another famous division of Northgate is Maple Leaf, a beautiful area with parks, kitchy and unique shops as well as their lovely community. Finally, the Northern area of Seattle is perfect to meet the locals and have a more authentic experience than you would in some of Seattle’s busiest neighborhoods. That includes visiting one of their pubs and fast-food joints, that’ll make you feel like you’re one of the locals.
