Seward Park
Seward Park is a quiet neighborhood in southeast Seattle, Washington just west of the park of the same name. The park itself (which is the largest public park in Seattle) occupies all of Bailey Peninsula, a prominent, forested peninsula that juts into Lake Washington.
The 300 acres of Seward Park has about a 120 acre surviving remnant of old growth forest, providing a glimpse of what some of the lake shore looked like before the city of Seattle.
Seward Park, which was first settled in great numbers in the 1880s, is built on the largest residential hill in Seattle. In a series of annexations, the neighborhood joined the town of Southeast Seattle, which then joined the City of Seattle in 1907.
The neighborhood is home to the oldest synagogue in Washington state.
Seward Park includes Whitworth and Graham Hill elementary schools.
