Remodeling Seattle homes, neighborhood by neighborhood
Seattle's neighborhoods were built out over more than a century, and the housing stock shows it. Areas such as Ballard, Wallingford, Queen Anne, Capitol Hill and Beacon Hill include many early twentieth-century Craftsman bungalows, Foursquares and Tudors, often on compact lots. Further north and in parts of West Seattle, Lake City and Rainier Valley, post-war ramblers and mid-century homes are common.
Older Seattle homes often have smaller, closed-off kitchens, a single original bathroom, basements with low ceilings, and wiring or plumbing that has been updated piece by piece over the years. Remodels here frequently involve opening up the main floor, adding or reworking a bathroom, or making better use of a basement.
