From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meridian or Tangletown is the part of Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood that lies north of N. 50th Street, near Green Lake. Some consider it to lie outside of Wallingford proper. The name "Tangletown" comes from the disturbance of Seattle's street grid in this transition zone, where Wallingford shades into the Green Lake neighborhood. Of note are its "K streets": Kensington, Kenwood, Keystone, and Kirkwood Places N.
One of the neighborhood's principal landmarks, shown at left, is the former home of the Honey Bear Bakery, now the Elysian Brewing Company's TangleTown pub.
The neighborhood is bounded on the south by N. 50th Street, beyond which is the rest of Wallingford; on the west by Green Lake Way N., beyond which is Woodland Park and Phinney Ridge; on the north by N. 60th Street, beyond which is the Green Lake neighborhood, and on the east by Interstate 5, beyond which is the University District. Its main thoroughfares are Meridian Avenue N., Kirkwood Place N., and Latona Avenue N.E. (north- and southbound) and N.E. 56th Street (east- and westbound).
