Broadview is a neighborhood in northwestern Seattle, Washington, USA.
Broadview is bounded on the west by Puget Sound; on the north by N.W. 145th Street, beyond which is the city of Shoreline; on the east by Greenwood Avenue N., beyond which lies the neighborhood of Bitter Lake; and on the south by Carkeek Park, beyond which, from west to east, are the neighborhoods of Blue Ridge, Green Arbor (a subdivision planned in the 1950s by the Lagerquist Brothers north of NW 105th to Carkeek Park and between 11th Ave NW and 9th Ave NW ) Crown Hill, and Greenwood.
- On the western edge of Broadview is a bluff, below which runs the BNSF Railway mainline along Puget Sound.
- Carkeek Park occupies the southwest corner of the neighborhood along the shoreline. Within it is Pipers Creek.
- Broadview is also home to the historic E.B. Dunn Gardens designed by the Olmsted firm who are responsible for many of Seattle's parks. The gardens can be toured with a reservation.
- On the northwest side of Broadview bordering the Highlands, Llandover Trail is home to many Native Animal and Plant Species such as owls, eagles, mountain beavers, and old-growth trees. The species have been preserved due to limited residential development in the area.
