About Phinney Ridge

Dog walking in Phinney Ridge, what it actually looks like

Phinney Ridge runs along the spine north of Green Lake, with Woodland Park (zoo + off-leash area) as the south anchor and Greenwood as the northern transition. Single-family bungalows and a tight commercial strip on Phinney Avenue N (cafes, the PhinneyWood Farmers Market in summer). Quiet, family-oriented, hikers and runners well-represented.

Phinney Ridge sitters tend to be active outdoor types; hiking-capable sitters here charge a small summer premium for Tiger Mountain or Rattlesnake Ledge group hikes. Yards are common. The breed mix favors active dogs: Goldendoodles, Aussies, rescue mixes from Seattle Humane needing real exercise.
