Historic Wallingford partnered with Tyson Baty, real estate specialist with John L. Scott Real Estate, to produce this short video about Wallingford’s Craftsman bungalows.

Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood is located on a hill overlooking the north shores of Lake Union. It is an early 20th century streetcar suburb, and its growth followed the arrival of the streetcar lines between 1905 and 1910. Hundreds of residences were built all over Wallingford in the early 1900s, and they reflect a range of architectural styles that were popular nationwide. Craftsman is the most common house style found in Wallingford.

Thank you, Tyson!
