South Magnolia

Casual visitors cruise Magnolia Boulevard to admire the big, immaculate homes sitting atop the bluff, and take in their astounding views of Elliott Bay and Puget Sound. This stairway walk, however, shows you a lot more. You'll go up and down Magnolia's two hills and across the valley in-between, taking a route well off the beaten path to discover the surprising variety of this great neighborhood.

The "www" icon marking the slideshow indicates that it contains the additional content that is referenced in the book. For even more scenes from this tour of Seattle stairs, scroll below the slideshow.


The Glenmont Lane stairs, first stairway on the route: old streetcar track used as handrails

From the Glenmont stairway you head east on Perkins Lane; the bluff looming above is heavily shored up, and seems to be constantly leaking!

I love Magnolia and I think there's a classic beauty with old steps. I was in Italy in the summer of 2011 and absolutely loved the old architecture. I guess that what gives me an appreciation for your pics.

You need to post these to Pinterest!

This was another fantastic walk. Would never have discovered places like Perkins Lane on our own. Thanks!
