Getting tattooed in Greenwood
Greenwood's commercial center sits at the intersection of Greenwood Avenue North and North 85th Street, with Phinney Ridge running south along the same ridge. The neighborhood also takes in Bitter Lake and Broadview to the north.
Several tattoo studios sit within a few blocks of that intersection, which makes Greenwood one of North Seattle's easier places to compare shops on foot. Most business-district street parking is free with posted time limits.
Route 5 runs along Greenwood and Phinney avenues to downtown, and the RapidRide E Line runs on Aurora Avenue at the neighborhood's eastern edge. After a session, the shops and cafes along Greenwood Avenue make for an easy stroll, and Woodland Park Zoo is a short ride south.
