Phinney Ridge is a neighborhood in north-central Seattle that is west of Green Lake. The neighborhood is full of small shops and businesses. The neighborhood’s main attraction is Woodland Park, which encompasses the Woodland Park Zoo.[1] This zoo has received praise for its natural, outdoor exhibits; among them, you’ll find the Gorilla Exhibit, the African Savannah, the Marsh and Swamp, the Tropical Rain Forest, the Elephant Forest, and the Northern Trails of Alaska, which is a habitat for wolves, otters, and bears.[2]
