Meridian or Tangletown is the part of Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood that lies north of N. 50th Street, near Green Lake. Some consider it to lie outside of Wallingford proper. The name "Tangletown" comes from the disturbance of Seattle's street grid in this transition zone, where Wallingford shades into the Green Lake neighborhood. Of note are its "K streets": Kensington, Kenwood, Keystone, and Kirkwood Places N.
One of the neighborhood's principal landmarks, shown at right, is the former home of the Honey Bear Bakery, now the Elysian Brewing Company's TangleTown pub.
The neighborhood is bounded on the south by N. 50th Street, beyond which is the rest of Wallingford; on the west by Green Lake Way N., beyond which is Woodland Park and Phinney Ridge; on the north by N. 60th Street, beyond which is the Green Lake neighborhood, and on the east by Interstate 5, beyond which is the University District. Its main thoroughfares are Meridian Avenue N., Kirkwood Place N., and Latona Avenue N.E. (north- and southbound) and N.E. 56th Street (east- and westbound).
Seattle was founded on the rough, physical industries of fishing, logging and coal mining, with San Francisco as her primary customer.
Seattle is also substantially influenced by the presence of the University of Washington (the largest single campus on the west coast and one of the top two recipients of grant money), as well as multiple smaller colleges and universities.
Fares from Vancouver to Downtown Seattle are $36 one-way, $65 round-trip; from Vancouver to SeaTac, fares are $49 one-way, $87 round-trip.
Wallingford is a neighborhood in north central Seattle, Washington, named after John Noble Wallingford (died 1913).
Like Fremont, Wallingford's boundaries are not fixed, but they may be thought of as Stone Way N. to the west, beyond which is Fremont; Lake Union to the south; Interstate 5 to the east, beyond which is the University District; and Woodland Park and N.E. 60th Street to the north, beyond which is Green Lake.
The secondary concentration of mostly retail businesses on N. 55th Street near Meridian Avenue is known variously as Tangletown or Meridian and considered by some to be outside of Wallingford proper.
