Wallingford consists of a busy strip of shops just west of I-5 along North 45th Street. This attractive neighborhood is close enough to the university to have a strong student flavor, but far enough away to mix in a more upscale atmosphere. Just north of Wallingford is Green Lake [1], almost a mile wide and the center for recreation in the area. On the south side of the lake is the Woodland Park Zoo [2].
