About Northgate
Northgate is a north Seattle neighborhood centered around the Northgate light rail station (opened 2021, the first subway extension to north Seattle), making it a transit hub for the northernmost part of Seattle. The Northgate Mall (now Kraken Community Iceplex and redeveloping into a mixed-use district) is being redeveloped as the neighborhood transitions. The population is diverse, working-to-middle class, and increasingly young as transit access drives new residential development.
