With the Northgate link light rail extension coming online, tens of thousands of additional daily riders are estimated to use the region’s light rail system. If you’re expecting to be one of those new riders or an preexisting one, there’s good reason to stop at the new Roosevelt Station. The Roosevelt station area has easy access to some of North Seattle’s best parks. After a nice jaunt, the area also presents lots of food options too. Plus if you want to start a band, it might be the only neighborhood in the city with multiple musical instrument and sound equipment stores located a stone’s throw away from each other.
