[edit] Bryant and Ravenna-Bryant
Bryant is a residential neighborhood in northeast Seattle, Washington. It is bounded by 25th Avenue NE on the west, beyond which is Ravenna; NE Blakeley Street, Union Bay Place NE and NE 45th Street on the south, beyond which is University Village; Sand Point Way NE on the east, beyond which are Laurelhurst and Windermere; and NE 75th Street on the north, beyond which are View Ridge and Wedgwood.
The neighborhood is sometimes known as Ravenna-Bryant, due to its proximity to Ravenna Park. The Burke-Gilman Trail runs along the southern and eastern margins of the neighborhood, paralleling Blakeley Street, Union Bay Place, 45th Street, and Sand Point Way. Bryant Park is located on NE 65th Street at 40th Avenue NE [1].
Bryant Elementary School is located at 33rd Avenue NE and NE 60th Street. The school was named after William Cullen Bryant. Bryant School has an event called the Bryant Blast in late spring that offers many games and food, including bouncy toys, cake walks, raffles, and more.
The Northeast branch of the Seattle Public library, one of the busiest in the system, is located at 35th Avenue NE and NE 68th Street. Bryant is also the home of three synagogues, Congregation Beth Shalom (Conservative) at 35th Avenue NE and NE 68th Street, Emmanuel Congregation (Modern Orthodox) on NE 65th Street and 35th Avenue NE, and Congregation Shaarei Tefilah–Lubavitch (Orthodox) on NE 65th Street and 43rd Avenue NE.
Most of the commercial establishments in Bryant are located along NE 55th Street between 25th and 35th Avenues NE. The west end is home to the original Kidd Valley burger restaurant. The Duchess Bar on 55th west of 30th Avenue NE is a popular place for patrons to watch University of Washington football games, which are played just south of the neighborhood at Husky Stadium.
