Then, on Fremont, Phinney. and Greenwood, in takes an almost-straight shot north through Phinney Ridge and Greenwood to Shoreline.

Between the route’s bookends downtown and at Shoreline Community College, it hits a bunch of landmarks, including the Woodland Park Zoo, Bitter Lake, and a whole bunch of neighborhoody commercial centers.
