Magnolia is one of the largest Seattle neighborhoods and filled with beautiful and historical homes as well as surprisingly many newer or new construction homes. The neighborhood has miles and miles of beautiful beaches and waterfront and a large volume of public park land including Discovery Park. The neighborhood of Magnolia is centered around "The Village" and the Magnolia homes surrounding this hub tend to be on the "A" Hill or the "B" Hill. Neighborhoods within Magnolia include Land's End, Lawtonwood, Magnolia Bluff, and Briarcliff. Many have extensive views of both the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Another great site is to see the Bainbridge Island Ferry going back and forth across the sound or watch the cruise ships come in and out. Magnolia Real Estate in Seattle, WA Cl... 09/11/2012
