A Roofing Contractor for a Neighborhood with an Unusual Past
Bitter Lake wasn’t officially part of Seattle until 1954, but it played an outsized role in the region’s mid-20th-century social life. From 1930 to 1961, the neighborhood was home to Playland, an amusement park built around an 85-foot roller coaster called The Dipper and a 1,200-foot dark ride called The Canals of Venice — reportedly one of Seattle’s most famous makeout spots. The park closed as television, land values, and the 1962 World’s Fair drew crowds elsewhere, and the neighborhood has since grown into a lush, lake-centered residential area with larger lots and tall trees that are rare this close to the city center.
That mature tree cover and lakefront setting mean moss and shade are real, ongoing factors for Bitter Lake roofs, particularly on the older, larger lots that give the neighborhood its distinctive character. The neighborhood’s commercial spine along Aurora Avenue also brings more traffic and construction activity than in quieter residential pockets nearby.
As a Lynnwood-based, GAF-certified contractor, we serve Bitter Lake’s mix of houses, condos, and apartments with the same free inspections and honest quotes we provide throughout our service area.
