Category Archives: Denny Blaine

Denny Blaine is a small, yet desirable neighborhood of Seattle. The neighborhood of Denny Blaine owes thanks to Madrona, since the developers, Elbert F. Blaine and Charles L. Denny, only began subdividing after Madrona’s trolley line was built adjacent to their land. In fact, the Denny Blaine real estate office was built at the trolley stop at the top of the last steep hill before heading down to Lake Washington. Today, Denny Blaine features some of Seattle’s most significant homes including fantastic waterfront real estate as well as view homes from the hillside above.
