Explore one of Seattle’s most underrated yet centrally connected neighborhoods—Interbay and Magnolia. In this episode, Kyle Moore of MacPherson's takes you through the heart of Interbay, a dynamic corridor that links some of Seattle’s most iconic neighborhoods while offering its own unique lifestyle, amenities, and hidden gems.
Situated between Ballard, Queen Anne, Magnolia, and Downtown Seattle, Interbay serves as a vital hub for recreation, travel, and everyday living—making it an increasingly attractive place to call home.
Discover Interbay’s Top Highlights:
Golf, Recreation & Community
At the center of the neighborhood is Interbay Golf Center, one of the most active public golf facilities in Washington. This year-round destination features a par-3 course, a two-story driving range with Toptracer technology, and a putting course—making it ideal for both casual players and serious golfers. Originally developed as part of a broader effort to revitalize the area, it now stands as a cornerstone of the community.
Waterfront Culture & Maritime History
Head north and you’ll find Fishermen’s Terminal, a historic working waterfront that has supported the North Pacific fishing fleet since 1913. Unlike more tourist-heavy destinations, this area offers an authentic glimpse into Seattle’s maritime industry. Stop by Chinook’s for classic fish and chips, or explore local vendors offering fresh, wild-caught seafood.
Nearby, Salmon Bay Marina provides a quieter waterfront experience just across from Ballard—offering scenic views, local businesses, and a more relaxed atmosphere compared to busier parts of the city.
Local Craft & Gathering Spots
Interbay and its surrounding areas are also home to standout local businesses like Figurehead Brewing Company, a popular gathering place known for its craft beer and welcoming neighborhood feel.
Cruise Gateway to the Pacific Northwest
On the south end, Smith Cove Cruise Terminal at Pier 91 serves as one of the region’s primary cruise ship terminals. Each year, hundreds of ships depart from here to destinations like Alaska and Canada, bringing global energy and seasonal vibrancy to the area.
Why Interbay Stands Out:
Interbay isn’t just a pass-through—it’s a destination in its own right. With its central location, access to waterfront amenities, recreational opportunities, and proximity to some of Seattle’s most desirable neighborhoods, it offers a balanced lifestyle that blends convenience with character.
Whether you're commuting, investing, or looking for a place to call home, Interbay delivers a unique mix of accessibility and community that’s hard to find elsewhere in Seattle.
