interbay

Interbay refers to a geographic area in Seattle, Washington, located between the neighborhoods of Magnolia and Queen Anne. This industrial and commercial zone is characterized by its historical significance as a transportation hub and its current role as a center for various businesses. The name "Interbay" derives from its position between two major bodies of water, Salmon Bay and Shilshole Bay, which are part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal.

Historically, Interbay was a vital part of Seattle's industrial development, particularly with the presence of the Milwaukee Road railroad. The area facilitated the movement of goods and served as a connection point for transportation networks. Over time, the landscape has evolved, with many of the former industrial facilities being repurposed or replaced by newer commercial enterprises and infrastructure.

Today, Interbay is home to a diverse range of businesses, including automotive dealerships, warehouses, light manufacturing, and retail outlets. It also hosts significant transportation infrastructure, such as major roadways and railway lines that continue to serve the region. The area's strategic location and accessibility contribute to its ongoing economic activity. The development and ongoing changes in Interbay reflect Seattle's broader urban growth and adaptation.
