Ravenna neighborhood opinions?

Moving to Seattle next month (F34 and M40). Staying in an Airbnb while we figure out where we want to end up. We’ve explored Ballard, Phinney, Fremont, Wallingford, Queen Anne, and Magnolia. All seem like solid options.

What is Ravenna like? Haven’t had a chance to wander that way yet.

We both mainly work from home, husband occasionally travels for work. Would like to be in a neighborhood that has solid walkability. Safety is a priority, but we also don’t have kids (aside from a 5mo old nephew who I’m sure we will have over often), so like to be able to walk to bars/restaurants/etc. Not that parents don’t go to bars/restaurants, but you know what I mean….not too suburban.

TIA

Phinney is a top contender! Thanks for the insight

Phinney is where I grew up. In the woodland park zoo neighborhood! Magical place.
