Seattle and the 15-minute city
The 15-minute city is an urban planning concept where daily needs — groceries, schools, healthcare, work, recreation — are reachable on foot within a quarter hour. Seattle's walk score of 74 measures how well the city meets that standard. Landmarks like Pike Place Market, Space Needle, Chihuly Garden anchor many walkable neighborhoods.
Mapping a 15-minute walk radius around any address in Seattle reveals whether daily essentials are in range. It's the single most predictive measure of neighborhood walkability — even better than walk score alone.
