Fourth floor in Queen Anne High School is picturesque and of course you get the dramatic height and amazing architecture everywhere you look.

Living in History!

Queen Anne High School was one of the last creations of James Stephen during his nine years as Seattle’s official school architect. Stephen was responsible for designing more than 50 Seattle school structures and many more schools throughout Washington state, although I have a hard time believing any of the others are as breathtaking or in as beautiful of a setting as Queen Anne High School. The Grizzly was eventually adopted as the school mascot. Named after a beloved hang-out spot for students across the street, The Grizzly Inn. To this day, Queen Anne High School boasts a strong Alumni Association. Even though they no longer have future students walking the great halls, they have held on and cherished their roots and history and continue to support the prosperity of the building that is still standing.
