Lower Queen Anne—often called Uptown—is one of Seattle’s most characterful neighborhoods: a compact mix of historic Queen Anne–style homes, apartment buildings, and tree-lined streets that slope toward the waterfront. Its older housing stock, plentiful eaves, basements and crawlspaces, mature landscaping, and close proximity to parks and Puget Sound create an attractive setting for residents and,…

As winter loosens its grip and Seattle slips into the wetter, warmer days of March, many homeowners begin noticing a rise in rodent activity—and one of the most obvious signs is droppings around the house. Warmer temperatures, mating season, and the unpredictable spring weather push mice and rats to seek food and dry shelter in…
