Roosevelt is a neighborhood in north Seattle, Washington. Its main thoroughfare, originally 10th Avenue, was renamed Roosevelt Way upon Theodore Roosevelt's death in 1919. The neighborhood received his name as the result of a Community Club contest held eight years later, in 1927.〔Wilma (20 August 2001)〕 Roosevelt's principal and minor arterials are the one-way pair Roosevelt Way (southbound) and 12th Avenue NE (northbound), Lake City Way (SR 522) and 15th Avenue NE, and NE 65th and 75th Streets.〔 Low-Resolution Version, PDF format, at ("Principal, Minor and Collector arterials" ), 2005 See Bibliography for map selection and links to definitions.〕 City streets are laid out and designated in a pattern; see street layout of Seattle, directionals. The boundaries of the neighborhood are Interstate 5 to the west, beyond which lies Green Lake; NE Ravenna Boulevard and NE 60th Street to the south, beyond which is the University District; 15th Avenue NE to the east, beyond which is Ravenna; and Lake City Way (SR 522) to the north, beyond which lies Maple Leaf, ((map )).〔(1) Wilma (20 August 2001). (1.1) With respect to historical documentation, the ''Seattle City Clerk's Neighborhood Map Atlas'' has a discrepancy regarding the north boundary with Maple Leaf.

Since the abolition of wards in 1910, there exist no official neighborhoods or their boundaries in Seattle. ((1 May 2002, 28 September 2003) ) 〕 ==Schools== The Roosevelt district is also home to Roosevelt High School (RHS, opened 1922), one of the older schools in the Seattle School District. Like the street, it is named after Teddy, not Franklin D. Roosevelt.〔 For many years, Roosevelt High School and Garfield High School juggled the lead in the school district in many academic and sports fields. Alumni include Mark Pattison, who played football for the University of Washington Huskies and was drafted in the seventh round in 1985 by the Oakland Raiders of the NFL, actress Rose McGowan,(also attended Nova) and Nobel laureate scientists Linda B. Buck and Robert E. Lucas Jr.〔(0) Unreferenced text: for Roosevelt-Garfield, for Pattison, and for McGowan. (1) (2) Buck as alumnus of RHS not found so far, ; b. January 1947, graduated c. 1965.
