Broadview is a neighborhood in northwestern Seattle, Washington, USA.
Broadview is bounded on the west by Puget Sound; on the north by N.W. 145th Street, beyond which is the city of Shoreline; on the east by Greenwood Avenue N., beyond which lies the neighborhood of Bitter Lake; and on the south by N.W. 105th Street and Carkeek Park, beyond which, from west to east, are the neighborhoods of Blue Ridge, Green Arbor (allegedly - no accepted definition for "Green Arbor" exists) Crown Hill, and Greenwood.
- On the western edge of Broadview is a bluff, below which runs the BNSF Railway mainline along Puget Sound.
- Carkeek Park occupies the southwest corner of the neighborhood along the shoreline. Within it is Piper's Creek.
- Broadview is also home to the historic E.B. Dunn Gardens designed by the Olmsted firm who are responsible for many of Seattle's parks. The gardens can be toured with a reservation.
- On the northwest side of Broadview bordering the Highlands, Llandover Trail is home to many Native Animal and Plant Species such as owls, eagles, mountain beavers, and old-growth trees. The species have been preserved due to limited residential development in the area.
