Victory Heights is a neighborhood in the Lake City district of Seattle, Washington.
The neighborhood was named after the Victory Highway, which forms the eastern border of the area. The Victory Highway was originally called the Gerhart Erickson Road (Gerhart Erickson sponsored the Good Roads legislation in 1903), then Bothell Road, but was renamed the Victory Highway in 1924. The name later returned to Bothell Road, and is now Lake City Way NE. The neighborhood was annexed to the city of Seattle in 1954.
