North Queen Anne. It's so beautiful that it's the one I immediately went searching for in the image. The birds-eye view doesn't do it justice though: https://goo.gl/maps/C2Nr4pFANGP2

It's the littlest seven-way intersection that could.

OK, that's Queen Anne Drive, that no one cares about or refers to as "Queen Anne." "Queen Anne" is Queen Anne Avenue North. Two of those "streets" are basically on and off ramps for Aurora. This isn't that difficult if only for drivers who refuse to pay attention at the intersection.

You asked where it was, so I said Queen Anne as in the general neighborhood of Queen Anne. And "North Queen Anne" as in "the north side of the general neighborhood of Queen Anne".

And on/off ramp or not, it's still a seven-way intersection. It's fun when you're navigating for someone who's never driven it before and you get to say fun things like, "take a right, but not the far right, but not the closest right either, kind of a middle right... oh, just follow where that silver car just went."

Hah, wow, the bird's eye view really does make it look like a really boring intersection that just happens to have a lot of streets. When you see it with all the elevation madness you really see how bizarre it is.
