@3 If it's South of the ship canal, East of 15th/Elliott, North of Denny and West of Westlake Ave, it's Queen Anne. If it's not on the elevated portion, it's lower Queen Anne.
@4: I know this is Seattle, where people think words get to mean whatever they want them to mean, but NO. You are wrong.
See this pink box? That's Lower Queen Anne. It has demarcated boundaries, set by the city, for statistical purposes and for directional clarity.
It is also more than a mile from Nickerson, with a massive fucking hill between the two places that must be scaled or circumnavigated to get from one to the other.
Nickerson and the hill's northern slope have no formal designation, but the most common colloquial ones are "the back of Queen Anne" or "near SPU".

I have lived in the area around Nickerson. It is not Lower Queen Anne.
The city defines Lower Queen Anne as the plateau between Denny and the south slope of Queen Anne Hill.
The census-takers define Lower Queen Anne as the plateau between Denny and the south slope of Queen Anne Hill.
All cartographers, at all points in history, have defined Lower Queen Anne as the plateau between Denny and the south slope of Queen Anne Hill.
You're the idiot. Believing deeply in your incorrectness does not alter fact.
