Evil-In-Law: Filmed at 6245 5th Ave NW
West Woodland has shown up on the small screen as well. Evil-In-Law filmed two episodes at 6245 5th Ave NW. Both of these episodes aired in December 2013 and show the interior of the home.
I happen to be walking by when they were filming and met the Producer and set personnel. The film crew worked for Screaming Flea Productions, a production company based in Seattle. The Producer shared that they are always looking for new homes to film at, if interested please visit: http://www.sfpseattle.com/casting/ for more information.

Vintage West Woodland - Seattle 
Wow, I didn’t know that so many movies were made in such a small bit of the neighborhood over time. I’d never even heard of the Hackman movie & want to see it now. Thanks for the post!!
