Capitol Hill is well known as the place packed with the hippest bars, varied and innovative restaurants, nightclubs, coffee shops, and independent stores and boutiques. This unique pocket of Seattle has a charm all its own! But the north end of Capitol Hill, which is bordered on the south by the city’s famed Volunteer Park—a beautiful public green space that also contains Lake View Cemetery and the grave of martial artist and film star Bruce Lee—is a niche neighborhood, a slightly quieter area within the Capitol Hill community that is still close to everything residents love about the neighborhood, but simultaneously manages to provide a more residential feel.
Highly walkable and with plenty of public transit options and easy access to I-5 and 520, this neighborhood is a dream location for the city dweller who adores being close to the center of it all and thrives off of a warm, welcoming, and lively urban energy—but still wants a peaceful retreat to come home to.
