Perched between Lake Union and East Seattle is the vibrant Capitol Hill neighborhood. The area is the definition of diverse — Seattle’s oldest mansions, converted lofts, and modern condos, the grunge set and private school students, upscale eateries and delicious dives all mix here.

As the Castro District of Seattle, Capitol Hill is the hub for our proud gay/LBGTQ community. With Seattle University and Seattle Central Community College located on the hill, lots of young people spend time in the area for its proximity to school and its alternative, urban vibe. Families are also drawn to North Capitol Hill’s numerous schools, parks, and stately homes.

Capitol Hill’s central location and adjacent I-5 make the neighborhood easily accessible. The Link Light Rail station at Broadway and John makes going virtually anywhere in Seattle a breeze – popular stops include the downtown core, UW, and SeaTac Airport. Buses headed everywhere stop along the bustling streets, and cyclists use the convienent bike lanes to weave their way throughout the neighborhood.
