If you haven’t been out to explore Capitol Hill. Now is the time! This vibrant, bustling neighborhood is the Manhattan of Seattle. Offering all you could ever want for shopping, dining, arts, entertainment, nightlife, outdoors and more! Not to mention being well connected to downtown and other nearby neighborhoods.

Urban Living at its Best

We highly recommend that you get out and explore Capitol Hill. Broadway, the Pike/Pine corridor, E. Olive Way, and both 12th and 15th Avenues. They have a variety of businesses and unique shops offering local goods and clothing. Broadway Market is nearly a one-stop shop all to itself. If you can’t find it there, you will close by! When the weather is nicer, many of the restaurants and bars such as Witness, Bait Shop, and Rom Mai Thai pour out onto the street with sidewalk seating to enjoy the diverse fare and passers-by. Grab your morning coffee on the way to work at the Vivace, Analog or Top Pot. Enjoy weekend brunch and a stroll thru the year-round Capitol Hill Farmers Market. There is no shortage of outdoor space. The larger Volunteer and Cal Anderson parks allow for a green escape in the city. Find one of the many smaller parks that dot the hill. Some even have their own p-patch communities, such as Tashkent, Summit Slope, or Broadway Hill parks.

Entertainment and nightlife abound. From weekly and monthly shows to annual events such as Seattle Pride and Capitol Hill Block Party. Julia’s on Broadway has a weekly schedule of shows featuring burlesque and drag celebrity impersonation. Running Thursday through Sunday, including two brunch shows. With football season underway. Watch the game and enjoy beer or cocktail at CC Attle’s, Madison Pub, Kessler’s or the iconic Bill’s Off Broadway. For those into gaming or ‘gayming’. Visit the Raygun Lounge for board, role-playing or card games. Plus, our very own Donnatella Howe hosts a monthly Cards Against Humanity night there as well. Neighbours Nightclub offers weekly and community events. They have also been the place for dancing those Friday and Saturday nights away since 1983. Wind down your weekend with the ‘tiniest tea dance’ around at Pony or head to The Cuff for Disco Vinnie’s ‘Dec-a-Dance’. From small intimate venues and events to the larger scale, there is something for everyone and everyone is invited.
