GET TO KNOW

First Hill

When Seattle was first being built on the muddy shores of Elliott Bay, the elite wanted the high ground. Hence, First Hill was literally the first hill to be developed with stately homes and manors. Many of these residences still stand and are preserved by historical societies. Fast forward to present day, and it is also known as Pill Hill, thanks to its many hospitals and clinics.

Mixed in between the massive, modern medical complexes and gorgeous mansions are apartment blocks, new and old. Residents don’t have to walk more than a few blocks to find nightlife and culture, too. There’s live music at Vito’s, art and lectures at The Frye Museum, and all sorts of programs at Town Hall. And, of course, it’s adjacency to Capitol Hill and Downtown (and the freeway) make it a dream for commuters and those who love to get out on the town!
