The neighborhood of awesome.


While the interior of our apartment was stressing me out a little, the neighborhood felt right immediately. We live in Capitol Hill, described by Lonely Planet as, “probably Seattle’s most diverse and lively neighborhood because of its distinctly edgy personality”. There are great coffee houses, restaurants and an already favorite pub just 1 block away, and just to the east of us are beautiful old mansions along tree-lined streets and just to the west of us is Broadway, a sassy-flavored street lined with cheap ethnic restaurants, bookstores, record shops and eccentricities of every sort.
Another neighborhood perk: on a clear day, you can see snow capped mountains to the east and to the west. Amazing...
