| View of the Space Needle and Olympic Mountains from Capitol Hill. |
Capitol Hill is a neighborhood that doesn't fit easy stereotypes. The most urban, dense part of the city, this community often feels like a small town. Stroll Broadway or 15th Avenue on a Sunday afternoon, and you're likely to discover tattooed twentysomethings walking alongside moms with strollers. You'll encounter the Broadway Farmers Market, a seasonal fiesta of food, flowers and music. Visit the newest city playground Cal Anderson Park, full of dog walkers, Frisbee players, and children sticking their big toe in the streaming fountain.

| Restaurants & quirky shops on Broadway. |
Along the Pike/Pine Corridor explore the vintage clothing stores, furniture shops, and coffee houses that give the neighborhood its sense of espirit de corps.
Check out the 12th Avenue Business District with new restaurants and a theatre scene.
Then take a lazy stroll down Broadway, where you'll discover bronze dance steps set into the sidewalk that will inspire another rhythm altogether.

| Cal Anderson Park |
At the north end of Broadway, you'll soon arrive at the entrance to Volunteer Park, a large, forested urban oasis, replete with a glass conservatory built in 1912, the Seattle Asian Art Museum, and a water tower with splendid 360 degree views of downtown Seattle and neighborhoods near and far.

| Capitol Hill welcomes diversity. |
Breathe in the view and spot your favorite Seattle landmarks from the Space Needle to the Lake Washington Floating Bridge to Husky Stadium.
After you've taken in the views explore the streets bordering the park and enjoy stately homes built when city forefathers envisioned Seattle as the capitol of Washington State. While the designation did not come to be, the mansions and single family residences with Craftsman and Victorian style contribute to the historical character and elegance of the neighborhood.
Capitol Hill, a community where funky and elegant co-exist, and create a concoction unrivalled in any other pocket of Seattle.
