A Ramble from the ID to Capitol Hill via Seattle U.

This is another Odd One as it doesn’t neatly fit in either an International District category or a Capitol Hill one. This walk connect two of Seattle’s most interesting neighborhoods and between, you can catch a glimpse of what income inequality creates. Many new apartment buildings going up amid a pressing need for housing for the homeless. This walk showcase what is both good and bad about this city: the tremendous growth and the human cost of that growth. I find the contrast to be important to note.
