A Ramble Through Central Capitol Hill Part 1, Spring, 2023

Capitol Hill
Written By rambling seattle

This ramble climbs up Capitol Hill via the backside from South Lake Union and is the first of a 3 part series that will crawl through central Capitol Hill. A pretty dense residential area that has plenty of commercial spots embedded here, there, and everywhere. I had a technical glitch that ended up dropping about 4 block, but technology is cruel, eh? That said, this neighborhood is one of the city’s most dynamic areas and this ramble highlights one of the cozy residential areas of the neighborhood. Enjoy!
