I have lived on Capitol Hill for the past 9 years and have seen many changes! It used to be bright, happy, gay and fun with a great nightlife and delicious food. No need for a car when everything is within walking distance. In the past few years, the neighborhood has unfortunately become dingey, dirty, unsafe and really expensive. I still love the food and the friends I have made, and the feeling of familiarity but the rent prices are driving many of the original hearts of the hill to move away to less expensive and safer areas. I continue to live here because it is very convenient for work and school and not needing a car to get around. I feel my roots here and hope to see positive changes in the future! One of the biggest issues right now is our homeless population taking over parks, sidewalks, underneath freeway passes and the streets in general. It saddens me to see this and know that this is contributing to the cleanliness and safety of the city.
Capitol Hill has been my home for over ten years. Although the community has shifted a lot, I love the active hub this neighborhood is for so many hear in Seattle. From performances, night life, bands, and festivals we have it all. What I really dislike is how disregarded and mistreated our homeless population is. Where are people supposed to use the restroom? Why aren't there enough garbage cans? Why do we allow people to pee themselves on the streets instead of meet them where they are and provide compassionate, loving care to the people who have been kicked down by society enough? We need "friends of the people," so to speak, looking out for each other in this neighborhood. Much love
Capitol Hill is ok is you are looking for a standard trendy urban environment. For the more cultured individual there will not be anything unqiue here. I have not experince anything to scream "Only in Seattle" besides shock politics.
Scene
Imagine an Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, a Trader Joes, dog-walking and intramural sports. That is Capitol Hill. Essentially your local hipster haven.
Definitely a monoculture. Not very diverse.
Transport
Very easy to get to downtown. Easily walkable.
Terrain
The area can be quite hilly for those use to flat areas
Typical resident
23-30 years old, vegan, Trader Joes, recent liberal arts grad
