Yes, it's called Capitol Hill -- but it isn't the capitol and there's no capitol building. So how did this Seattle neighborhood get its name? Back around 1900, a real estate developer renamed the burgeoning community from "Broadway Hill" to "Capitol Hill" because he wanted the capitol to be moved from Olympia to Seattle. That never happened, and the quirky neighborhood kept its new quirky name. Capitol Hill is the neighborhood for those who love nightlife. As Seattle's premier place to party, Capitol Hill is home to coffee houses, taverns, bars, nightclubs, and theaters.
Home to artists and musicians, Capitol Hill features a variety of festivals and events throughout the year, and it is home to the Capitol Hill Arts District. College students also find their way to the Hill, which is home to Seattle Central College and is just south of the University of Washington. In addition to the terrific restaurants, shops, and cafes you'll discover when you choose a Capitol Hill apartment, you'll discover three large parks: Volunteer Park, Cal Anderson Park, and Interlaken Park. Volunteer Park is a designated landmark that features the Seattle Asian Art Museum, a playground, the Volunteer Park Conservatory, and an iconic water tower. Of course, a neighborhood that likes a good party will throw a major one, and the Capitol Hill Block Party takes place in July. Featuring three full days of live music and art, this weekend celebration is a party you'll never forget.
