Downtown
Downtown Seattle is the city's bustling central business district, offering a vibrant mix of urban life, culture, and stunning waterfront views. Unlike many other West Coast city centers, Seattle's downtown is relatively compact, shaped by its unique geography. With hills to the north and east, Elliott Bay to the west, and reclaimed land to the south, it’s easy to navigate but still packed with things to do.
Bounded by Denny Way to the north, Downtown sits just south of popular neighborhoods like Lower Queen Anne (sometimes referred to as "Uptown"), Seattle Center, and the dynamic South Lake Union district. To the east, Interstate 5 separates Downtown from Capitol Hill and the Central District, while to the south, S Dearborn Street marks the start of SoDo, Seattle's industrial and sports hub. To the west, you'll find the sparkling waters of Elliott Bay, making waterfront strolls and harbor views a major perk of downtown living.
Whether you're enjoying world-class dining, exploring Pike Place Market, or catching a ferry across Puget Sound, Downtown Seattle offers the perfect blend of business and pleasure. It’s a dynamic area where history, culture, and innovation come together, all within a stunning natural setting.
