Capitol Hill-Seattle Metro

Seattle is a thriving, progressive city nestled between the beautiful Puget Sound and Lake Washington with the majestic Cascade Mountains on the eastern horizon and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Some of its most popular areas include Capitol Hill-Seattle Metro, Queen Anne, Magnolia, Green Lake, Phinney Ridge and Fremont, as well as the central and western regions of the city. Residents take pride in a pedestrian-friendly downtown and limiting urban growth, making it a comfortable and clean place to live. Among the factors that make Seattle a magnet for people who want the excitement and opportunities of a metropolitan center with the relaxed lifestyle offered by many diverse small communities are its thriving cultural scene, outstanding natural beauty, vibrant and attractive waterfront, world-class dining and efficient public transportation.

Capitol Hill-Seattle Metro residents have access to a quiet park retreat called Roanoke Park. About two acres in size, it is a small, grassy oasis in the midst of a residential neighborhood. The park is located at the intersection of 10th Avenue East and East Roanoke.

The residential communities surrounding Capitol Hill-Seattle Metro include Portage Bay, Montlake, Broadmoor and Madison Park.

Residents of Montlake are known for their dedication to community activism, primarily through the Montlake Community Club. The character of the neighborhood and its proximity to central Seattle, have made Montlake a popular choice for home buyers.

The Arboretum is one of Seattle’s most stunning natural spaces; the 230-acre living museum has more than 4,600 plant species, some of which are endangered. At almost any time of the year, the Arboretum displays a gorgeous array of colors and textures.
