A Local’s Guide to the Ideal Day in Capitol Hill, Seattle
The rainbow-painted crosswalks are the first sign that you’ve arrived in Seattle’s gay neighborhood. The lgbtq+ fest flags in the windows of nearly every business and the large, visible LGBT population generate it even more obvious. Welcome to Capitol Hill!
Capitol Hill might be the most popular area of Seattle for dining and nightlife. The fact that it’s also a gay epicenter, with a dozen gay bars, makes the neighborhood that much better.
Beyond the gay nightlife, there are so many things to perform in Capitol Hill, including shopping for hidden treasures, attending shows at music and theater venues, and (of course) eating at some of the city’s top restaurants. The large neighborhood on a hill just east of downtown is easy to scout by foot, bus, streetcar, or light rail.
The Hill is one of the most fun homosexual neighborhoods in the country, and as a Seattle resident, I’m fortunate that I get to spend time here every week. If you have one daytime to experience the best things to do in Capitol Hill, from nature to dining to nightlife, read
Seattle welcomes everyone in a city that is harmless and friendly to all.
Just east of downtown, the Capitol Hill neighborhood has long been the city’s gay epicenter, with rainbow-painted crosswalks and many ways to dive into the LGBTQIA+ scene. Aside from Capitol Hill, there are gay-friendly and gay-owned establishments just about everywhere in town. Summer features two annual Pride festivals, while the Seattle Men’s Chorus and Seattle Women’s Chorus are the largest LGBTQIA-identified men’s and women’s choruses in the world. It’s pretty clear that in Seattle, we take identity festival in everybody.
