11th Ave, Downtown (Central Business District)

11th Avenue is doing much better ever since the redesign of the Bobby Morris Playfield. Far fewer creepy people hanging around at night, and the park is truly stunning with an arty wading pool/waterfall thing for during the summer. 11th also has the best Value Village in Seattle if you need some new clothes for cheap. The Hugo House is also there, which is a really cool writer’s collective that holds readings and performances for free all the time. Down south, 11th gets more residential with many new condo buildings popping up in the last ten years.
