14th Ave East, Broadway (Capitol Hill)

14th Avenue E runs right through Capitol Hill and is lined with condos and townhomes as well as local coffee shops. There is a very unique bed and breakfast located at the 900 block of 14th Avenue E, known as Shafer Baillie Mansion B&B. Home prices in the area can be over one million dollars but this is a highly coveted area of Seattle that offers superb ambience.

Seattle University can be found at the corner of 14th and East Cherry and expands about 50 acres across the area. More toward the downtown area will you find what seems like an over abundance of antique shops and second hand stores. You can also find several tea shops and wine bars in the area. Capitol Hill has it all and 14th Avenue E is where you will find most of it.

While 15th Avenue East is the "main line" of Capitol Hill, 14th Avenue East provides a tree lined residential area of large homes and small apartment buildings and condos. Safeway is an anchor at 14th/15th and John Streets, but my favorite place in the neighborhood is Remedy Teas between 14th and 15th on E Republican. Here you can kick back and drink TEA - a veritable tea oasis in a city of coffee-on-every-corner. Remedy has over 100 different teas to choose from, and they offer small pastries, cookies and savories to enjoy.
