Canton Aly South, International District

The International District in Seattle is filled with great places to see and encounter but the drive is anything but desirable. Canton Alley South is one of those streets that takes away from locals visiting the area. Most tourists have never driven Canton Alley so they are ignorant to the lack of safety in the neighborhood. I would avoid driving and have through Canton Alley. I'm not sure if there is a detour around the area to get to Wing Luke Asian Museum that bypasses Canton, but it would be worth some investigation. South King Street and Weller are no better but at least the traffic is a little less bumper to bumper during rush hour.

I hated going through this street which I was forced to do one day. It was noisy because of the highway. Enough to drive you crazy if you were unlucky enough to live here. The neighborhood seemed very run down and I thought that it seemed very rough. After talking with my friend he advised me never to go through again because of its reputation. Stay away.
