East Columbia St, Minor

Just a block north of Seattle University, Garfield High School and a Swedish Medical Center Campus, E. Columbia offers residents direct access to these as well as downtown Seattle to the west and the sprawling Madrona Park on Lake Washington to the east. The homes are mostly single-family residences, though you can find some rentals and apartment buildings blending into the scenery. Trees line the road, like most Seattle streets, and give shade from the sun in the summer and protection from the rain year-round! Several schools, including elementary, secondary and postsecondary schools, are close by for families with children. Parks and playfields are also no more than a block away for kids to play.

Capitol Hill shops and restaurants offer some of the city's best cuisine and boutique fare. The neighborhood has a sense of community, and often sponsors local events and activities.
