East Thomas St, Broadway (Capitol Hill)

E Thomas offers apartment buildings and a few houses right near Broadway and all the culture of Capitol Hill's beating heart.

Living on E Thomas is great for anyone who wants to connect to other people, to live the night life, to have an easy commute into downtown. The closer you are to Broadway, the more foot (and car) traffic you'll find, especially on weekend evenings. That's because you're in easy walking distance to great ethnic foods, urban boutique shopping, theaters and bars.

And I have to mention the great view of the Space Needle as you head west across Broadway.

It goes without saying that you shouldn't expect a quiet reclusive retreat. E Thomas is for people who love the activity of social life, the excitement of random encounters with new faces, and the variety of opportunities Broadway provides.

While I love the convenience of living on Broadway, I dislike that there is no place for "locals". I don't have to go far from the beaten track to find my small neighborhood-oriented pubs and coffeeshops, though, and it's a worthwhile trade to be right on the bus line and only blocks from a huge grocery store.
