John St, South Lake Union

The east section of John Street is mostly taken up by the Seattle Times building. It’s also where you can find the long-standing 13 Coins, the restaurant famous for its 24/7 operating hours and gigantic portions. Once you head west, John becomes one of the principal sites of the South Lake Union gentrification project. There’s a bunch of nice looking new apartment buildings surrounded by few amenities that are difficult to drive to. Still, living next to Denny Park would be nice, even with the crazy homeless people that sometimes hang out there.
