East Cherry St, Minor

James Street turns into E. Cherry at the east side of downtown Seattle. The street runs through the Seattle University campus and just to the north of Swedish Medical Center's Cherry Hill campus. A few blocks away, the street borders Garfield High School and is about three blocks south of Madrona Elementary School. Suffice it to say, the neighborhood is a great place for families with kids. It even offers several parks, playfields and the large Madrona Park on Lake Washington for kids, adults and families.

Within a few block radius on either side, residents can often find shops, grocery stores, restaurants and little out-of-the-way diners and pubs. The neighborhoods between the colleges and Lake Washington are fairly quiet, pretty safe and quite green. People can typically feel safe walking around after dark.

This street is located in the Cherry Hill section of the city. There isn't much recreation around for children or adults. I didn't notice any bars or resturants in the area except for the main ones we can visit at home. The Swedish Cherry Hill Medical center is located on the same block. Its basically the medical area. With all the health centers and departments located in this area
