South Lander St, North Beacon Hill

Much of SODO (Seattle's industrial district SOuth of DOwntown) occurs between South 1st and 4th Avenues. Aside South Lander Street has the majority of the retail businesses, such as Home Depot, an Army/Navy store, kitchen supply store and the Sears building with Office Max and, of course, Starbucks at the 1st Ave intersection. Just off of 1st Ave is a fairly new, contemporary restaurant, Jones Barbeque. Down by 4th Ave. South, the Pacific Galeries Antique Mall holds auctions where you can pick up some really beautiful antiques, sometimes for pretty good deals. The Esquin Wine shop is on the southeast corner of 6th and Lander, and they have a fairly good selection of wines (though there's a better wine shop, The Wine Outlet, on 1st and Holgate). There are plenty of parking lots, since it's so close to the stadiums, but there is also on-street parking, as well. Drive cautiously because the train tracks that cross South Lander at several sections cause a bit of a bumpy ride.
