Beacon Hill Seattle
Washington
The spine of the
neighborhood is Beacon
Avenue South, which
traverses the hill named
by financier M. Harwood
Young, who came from
Boston and named the
area after one of the
oldest residential
neighborhoods in his
hometown.
Beacon Hill Seattle was settled
by successive waves of
immigrants during its
first 100 years.
Italians owned and ran
many of the bakeries,
restaurants, markets and
shoe shops that lined
the avenue.
Beacon Hill Seattle:
The neighborhood's
ethnicity remains
remarkably mixed today.
More than half its
residents are of Asian
descent. Businesses
serve Asian cuisines and
rent ethnic videos, and
even former residents
return to partake of the
fare. Cultures and
values mesh, and
residents have united in
common causes such as
fighting airplane noise,
planting trees, building
parks and pushing city
government for new
services.
The neighborhood of
Beacon Hill Seattle
Washington is
generally defined as
being bordered by
Interstate 90 on the
north, Interstate 5 on
the west, Rainier Avenue
South and Martin Luther
King Jr. Way South on
the east and South
Myrtle Street on the
south. |
