Bradley and Hannah’s Seattle
Neighborhoods
Many of the hippest restaurants in the city. Rainbow flag crosswalks. A fast changing landscape with Seattle University in its midst and the main corridor of Pike and Pine St. A worthwhile evening of strolling these two streets exploring the queer bars, nightclubs, and music venues. Also a day time stroll to explore the art, small independent shops, and thrift stores.

Nicknamed “the center of the universe”, Fremont is fast changing by the influx of tech companies but still has a weird flair of makers, record stores, vintage, and music venues. We spend much of our time in this neighborhood because it’s within a decent walk’s distance from our place and has many of our go to spots.

This is college central with many groups of young folk navigating the overpriced strip of food spots on “the Ave” being the strip of action on University Avenue. Although this bro feel exists, U District is a great place to find some solid vintage clothes and bookstores. You can get delicious Asian and Indian cuisine in the area. A walk through the University of Washington campus is worthwhile with its years of development, winding roads, old and new architecture interwoven with views of Mt. Rainier.
