An eclectic and diverse urban mix, with a perpetual energy that runs round the clock, Capitol Hill is located east of Interstate 5, west of 23rd St., south of Interstate 520, and north of Union St.
It was named Capitol Hill because many thought it would make an excellent state capital for Washington with its wonderful view of Seattle from Volunteer Park and it's diverse representation of the area.
