  • Bri B.
    "Great public transportation up and down the hill. Very close to hospitals and lots of food options. Very convenient location. "
  • Merdacazzo@gmail.com
    "Steep hills in every direction, homeless people down yesler towards 2nd, trash everywhere, rats are common, feces isn't uncommon, drug addicts (more common late at night). Seattle is going down hill along with all far left leaning cities. Never again will I live in such a left leaning area. It's filthy and everyone treats it as if it's normal. This is not what a civilized society looks like. "
  • Carolyn D.
    "There is a great park right across the street. Super convenient for dogs. Itโ€™s a nice place to walk and the community stairs are good exercise for them too."
