Sometimes I think about a Beacon Hill that isn’t cut off from Pioneer Square and the Stadiums by the interstate and its ramps.

So isolating that some people call N Beacon Hill "South Seattle" with a straight face

In my mind, Central Seattle has always been the Cut to I-90. Anything north is North Seattle. Anything south is South Seattle. West Seattle is just West Seattle, and we don’t talk about Magnolia.

Yeah. What that hillside could be coming down into CID and Pioneer Square is pretty cool, and sad, to think about.

Another, maybe more impactful, angle from 1933. Can’t really forgive planners for jamming two interstates and a tangled web of ramps into this area.

Megan Asaka’s “Seattle At the Margins” has some great chapters about how the city viewed people who lived south of Yesler throughout the city’s history. It wasn’t with equal consideration!
