Capitol Hill is the hub of Seattle's free-thinking, artistic, open-minded community and home to many reputable music venues and bars such as [[Linda's]], [[Cha Cha's]], [[Chop Suey]], [[Hopvine]] and [[Neumos]]. The neighborhood is also home to a number of art galleries, and independently-run boutiques and coffee shops. |

Capitol Hill is inarguably Seattle's "hip" neighborhood, a fact reflected in skyrocketing rental costs and the recent interest of large-scale developers in tearing down blocks that have housed neighborhood landmarks for years to make way for cheap and unattractive condominiums with a high real estate pay off, and that generally appeal and are affordable only to bland individuals who do not in any way enrich the culture of the neighborhood. The slapstick-condo phenomena has been a city-wide issue, but is particularly rampant in Capitol Hill due to aesthetic appeal of the neighborhood, largely attributable to its countercultural roots.

The recent trend of large ten-plus member households such as the [[Spaceship Excellent]], 619 House, and Beacon Hill-ton are all examples of how Capitol Hill area renters have creatively dealt with the city's fast-increasing cost of living and comparably low wages. Members of these large, non-communal households are able to avoid a lifestyle that requires driving, and keep rental costs below or near average so their time and resources can be devoted to personal and artistic pursuits, and to enjoying the neighborhood's thriving theater, music and art scenes. Residents find the environmental efficiency and social networking opportunities of such arrangements to be additional benefits. |
