This is the Seattle everyone thinks of when they think of Seattle these days -- hip and hipster and delicious and progressive and proudly gay. It's becoming a bit more gentrified these days thanks to the city's popularity, but it's an absolute must for visitors to take a stroll up and down Broadway. Here, you'll get a chance to sample the many awesome food options and the happening night life going on for both tourists and locals, gays and straights, along with an artsy sensibility to the streets, including the newly added rainbow crosswalks. Keep an eye out for the street performers or teenage runaways that tend to congregate around here.
