Some neighbourhoods in Seattle, notably those near the Duwamish Waterway to southwest of the city centre, are industrial in character, marked by rail yards, wharves, cranes, and low-income housing projects as its mentioned in Seattle neighborhoods map. Others, largely outside the city centre, are showcases for the opulence wrought by Seattle booming high-technology sector. Since its founding, Seattle has grown from its historic centre of Pioneer Square, the city oldest neighbourhood and a federally designated historic district.

The area redbrick townhouses, once residential, now house art galleries, restaurants, bookshops, and small businesses of many kinds. Pioneer Square is bounded by “Skid Road,” or Yesler Way, where, in the early years of the city, cut logs were rolled on a wooden skid downhill to a steam-powered sawmill on the waterfront as its shown in Seattle neighborhoods map. The square also is the site of the 42-story Smith Tower, which upon its completion in 1914 was the tallest building in the American West. To the south of the square lie rail yards, as well as Safeco Field and CenturyLink Field, two sports stadiums built in the late 1990s and early 2000s that are the home fields of, respectively, the Mariners (baseball) and Seahawks (gridiron football).

To the north of Pioneer Square, downtown, and the popular neighbourhood of Belltown stands Seattle Center, the 74-acre (30-hectare) site of the 1962 World Fair. The centre contains the 605-foot- (184-metre-) high Space Needle, Seattle best-known landmark, as well as McCaw Hall (home of the Seattle Opera), Key Arena, the Children Museum, the Museum of Pop Culture, and other public buildings as you can see in Seattle neighborhoods map. There the high-rise downtown cityscape gives way to the pleasant urban neighbourhoods of Magnolia, which borders Puget Sound, and Queen Anne, located east-southeast of Magnolia between Lake Union, the Lake Washington Ship Canal, and Elliott Bay. South Lake Union was a relatively sleepy area until Amazon.com consolidated all of its offices there in 2010, which led to rapid growth that was partially enabled by a streetcar line that had opened in the neighbourhood in 2007.

The City of Seattle is divided into 7 Council Districts as its shown in Seattle districts map, with a Councilmember representing each district. There are also 2 citywide Councilmembers representing the entire city. Seattle districts have a comfortably prosperous but not ostentatious feel, characterized by neat family homes and townhouses occupied by industrial workers, artists, academics, professionals, and that odd class of technology workers whom the novelist Douglas Coupland branded “microserfs.” The city is more closely connected to its downtown area than most of its counterparts in the American West, and considerable effort has been given to promoting the city centre as a place in which to live and work.

The downtown district is Seattle commercial heart as its mentioned in Seattle districts map. Of particular interest to visitors is the Pike Place Market, a sheltered area of fresh fish and produce shops, other retail stores, and restaurants. To the east and northeast of the downtown district stand First Hill and Capitol Hill, low bluffs covered by office buildings and commercial properties. Capitol Hill has many stately mansions and is a lively centre for shopping and nightlife. Beyond them are the Central District, the traditional hub of the city African American population, and the large residential Madrona neighbourhood, which faces Lake Washington.

Other residential districts lie to the north of the canal, such as Phinney Ridge and Greenwood—a large, loosely defined pair of neighbourhoods that feature small restaurants, coffeehouses, and other independent businesses—and Ballard, the historic locus of the city sizable Nordic population as you can see in Seattle districts map. Fremont, which lies to the east of Ballard, was for years home to many of the city artists, and it maintains a strong countercultural bent despite recent gentrification (its chamber of commerce playfully bills Fremont as the “Center of the Universe”). Fremont also contains a number of Seattle notable public sculptures, including an 18-foot- (5.5-metre-) tall troll underneath the Aurora Bridge and a bronze statue of Vladimir Lenin that originally stood in Poprad, Czechoslovakia (now in Slovakia), until shortly before the peaceful overthrow of that country communist regime. The University of Washington campus lies at the eastern end of the canal, near Lake Washington, and is surrounded by a vibrant community filled with shops, bars, and restaurants called the University (or “U”) District.
