NYTimes Travel features the U District
Mike Seely for The New York Times writes:
“…today’s Seattle is ever evolving, filled with colorful neighborhoods beyond the museum-studded central districts. The University District, or U District, is home to more pioneering and enduring businesses than just about any other neighborhood. Laid-back West Seattle is the birthplace of the city, and Ballard, a live-music hub, is the historic heart of the region’s thriving commercial fishing industry. These three well-established — and occasionally underappreciated — neighborhoods, each with its own decades-old institutions, are emblematic of the Emerald City’s natural beauty, vibrant street life, and commitment to both preservation and progress, and are well worth spending a weekend exploring.”
