Seattle neighborhood · “The CD” to locals
Central District
Quincy Jones and Jimi Hendrix both came up through Garfield High and the old Jackson Street jazz scene, and the CD has been the heart of Black Seattle for a century. That story lives on at the corners of 23rd and Union and 23rd and Cherry, and in the Northwest African American Museum, set in the old Colman School beside Jimi Hendrix Park.
