Seattle neighborhood · “Pill Hill” to locals

First Hill

They call it Pill Hill for the hospitals, with Harborview, Swedish, and Virginia Mason stacked along the ridge above downtown. Off shift, First Hill goes quieter: St. James Cathedral's twin towers at Ninth and Marion, the Frye's free galleries, Freeway Park decked over the roar of I-5, and the streetcar skirting the Broadway edge.
