This past week I ventured outside of West Seattle's Admiral District and spent time on Capitol Hill cat sitting for a friend. As a frequent visitor to the neighborhood during the weekends and evenings it was interesting to peer into the more subtle parts of the Hill and get a taste for its day-to-day rhythm.
Below are a few great places I had a chance to visit during my stay. Stay tuned for photos and more insights!
