The Prince Edward Viaduct, a stretch of Bloor Street / the Danforth that goes over Bayview Avenue and the Don Valley Parkway, was at one time a popular suicide spot. As a result the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Edward_Viaduct#Luminous_Veil Luminous Veil] got built to prevent access to jumpers. It was also supposed to have a light display as part of it (hence the display), but budget constraints prevented that until July of 2015 when it got lit up as part of the PanAm Games.

The one thing everybody knows about Seattle, besides the coffee and Bill Gates. Built for the '62 World's Fair to collect and harness the psychic energy of Seattle's mortals. Forget I said that. It has a nice rotating restaurant on top, too.
 
 
It is also what connects Bloor Street to the Danforth—both of which are major East-West connections (a subway runs along them). The Danforth is an area full of Greek restaurants and where a number of Greek communities are. Some of the street signs in the area have Greek letters on them along with the Roman alphabet.

The City[edit]

An Overview[edit]

Yadda Yadda

Random Points of Interests[edit]

Space Needle[edit]

The one thing everybody knows about Seattle, besides the coffee and Bill Gates. Built for the '62 World's Fair to collect and harness the psychic energy of Seattle's mortals. Forget I said that. It has a nice rotating restaurant on top, too.

Ballard Locks[edit]

How the salmon get from the sea to freshwater, and how rich dudes get their yachts from the docks in front of the lakefront homes to the sea.

U District[edit]

The artsy neighborhood around the University of Washington ("U-Dub")

Belltown[edit]

The north end of Downtown, where they have a lot of skyscrapers and a lot of bars for all the skyscraper people to drink at after work.

Downtown[edit]

The famous bit of Seattle, with Pike Place Market, views of the bay, the Ferris Wheel, the Lusty Lady, and a lot of restaurants and tourists.

Pioneer Square[edit]

The south end of Downtown. The oldest neighborhood in town, full of red brick picturesque buildings, bars and homeless people. Plus it's got the Seattle Underground tunnels that let you go all over town without going out on the surface. Some people find that convenient.

SoDo[edit]

The area south of downtown and south of the major sports stadiums, full of warehouses and industrial parks, right near the docks of the cargo port. This is the hard industrial core of Seattle.

International District[edit]

Not far from Pioneer Square and Downtown, it's Seattle's Chinatown, with Little Saigon and Koreatown thrown in for good measure.

Nihonmachi (Japantown)[edit]

It's still there, but they took all the Japanese people away during WWII and after the war they didn't come back. Funny how that works.

Judkins Park[edit]

A little neighborhood with heart.
