The things that make this neighborhood special are the same things that have kept the masses away for so many years. Criss-crossing train tracks. Planes roaring over rows of warehouses. A backdrop of shipping cranes. It's this timeless grit and industrial chic that has given rise to a flourishing community of restaurants, bars, breweries, art galleries, photo studios, and coffee shops. There is no veneer. It's as real as Seattle gets.
