City:
Seattle
Capitol Hill is directly adjacent to Downtown Seattle, though it is separated by I-5, Seattle's main N/S freeway. The neighborhood is quite large, comprising multiple sub-neighborhoods that stretch from close to the Lake Union and the Ship Canal down south to First Hill and the Central District. The Hill, as its colloquially called (If you're calling it Cap Hill, I know you probably didn't grow up in Seattle), is the densest area of Seattle. Its densest census tracts have densities around 50,000 people per square mile. Capitol Hill is the center of the Seattle's robust LGBTQ community and promotes itself as a hotbed of liberalism and progressive values. It is also the "hot" neighborhood of the city. Plenty of Seattle's hippest restaurants, clubs, bars, and boutiques can be found in the neighborhood's boundaries. The area's popularity and constant development have led many locals to decry gentrification.

With the opening of a light rail station (it's really a subway) in the middle of the neighborhood in March 2016, the area's popularity will be going nowhere. The battle for affordability is being actively waged in Capitol Hill. Urbanists vs. Rent Control vs. NIMBYs.
 
After marveling at all the action happening around 23rd and Madison, I continued down Madison into CH. Unfortunately it was getting quite dark, so I didn't get to take pictures of all the new development going on in the Pike/Pine corridor.
