3.  Several driving forces are causing Beacon Hill’s significant development including its proximity to downtown, strong light rail access and unique access to landmarks.

• The neighborhood was named as one of the “30 Great Places in America” by the American Planning Association in 2012 which represents the attractiveness of the location for residential development activity.
• The Link light rail services Beacon Hill with several stops (Beacon Hill, Columbia City, Othello and Rainier Beach). Most of these stops opened up right after the housing recession, so development was a little slow to start but has been improving recently.
• One of the largest parks in Seattle (Jefferson Park) was remodeled in the last 10 years and provides residents of the neighborhood with access to a 7-acre food forest, a golf course and a skate park. In addition to this park, the Cheasty Boulevard Trail makes Beacon Hill a fantastic location for walkers, runners, and cyclists.
• In 2007 the Chief Sealth Trail opened to be the first off-street, multi-use trail in southeast Seattle. The trail provides a fully separated surface and appeals to a broad range of users.
• North Beacon Hill has great proximity to highly desirable locations for residents to visit including the International District and Downtown.
• There are several landmarks in Beacon Hill such as the historic U.S. Marine Hospital, recently declared historic Fire Station 13 and the old Beacon Hill School. All of which contribute to the neighborhood’s unique character.
• Beacon Hill also has proximity to several highway onramps allowing residents with cars to be within easy driving distance of a connection to Seattle’s primary road network.
