Belltown is a neighborhood that has gone through considerable change and serves as a link between key Seattle communities. It is currently one of the top three most densely populated neighborhoods of Seattle, and has recently been described by Seattle Times as “the bar-hopping neighborhood to watch in 2017.” The area used to house “Film Row” in the early 1900s and a thriving artist community in the 1980s/1990s. This is reflected in some of the neighborhood’s architecture. Development has supported newer residential and commercial buildings coming into Belltown, this allowed for the movement of new families and business to the area. Belltown is still going to undergo more change! Scroll down to find some more of the latest.
