i will warn you that all of Queen Anne Hill is very white.

however, lower QA is a great place to actually live if you can deal with that. it's a very short busride or 15-20 min walk to downtown which is nice. you definitely feel like you're * IN * the city but it's a bit more quiet than being right downtown. lower QA also has some good bars and restaurants (i highly recommend Toulouse), there's 3 grocery stores (Safeway, QFC, and Metropolitan Market which is like a Whole Foods combined with a normal grocery store) and a drugstore. there's also grocery and drugstores if you go up on top of the hill, along with some other good restaurants (5 Spot). Shawn Kemp's bar/restaurant, Oscar's, is right there on lower QA too.

i actually miss living in that area. probably the best neighborhood i've lived in during my 30+ years in Seattle.
