Likely Seattle’s most misunderstood neighborhood, the Central District is located in the very heart of the city. It’s situated close to both floating bridges and downtown, making it an ideal bedroom community for in-city or Eastside commuters.
Historically, Seattle’s Central District was home to jazz legends like Ray Charles. In fact, the neighborhood’s Garfield High School has a nationally recognized jazz band and produces the majority of the city’s National Merit Scholars. The neighborhood is also home to cultural institutions such as the Pratt Fine Arts Center, the Langston Hughes Cultural Arts Center and the Northwest African American Museum, all of which offer educational and artistic programs. The popular Central Area Community Festival & Parade is held in August.
