About this Neighborhood
Rainier Valley sits in Seattle's South End, tucked between Beacon Hill, Mount Baker and Seward Park. Its character is unmistakably global: Coffeeholic House, Delish Ethiopian Cuisine and The Flour Box lead the named spots, with five coffee shops averaging an excellent 4.6 and 16 restaurants in the mix. The Foursquare regulars gravitate toward Vietnamese kitchens, ice cream parlors, a music venue and bakeries — a neighborhood with range. Four parks and five groceries keep daily life anchored across this stretch of the valley.
