About this Neighborhood

Yesler Terrace carries a remarkable history — completed in 1941 as the state's first public housing and the first racially integrated public housing development in the country. Redeveloped since 2013 into a mixed-income, mixed-use neighborhood, it now buzzes with an extraordinary food scene: 97 restaurants rated 4.8, plus 26 coffee shops and 19 grocery options. The neighborhood Yelp rating hits a near-perfect 4.9 across more than 1,700 reviews. Vietnamese, Chinese, Szechuan, and vegan kitchens give it a deeply pan-Asian, community-rooted flavor, all wrapped around 12 parks and a performing-arts venue.
