Columbia City: The Spirit of South Seattle

Quirky -- and proud of it! That's how residents feel about their vibrant and historic community, rooted in the past but eagerly embracing the future. With its welcoming atmosphere, community pride, and overall affordability, Columbia City is a grounded and authentic place to settle down and thrive. You can move to your own beat here, whether it's checking out the latest exhibit at the artists' co-op, taking a yoga class at the community center, or rocking to a local garage band at the vintage Columbia City Theater. And when the faster pace of the big city calls, just hop on the train and be downtown in a mere 20 minutes. Life here is as laid-back or as busy as you want it to be. Dive in!
