C2 has finished his move to the Capital Hill neighborhood of Seattle. We dropped by, saw his place and had dinner with him.

When I moved to Seattle almost twenty five years ago it was Seattle's gay neighborhood. It had many gay bars. Buildings were older and not always well maintained. 

I haven't been to Capital Hill in years. Between the pandemic, the black-lives-matter protests, living in the outer suburbs, and my relationships, there never was a reason to visit.

Now C2 lives there. And I see that Capital is really hopping! Gentrified. Half of the older building have been replaced by condos. The existing older buildings frequently host nice clubs, restaurants and shops. The streets are busy. Lots of people walking around and enjoying themselves.

Kudos to Seattle.
