Aside from its location, South Lake Union offers immense perks. Just take a trip to Lake Union Park for access to 12 acres of lakefront property with a boat launch, beautiful walkways, and the Museum of History & Industry, or experience of one its incredible local restaurants.

Would be great if it I went for the opportunist who moved in during the covid crisis. Fake landlords of all things. Bedbugs. Abuse of service animals. Tents blocking sidewalks and doorways. I understand you don't run your city like I am used to, but this is filthy nasty stuff. Are you liberal to that?

The area I love is nice. It's typically quieter than most of the city, but it's farther from restaurants and shopping including grocery stores so it's better if you have a car to get around.
