Denny Regrade, Seattle

Denny Regrade, Seattle

The Denny Regrade is a neighborhood in Seattle, Washington, USA, that stretches north of the central business district to the grounds of Seattle Center. Its generally flat terrain was originally a steep hill, taken down as part of a mammoth construction project in the first decades of the 20th century. The neighborhood is named after that project, though in modern times the label is used almost interchangeably with Belltown, which is officially a subset of the Denny Regrade. It is also commonly referred to as the Denny Triangle due to its triangular shape.

Famous quotes containing the word seattle:

    The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath—the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench.
    —Attributed to Seattle (c. 1784–1866)
