St. James Cathedrals Neighborhood: A Community of Culture

Atop Seattle's First Hill, St. James Cathedral hovers protectively over downtown and the waterfront. This dense urban corridor harbors a wide array of humanity few other local neighborhoods can rival. And it is here, aligned by the always busy Madison Streetamong hospitals and churches, schools and museums, apartments and condominiums, hotels and businesses that the arts have consistently and all too quietly flourished. St. James and its neighbors have proudly cultivated year-round musical and cultural offerings of the highest quality, and in this concentrated area known as a medical and spiritual hub, its time to recognize and celebrate the artistic and cultural activities that set our First Hill neighborhood apart. St. James has long been appreciated for its transcendent concerts and recitals, and stands proudly in the midst of many nearby institutions whose cultural output is as diverse as it is dynamic.
