Located in North Rainier valley north of 1-90 lid-Sam Smith park and east of Judkins Park lies a small neighborhood called Jackson Place Community. You may have driven by these signs often and wondered, but here is a little insight to what is currently happening here.
There are a few new buildings that have been added to this community and all on one block of Hiawatha Place S. A new business & community hub is developing in this neighborhood and many are not aware of their contents. We invite you to come and explore as many of the businesses are open 6-7 days a week, dependent on season.
Here you will find art, dance, bicycles, books, coffee, and a community in the North end of Rainier Valley. Currently we are comprised of the following businesses, peers, and non-profits and always welcome to add more. Jackson Place Community Council | Hiawatha Artists Lofts & concert series | Café Weekend | C Art gallery | Youth Venture | My World Dance & Fitness | Working Dog Bicycles | Artspace
We are juxtaposed to S. Rainier Ave. between S. Charles St. & S. Dearborn St. This is the quiet side of Rainier Ave. and we are looking to invite our neighbors and friends to join our facebook, and check out what the neighborhood is up too.
