"Improving street and neighborhood in Columbia City area"
Sout Alaska Street is a fairly average street in Seattle and more specifically the Columbia City area. There are a few restaurants and shops but a lot of the street is residential. You won't find high end homes on the block but there are some adequately priced homes if you are a first time home buyer. The street has improved greatly over the years. From what I remember, this area used to be kind of a dump, but ridding a large housing project and bringing in some new businesses has really helped to clean the community up. The big drawing card of this area and street is the ample public transportation. Residents find the public transportation quite reliable and a very efficient part of living here.

"Can you tell me where the light rail station is??"
South Alaska Street has been improved over the last couple of years as Sound Transit completes the light rail station that will serve the Columbia City neighborhood. Now we will be able to ride all the way to SeaTac airport, or to downtown Seattle, without having to have a car! This street has seen the demolition of an old housing project and the subsequent development of the "new" Rainier Vista - a mix of single family homes, town homes and future retail spaces. The area will continue to develop for a few more years to come.
