The other day I was wandering up the hill from downtown and came across a City of Seattle map kiosk at the corner of Pike & Boren. While standing in the shadow of those enigmatic white pillars that overlook the highway, I took a closer look to see if Capitol Hill was represented on the downtown map. Indeed it was, right next to the separately called out Pike/Pine area.

Aside from the unexpected extraction of Pike/Pine from Capitol Hill, I found it amusing that the artist chose to illustrate this new neighborhood with an Eames chair and what appears to be a lava lamp. I guess Pike/Pine is where you find those hippie designers. Groovy.
