Seattle neighborhood
Rainier Beach
Down where Rainier Ave S meets Henderson, the city loosens into lake and garden: Beer Sheva Park sloping to the water, Kubota Garden's ponds and pines off Renton Ave S, the Chief Sealth Trail starting its climb toward Beacon Hill. Between the light rail station on MLK and the state-title banners at Rainier Beach High, this corner carries more pride per block than most of Seattle.
