The Central Area (commonly called the Central District or The CD[1]) is a mostly residential neighborhood in Seattle located east of downtown and First Hill (12th Avenue and Rainier Avenue); west of Madrona, Leschi and Mt. Baker; south of Capitol Hill, and north of Rainier Valley. Historically, the Central District has been one of Seattle's most racially and ethnically diverse neighborhoods,[2] and was once the center of Seattle's black community and a major hub of African-American businesses.[3]
