THE CENTER OF SEATTLE I was looking in the Sunday addition of the Seattle Times a few days ago and came across an article in the Northwest Magazine section by Richard Seven about this marker that he was instrumental in getting the city to place in the sidewalk. The spot that marks the center of the city of Seattle. It is located at the corner of Thomas and Minor Avenue North right in front of 301 Minor Avenue N. It was kind of fun finding it. When I finally found the right street corner I found a parking place. I got out of the car thinking I was going to have to scout around a little to find the plaque that is embedded in the side walk. I got onto the side walk and didn't walk more then three steps, and there it was. So here it is, the center of Seattle. It is north of town and not hard to find at all. Just go north on Fairview Avenue N til you get to Thomas, turn right then turn left on Minor Ave N. which is a few blocks up. It's right there on the left infront of a large apartment building.
