Capitol Hill: a walkers' paradise

We all knew it. Now it's official: http://www.walkscore.com/rankings/Seattle

OK so I did accept the offer of a ride home last night when I was walking up the hill, but I was hurrying off to a local business to pick up my repaired bike.

Why didn't we score higher? Note their idea of my closest grocery store, bookstore and library .

Note: sometimes when I use that link I get a walk score of 69 and am told there are no grocery stores (or a mini-mart on the other side of I5) and sometimes I get a score of 89 and they find the Safeway! My nearest library is typically identified as "Group Health Co-Op Med Library", though once it was a bar with "library" in the name. Neither was what I had in mind.

Closest _____
This reminds me of when I lived in Chicago and did a search for nearby gyms. The closest? Steamworks, a bathhouse!

pretty crude
issues of quality are sorely lacking from this like the difference between a mini market and a real grocery and the difference between a walking on 15th E versus walking on Aurora. I would argue Capitol HIll is the most walkable hood especially when considering quality, comfort and safety .
