Now entering Uptown: Seattle City Council resolution to reaffirm neighborhood name stirs debate
It was Shakespeare who once famously asked "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
But for those living in the area of Seattle known as Lower Queen Anne but now officially recognized as Uptown, the significance of the neighborhood's name is up for debate.
The Seattle City Council passed a resolution Monday officially recognizing the neighborhood as Uptown and requiring city entities to label it "correctly."
Sponsored by Councilmember Andrew Lewis, the aim of the resolution was to differentiate the neighborhood from Queen Anne. The main attractions in Uptown — which spans the area west of Aurora Avenue North, north of West Denny Way, east of Elliott Avenue West and south of Roy Street — include the Seattle Center, which will soon be home to the revamped and renamed Climate Pledge Arena.
