Steps of Seattle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East Republican Street Stairway, 2023

There are approximately 650 public stairways in the American city of Seattle, Washington.[1][2][3][4]

Notable stairways include the Blaine Street Stairs, the Harbor Steps, the Howe Street Stairs, and the Pike Street Hill Climb. There are many public stairways on Queen Anne Hill.[5] The East Republican Street Stairway, an official city landmark,[6], is a remnant of a longer series of stairways connecting the Cascade neigborhood to Capitol Hill, the rest of which was lost to the construction of Interstate 5.[7]
