Harvard Market

The property manager regularly allows the garbage bins to overflow, inviting gigantic rats into the area. I have seen them scurrying around during the day, that is how empowered those rodents feel.
There are regularly junkies, transients, and QFC employees hanging out on and around the stairs smoking. The junkies feel empowered enough to enter the businesses here to beg and shoot up.
Earlier today, I passed by a man who had nodded out near the stairs by the Tangerine Tree, the needle he used in plain view. I returned shortly after with my husband so that we could call for aid, and while the man was gone he had left a large stash of needles in the bushes nearby.
The property manager has been allowing these problems to build up every fall for many years now. It is simply unacceptable.

It’s a multilevel structure with street, parking lot, and parking garage access to the stores. I wish I can say it was the most magical parking experience I’ve ever had, but it’s really nothing of marvel. It’s not an architectural splendor and stores will always come and go. Why would I give this place 4 stars? Simple: if you know your way around the hill you can get in and out of the complex without having to drive in from the main streets, which is very important for me when I venture to the 8 oz. Burger Bar.

Love to go here for QFC.

The Harvard Market is the home of QFC, Bartell’s, a UPS Store, and several small restaurants and other businesses including Marination Station which is one of my favorite places on the hill. Conveniently located on Broadway between Pike and Pine, you will even find free parking on both the upper level and in the garage down below.

This is a really cute shopping center in the heart of Capitol Hill. Here you can find, several restaurants including Tacos Guaymas, Tidbit Bistro, Tamarind Tree, a Subway and more, Bartell and Drugs is upstairs. A big QFC occupy most of the lot. The shops offer free validated parking for 90 minutes: this is a huge bonus in an area where finding parking is so hard!

This is really a handy little shopping center for the hill. Downstairs you have QFC, AT&T wireless, a korean eatin place and a smoke shop. Upstairs there is UPS, Bartells (sp) T Mobile and a Vietnamese eating place. All in all 4 stars but I will admit I do miss the Burger King but there is Subway which is ok at best. Oh yeah I almost forgot there are resteraunts along the Broadway side of the complex and a Great Clips (?) too with parking upstairs and a garage that is FREE if you shop one of the vendors.
