Capitol Hill, Seattle
Capitol Hill is a densely populated residential district in Seattle, Washington, United States.

In 2022, Charlie Sprinkman created the website ''Everywhere Is Queer'' to help promote queer-owned businesses around the world. Canada Cape & Cowl is among LGBT-owned businesses in Canada.
