"Belltown drug market" sign

Sign found on a sidewalk electric box: "Welcome to the Belltown Open Air Drug Market. Meth, crack & heroin - discount prices. Open all night."

The Seattle neighborhood called "Belltown" was known for being a seedy crime-infested district up until the mid 1990s, when rising land values started bringing more development in and forcing the crackheads and drug dealers out.

Some people complain about this gentrification. Others complain it hasn't gone far enough.

One of two compositions for this photograph.
