Blaine Street Stairs, Public outdoor staircase in Capitol Hill, Seattle, United States.
The Blaine Street Stairs consist of 293 concrete steps that connect different elevation points in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, with views of Lake Union.
Built in 1911, these stairs are part of Seattle's network of over 650 public staircases designed to address the city's steep topography challenges.
The staircase runs adjacent to Streissguth Gardens, creating a natural corridor that connects residential areas while providing space for urban recreation.
Local residents, firefighters, mountaineers, and runners use these stairs daily for training purposes and as an alternative route between neighborhoods.
A section of the staircase passes under Interstate 5, creating an unusual passage through the I-5 Colonnade area beneath the elevated highway.
