Rainier Valley is a Neighborhood in Seattle located east of Beacon Hill ; west of Mount Baker , Seward Park , and Leschi ; south of the Central District and First Hill ; and north of Rainier Beach . The valley is centered on Rainier Avenue South, its main (northwest- and southeast-bound) thoroughfare. Both avenue and valley are named after Mount Rainier , towards which they are both oriented. The valley has recently been home to a large population of African- and Asian-Americans. Until the White Flight of the 1960s, it was commonly known as "Garlic Gulch" for its substantial number of Italian-Americans. |
