Cascade, Seattle
Cascade is a historic neighborhood abutting Downtown Seattle, Washington, USA; it constitutes the eastern portion of what has come to be known as Cascade Neighborhood. It is bounded by: Fairview Avenue North on the west, beyond which is the rest of the Cascade Neighborhood; the Interstate 5 interchange for Mercer St to the north, beyond which is Eastlake; Interstate 5 on the east, beyond which is Capitol Hill; and Denny Way on the south, beyond which is Denny Triangle. It is surrounded by thoroughfares Mercer Street (eastbound), Fairview Avenue N. and Eastlake Avenue E. (north- and southbound), and Denny Way (east- and westbound). The neighborhood, one of Seattle's oldest, originally extended much further: west to Terry Avenue, south to Denny Hill (regraded away 1929–1931) on the South, and east to Melrose Avenue E through the area now obliterated by Interstate 5.〔(History, Organizational Description, Boundaries ), Cascade Neighborhood Council, November 1997. Accessed 6 June 2011.〕 Some recent writers consider Cascade to omit the northern "arm" (east of Lake Union), while others extend it westward to cover most of South Lake Union.
Historic structures in Cascade Neighborhood include St Spiridon's Orthodox Cathedral (), Immanuel Lutheran Church, and several defunct laundry blocks. In 2007, a development named Alley24 was built around the New Richmond Laundry Building, a City of Seattle Landmark located between John and Thomas Streets and Yale and Pontius Avenues North. The historic façade was maintained in the new design by architecture firm NBBJ, who also relocated their headquarters to Alley24. The property is jointly owned by PEMCO and Paul Allen's development company Vulcan Inc..〔(Alley24, A New Face for Seattle: A LEED-certified speculative development in Seattle is both environmentally and economically sustainable ), Sebastian Howard, GreenSource, March 2009. Accessed 6 June 2011.〕 Vulcan owns roughly approximately 6 acres in Cascade Neighborhood, a lower percentage of the land than in the rest of South Lake Union.〔(Who's built what in South Lake Union ) (also see map), Eric Pryne, Seattle Times.

==History==
Cascade grew up in the late 19th and early 20th century as a blue-collar neighborhood with a mixture of housing and one of the city's first industrial areas. It was the original home of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church (built 1919-1921; congregation moved 1963; demolished 1995), and remains the home of St. Spiridon Russian Orthodox Cathedral (established 1895, present church completed 1938) and Immanuel Lutheran Church (established 1890, present church completed 1912).〔〔Louis Fiset, (Seattle Neighborhoods: Cascade and South Lake Union – Thumbnail History ), HistoryLink, April 9, 2001. Accessed 3 February 2008.〕〔Dorothea Mootafes, Theodora Dracopoulos Argue, Paul Plumis, Perry Scarlatos, Peggy Falangus Tramountanas, eds., ''A History of Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church and Her People'', Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 2007 (1996). p. 65, 73, 128–131.〕〔(Summary for 1310 Harrison ST / Parcel ID 6847700030 ), Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. Accessed 3 February 2008. This is a description of the Sts. Cyril and Methodius Education Building adjacent to St. Spiridon, and mentions the construction date of the latter.〕〔Walt Crowley,
