on Capitol Hill in Seattle, WA

 

 

Big Belly Services is located at 222 10th Avenue East, between E John and E Thomas streets, one block east of Broadway Avenue E on Seattle’s Capitol Hill.  I share the space with Rainy City Midwifery & Acupuncture Works!  The area has many nearby restaurants and services.  Please see below for parking information as free street parking is often congested and limited to two hours.
