Walking tour of Columbia City neighborhood in south Seattle. Walk begins across the street from the Columbia City Link Light Rail Station and makes its way to Rainier Ave where downtown Columbia City proper is located.
I talk about coffee and show you all the different coffee shops and get coffee at Columbia City Bakery. I share my insights on gentrification and the amenities of this historic landmark.
Finally, I show you luxury condos and the post office that has returned to Columbia City. I hope you enjoy this walking tour. Email me with questions and inquiries: drwtpho@gmail.com

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME…
My name is Dennis aka Lao Ocean (also aka Dr. Wtpho, but more about that later) and I'm a Lao American RU-vidr based in Seattle, WA (since 1980). I do different things, including I’m a Creative Director for Seattle based Pom Foundation, a non profit group that strives to transmit, preserve and promote Lao culture through the arts.
My videos and vlogs consist of Seattle and Pacific Northwest content, food and product reviews, and travel. I drink way too much coffee and eat pho 20PHO7!

It was a very great neighborhood 30 years ago full of great people and fantastic families before gentrification took place! Where you started your walk is part of the Rainier Vista. That little strip of public grass used to be where my friend's house was located before the rail station was built after the City bought and tore it down. Soreano's Plumbing, Columbia City Funeral Home, Columbia City Bakery, Public Library are some of the few businesses, locations still around and active from the 1970s-80s. Columbia Elementary has turned into an Alternative HS. Betty's Grill (Big Betty Burgers) IYKYK...

Was looking on Google maps and following along with yur directions. That area has changed a lot since 2019. Major improvements to the area. THanks for making this video.

I came very close to moving to that complex right there at the beginning of your walk, Dennis. I may just yet. I looked at CityLine, too. Thanks for your wonderful videos and your singing fit the theme just fine!

A very awesome video Mr. Ocean, loved the singing. I too break out into 80s song singing from time to time. So glad the Sun is out; Suns out Lao Ocean is out, and I couldn't be happier. Love your commentary, but you know that. I couldn't imagine a Lao Ocean video without your amazing commentary. What I'm trying to say, my friend, is thank you for the wonderful content. ✌️❤

I used to be a resident for about 14 years. I guess I agree, Ballard is a bit better. Each city seems to have its own charm, of course, there are areas to avoid, but that is true of almost every city.

Great walking tour Dennis! Man those townhomes you showed at the beginning and end are so classy, that whole block next the the big park is about to be brand new it seems like! I would love to live there for all those eateries and easy transit access, and it even seems like a good deal if you say the most basic smaller units nearby cost just a little less!

I noticed the park, and most of the streets and sidewalks were empty, no people hardly walking around. Must be a high crime neighborhood.

It's very safe. Columbia City is very small and he's just walking in a fairly residential area.

I got the feeling it must have been pretty early in the day. We couldn't see on the video but there were probably lots of people waiting to eat breakfast at Geraldine's Counter or 1/2 mile away at Both Ways Cafe or shopping at the PCC store.
