Parenting in poverty on Capitol Hill

“Seattle has the reputation of being a hip, slightly pretentious, and extremely wealthy city teeming with entitled tech bros and kids raking in $15 an hour to flip burgers. With an average median income of more than $80,000 yearly, and a poverty rate at least two points below the national average, the stereotype is not far off. Seattle is also the second most literate city in the country, topped only by the nation’s capital. It’s a city on the rise, literally; walk through almost any neighborhood and you’re bound to see a luxury residential high-rise or another expansive complex in construction.”
