Meaning 'gather' in Southern Lushootseed, ʔúləx̌ (U-lex) symbolizes a spirit of community and togetherness exemplified in the Othello Neighborhood while also paying homage to the rich history of the Coast Salish and their stewardship of the land.
Othello is one of Seattle’s most diverse neighborhoods, with over 40 distinct ethnic groups among its vibrant community of over 84,000 residents. With more than 60 languages spoken, it's a true melting pot where a quarter of its inhabitants are immigrants.
Othello has been a welcoming hub for immigrant and refugee communities for nearly a century. It’s a place where small family businesses thrive alongside community centers and non-profits. Conveniently located at Holly Park Drive South and Martin Luther King Jr. Way South, residents enjoy easy and accessible commuting options across the city.
