This is the second of four, weekly urban night walks through Seattle's Centeral District (the CD), to explore the legacy of redlining and the experiences of generations of marginalized folks who came to Seattle. Walkers may enjoy reading Skid Road (Murray Morgan, 1951 last edition 2018). Chapter 3 talks about the "Box Houses" along Yesler Way.
