Bronco Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 For some reason, downtown Everett didn't make the list. What makes a hipster paradise? According to Forbes, it’s neighborhoods where the urban youth can sip on single-origin java from a nearby coffee shop, eat from food trucks, shop for organics at farmers markets and watching indie bands play in small venues. And, while Seattleites can do the aforementioned in nearly every neighborhood, Forbes says Capitol Hill is the place for hipsters to be. Capitol Hill came in 8th in Forbe’s “America's Hippest Hipster Neighborhoods,” which was released last week. “Seattle, oft times credited as the West Coast birthplace of the hipster craze, has several cool kid neighborhoods. Capitol Hill landed on our list, but it was in close competition with the up-and-coming Ballard neighborhood (walkability tipped the scales). Known for both its hipster and gay communities, a good cup of coffee is a given in Capitol Hill -- the area had the highest coffee shop per capita ranking on our list -- and gourmands have access to fresh finds at the local farmer’s market. Bars, fringe theaters and impromptu street parties make the area a nightlife destination.” Silver Lake, Los Angeles ranked top for hipsters, followed by the Mission district in San Francisco.

olyclimber Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 It appears to me (as someone who really isn't that hip, never was hip, or is post hip...which mean I'm hipper than you all) that Seattle is the city that the non-hipsters think is hip and that Portland is the city that hipsters think is hip. So the argument could be made that Portland is more hip. But since I'm post (or non) hip, I'm not paying attention to any of this. Fucking hippies.
