SEATTLE – Residents and visitors in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood will be walking on a rainbow starting Tuesday in honor of LGBT pride.
On Tuesday morning, Mayor Ed Murray unveiled one of 11 new crosswalks in the historically gay-friendly neighborhood. Murray said the display "says something about Seattle," that it's a city of diverse neighborhoods and character.
The crosswalks are east of Broadway on 10th and 11th Avenues.
The cost of the sidewalks -- about $6,000 each -- is being covered by fees for new private developers on Capitol Hill. They're expected to last three to five years, but the city said it will continue to maintain them.
Seattle Pride Week is Tuesday through Sunday.
