One of the main commercial intersections of the Central District neighborhood of Seattle (aka the "C.D.").

The intersection was immortalized by Sir-Mix-A-Lot in the song 'My Posse's On Broadway' in 1988. See also: Taco Bell & Dick's Restaurant on Broadway.

"Wheelin' 23rd we saw nuthin' but thugs
The girlies was too skinny from smokin' all them drugs
Cause the rock man got 'em and their butts just dropped
The freaks looked depressed 'cause the Benz won't stop
At 23rd and Union the driver broke left
Kevin shouted Broadway it's time to get Def!" - Sir-Mix-A-Lot
