Most malls have speed bumps other than that watch out at Pikes Market if you park all the way down near the market because the road is quite steep; you're probably better parking a few blocks away and walking. If you're going down on a nice day watch out for radar when the road goes to 3 lanes just past Mt. Vernon. The police like to station themselves on top of over passes, behind trees and parked on Freeway entrances. Have fun!

The Original Starbucks is near Pike Place and I recall there being a REALLY steep hill not too far from it. I wonder why do people lower a car beyond practicality but that's besides the point.
