The Central Eastside provides about 10% of the city's coveted manufacturing and wholesale trade jobs, but a tight downtown office and housing market is pushing development to the eastside. Any regular commuter or visitor to the area can't escape its wacky roadways with obstacles ranging from sideways trucks to bicycles, construction activity to rumbling trains, and tent cities built by the city's homeless.
Even now City planners are shaping the next 20 years of growth for the Central Eastside, and considering loosening zoning restrictions across much of the district.
