Is capitol hill the same as first hill?

They're right next to one another... First Hill is nicknamed "Pill Hill" because you've got Virginia Mason, Swedish, and Harborview medical centers on it, so a lot of the people who live on it are doctors or RN's who want to live as close to work as possible. The shops and restaurants on First Hill tend to close earlier because a lot of the clinics are open 9-5 and the staff leaves after that... Capitol Hill tends to be much more of a nitelife destination. Lots of bars, clubs, and restaurants that stay open pretty late, and a lot of kids from the UW or Seattle U congregate there so it's pretty hipster.
