 About Us

Located in the trendy Pike/Pine neighborhood and Central Business District our properties are steps from shopping, restaurants, theaters, museums and all major downtown attractions.   We are 8 blocks east of the Pike Place Market, next to the Washington State Trade and Convention Center, 4 blocks from the Westlake and Pacific Place Malls and near the Paramount, 5th Avenue and ACT theaters.   We are also conveniently located near most major medical centers including Virginia Mason, Swedish, Fred Hutchinson and Harborview.
