RSS FEED
Properties in the developing neighborhood of South Lake Union offer views of Lake Union as well as the city’s iconic Space Needle. While you may still feel a bit like an urban pioneer living here—new buildings are sprinkled amongst the area’s original warehouses and industrial properties—the landscape is rapidly changing as high-tech businesses move in, retail expands and condos reach completion. Attractive amenities include a Whole Foods Market, Tutta Bella Pizzeria and of course, the South Lake Union Streetcar for easy transport between the lake and downtown.
