Waterfront Condo • Walk to Pike Place + Garage

A rare downtown Seattle find: 930 sq ft of quiet, sunlit waterfront condo — bigger than most hotel suites — with free covered garage parking. Pike Place Market is a 6-minute walk up the Lenora bridge. Peek of Elliott Bay and a balcony for cruise-ship sunsets. Quiet enough to sleep in, central enough to leave the car parked the entire stay. Residential building, not a hotel — guests sign a short rental agreement and community rules at booking. It's what keeps things quiet, secure, and well-kept.
