Located just a block away from Pike Place Market, West Edge residents are at the epicenter of Seattle’s diverse downtown neighborhood. The brand-new apartment tower offers luxury living with upscale amenities: a rooftop deck, meeting and entertainment spaces, a state-of-the-art gym, and even a seven-story atrium with a live Tsuma Gaki tree. The floorplans range from open one-bedroom apartments to sprawling three-bedroom penthouses, all with floor-to-ceiling windows affording stunning views of the city.

Though tourists visit from around the world to wander the vibrant streets of downtown Seattle, when you live a minute away from Seattle's historic market, the Pike/Pine corridor forms the backbone of a strong local community.  

“The Market really has a neighborhood feel to it,” says Don Kuzaro, the second-generation owner of Don & Joe’s Meats, a family-owned and operated butcher shop that will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. Like many longtime businesses in the area, Kuzaro puts his customers first, building strong connections with local residents and noting that for many of his customers, “I’ve seen their kids grow up over the years.

                  Head just a couple stalls down to the Pike Place Fish Market, where you can go beyond the typical tourist experience of snapping a photo with the fish vendors and build lasting relationships with them. “We love our locals,” notes co-owner Jaison Scott, who views his coworkers and customers as extended family. “You get to know the people who take care of you. Our locals trust us to tell them what’s good.”

Along with a plethora of food options, cultural institutions are mere moments away, from the Benaroya Hall and the Seattle Public Library to the Showbox and the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). “A SAM membership is an unbelievable cultural value,” says Gallery Manager Jody Bento. “You get into shows for free, and there’s a ton of programming.” Bento encourages residents to make the most of the neighborhood by getting involved in the local art scene. For Bento, the best part of having residents nearby is helping them define themselves in their environment and decorate their homes with art, mentioning “you can even rent art from me—no kidding!”
