Some highlights: polished concrete floors, pretty decent views of the Olympics and an original walk-in freezer… Read More
When we toured the new Lyric Apartments on Capitol Hill late last year, we figured the upscale building would do well, given its modern style, amenities and central location.

The appeal is an updated mid-century modern on a huge lot one house away from Lake Washington. The concerns I’ve heard are, what is the neighborhood like and… Read More
With its colorful name, I expected HUE to feature a lot of splashy pigments. There are some. But what distinguishes this new apartment building in South of Lake Union has more to do with sounds, and a lot of it if a resident wants.
