Seattle and the Surrounding Area

We are situated on a tree-lined street on Capitol Hill in one of Seattle’s most desirable neighborhoods. Take a walking tour of the neighborhood mansions, and stroll Volunteer Park, home of the Seattle Asian Art Museum . Interesting shops and restaurants are nearby, and the bus to downtown stops on the next block. With Seattle’s excellent transit system a car isn’t necessary, but parking is readily available and free.

Seattle is an attractive and convenient base for exploring Western Washington’s bounty of attractions, with a full-menu of attractions - a revitalized waterfront, a smorgasbord of museums, the Space Needle, and Safeco Field. From downtown a short walk can reach most attractions, or take the trolley, bus or taxi.

Only a ferry ride away is Bainbridge Island and Kitsap County where you can fill a day with distinct, diverse activities. An hour and a half from Seattle are the treasures of the North Olympic Peninsula, including Olympic National Park, the Victorian seaport of Port Townsend, and the lavender fields of Sequim.

"Strolling Capitol Hill’s genteel north end and quiet residential streets is like visiting an open-air museum of good taste from the decade before World War I. Most of all, Capitol Hill is a place where aimless walking always rewards."
