South Lake Union

Hip people. Cool spaces. Good food. Green surrounding.
Dominating employers set-up shop here. There’s activity at every turn. Hip retail shops cater to  discriminating buyers. It’s standing room only at the trendy restaurants on every corner. Cross town meetings can start in 8 minutes. You can drive-it, bike-it, walk-it, bus-it, cab-it, trolley-it, or scooter-it. Cool gathering spots start whispering in your ear around 4pm. The day ends with you sitting on a park bench, watching the sun hesitate just slightly as it dips behind the iconic Space Needle and then slowly slips away beneath the majesty of the Olympic mountains.
