Living in South Lake Union
South Lake Union fills the blocks between Denny Way and the south shore of Lake Union, rebuilt almost entirely in the last fifteen years.
Commute: Amazon's towers are here. The South Lake Union Streetcar connects to Westlake for Link light rail to the airport and the University District.
Daily life: Whole Foods on Westlake, the Museum of History and Industry on the water, and Lake Union Park for the weekend.
Who lives here: overwhelmingly tech, and lease timing follows the corporate calendar more than the school one.
What rent buys: new construction with full amenity floors, and a walk to work that removes the car payment entirely.
