From knowing various people in the building in the past, and I believe you can hear some sound between them, at least at the far end where the dividing wall connects to the exterior wall. But none of the bedrooms touch that wall (just living room/hallway) so it's not a big deal. Those units are on the top floor, so there's no noise from above, and the cork floors are supposed to absorb sound (they are new, so I can't comment).

As for parking: street parking isn't that bad; there are more offices than residents in Pioneer Square, so there usually spaces open in the evening (late Fri/Sat nights and game days are the only problems). And in two years we'll have light rail (I generally take the bus myself). I've lived in the building for over 6 years (I was the only renter to buy) and am happy to answer questions.

I seen them for rent on Craigslist about a month ago. $1100 for a studio. Seems cheap. Leigh I think the two that sold were for investments.
