The Decatur Condominiums
Mid-century elegance is the most apt description of the Decatur Condominiums on Seattle’s historic First Hill neighborhood.

The 13-story building at 1105 Spring Street (corner…
Tobira Condominiums

These don’t appear to have websites so I’m providing sample listings from the MLS. Queen Anne Waverly Place @ 2012 Waverly Place Small 5-unit building with one-bedrooms starting at…
Vertigo Condos – Capitol Hill
Matt at Urbnlivn.com wrote an entry about this new conversion in the heart of Capitol Hill. Unfortunately, for Vertigo, the readers of Urbnlivn.com aren’t so impressed.
