A great day starts with coffee in Seattle, the home of the caffeine fix. Its experimental music scene is also world-famous. Think grunge and hip hip – and check out the Museum of Pop Culture! Eating is student friendly too. From food trucks to upscale eateries on the waterfront, pick your price – or soak up the bustle and banter of Pike Place Market for foodie goodies piled high. And the nature? It's stunning, whether you’re paddleboarding in Green Lake Park or day-tripping out to dramatic Mount Rainier.
These apartments take the effort out of getting anywhere. Classes are just 20 minutes away and the Suzzallo and Allen Libraries even less. Or swap studies for cheering your team at the Husky Stadium or Alaska Airlines Arena.
Head on over to our neighboring Yugo space at Wilsonian to enjoy the upcoming BRAND NEW gym, available soon for workouts!

Or grab some Thai food or other delicious option from the restaurants on Lothlorien’s ground floor. Easy!
And when the weather heats up, check out the new furniture on the rooftop and enjoy sweeping Seattle skyline views. Bring your friends and live extraordinary!

Cheer on the Huskies at Husky Stadium or catch a baseball game at Husky Ballpark. Need morning coffee? Try Sip House or Cafe Canuc for morning favorites. Come evening, good friends gather at Earls On The Ave. But really, the options are endless!
A smarter approach to student living: 15 minutes (max) from class but in the buzz of Seattle’s University District. In other words, all you can eat, shop, watch and chill with on your doorstep.
Our BRAND NEW gym will be available soon for workouts in the comfort of the building. In the meantime, head to the university’s IMA Building or watch your team being put through their paces at the nearby Husky Stadiums.
