About the neighborhood:
Neighborhood is close to Capitol Hill, Central District and the Madrona
restaurants area. It is walking distance to wooded trails to Lake
Washington. Douglass Truth Library, Mountain Flow Yoga Center, Red Apple

Walgreen's.
Located three miles east of Pioneer Square, Leschi draws people from
nearby downtown Seattle. Named after a local Nisqually chief, Leschi has
a history dating back centuries--to when it served as a seasonal
Duwamish tribe settlement. By the 1890s, Leschi Park and the lakefront
served as a vacation and leisure destination for local European
settlers. As the neighborhood continued to develop, people started to
move here and call Leschi their home.
Today, the Leschi waterfront still draws outdoor-activity seekers, and
two parks--Leschi Park and Frink Park--provide plenty of space in which
to play. In addition to amazing views of Lake Washington, Leschi is
surrounded by parks, marinas, water sports, cafes and wonderful routes
for bicyclists, runners and walkers.
But outdoor sports aren't the only draw. Leschi holds two small business
cores. The area along Lakeside Avenue South is home to Leschi Market, a
gym and restaurants such as Daniel's Broiler, BluWater Bistro and
Starbucks. A smaller commercial area on the Leschi-Mount Baker Ridge at
31st Avenue offers a spa, financial offices, a pet store and the Re-Past
Bakery and Café.
Even with its laid-back, suburban vibe, Leschi is just a 10-minute drive
from the bustling activity of downtown Seattle, and its proximity to
the Interstate-90 floating bridge allows for easy access to the
Eastside. Leschi's architectural medley and diversity of residents make
this waterfront enclave perfect for urban-minded neighborhood living.
Transportation:
Easy access to I-90, highways, and bus lines. Several bus routes nearby
go to various areas including Capitol Hill, downtown, Queen Anne, south
Seattle, University District, etc. (#2, 3, 4, 8, 14, 27 and 48).
Shared house living: Typically, our housemates are socially-minded,
responsible, working professionals who enjoy living in a nice place with
other respectful individuals. Typically, our short-term furnished
approach to housing attracts people in transitional times of life, and
new arrivals, including many contract workers or international
visitors--really anyone who wants a convenient, hassle-free lifestyle
without having to purchase or bring a lot of stuff into a household and
without having to commit to a long-term lease. Current housemates
include a musician, massage therapist, an REI engineer, and myself, a
former arts funder turned real estate entrepreneur. Otherwise,
housemates come and go, but they are usually a very fun and interesting
mix of personalities, nationalities and backgrounds. All tenants must
submit an application, with screening on background, credit, income and
rental history. I am a professional property manager, and it is my job
to see to it that there is a good mix of tenants--I live here too!
