Seattle Waterfront

Waterfront Condos: What Buyers Should Know

Seattle's central waterfront stretches along Alaskan Way and Western Avenue, offering some of the city's most dramatic views of Elliott Bay, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains. Following the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, the area has been transformed by a new waterfront park that connects Pike Place Market to the Seattle Aquarium and the waterfront promenade.

Waterfront condo buildings command some of the highest HOA fees in Seattle. Salt air, marine exposure, and the maintenance demands of buildings near the water justify elevated reserve requirements and ongoing envelope maintenance. Buyers should scrutinize reserve fund studies carefully for any waterfront building -- Jeff Reynolds has reviewed the financials on every relevant building and will share what he knows candidly.

Also worth noting: many buildings with "waterfront views" in Seattle are not on the waterfront itself, but on First Hill, Belltown, or Downtown corridors that overlook Elliott Bay. See the three confirmed waterfront buildings below, then explore all Seattle condos with water views for the wider set.
