Downtown

A great benefit to Marriott ExecuStay Seattle corporate apartments is how accessible downtown Seattle is to explore. Downtown Seattle is best known for shopping, dining and entertainment including Pike’s Place Market, numerous art galleries, performing art theatres and several pro-sports fields. Seattle has a great metro bus system which is affordable and easy to use, or you can take advantage of the free bus zone which covers most of downtown Seattle. Downtown Seattle has many fine restaurants including Tom Douglas’ fantastic four: Lola, Dahlia Lounge, Etta’s and Palace Kitchen. Seattle University, Seattle Pacific University and University of Washington are located just minutes from downtown Seattle. Living like a local, or otherwise known as a “Seattleite,” means spending time at alternative and independent music concerts, which are typically attended by over 100,000 people annually. Several dozen Seattle neighborhoods have annual street fairs, and many have an annual parade or foot race. The street fairs, featuring hundreds of craft and food booths and multiple stages with live entertainment. Or for a fair on a smaller scale, you can visit some of the more prominent neighborhoods which have weekly Farmers Markets. With convenient access from our Seattle corporate apartments, there are several amazing parks and outdoor activity areas in downtown. You can run along the Elliott Bay path while taking in the fantastic views of the Olympics Mountains, Mount Rainier, and Puget Sound. Or enjoy a leisurely picnic at Myrtle Edwards park which has just been remodeled to welcome the new Seattle Art Museum sculpture park and beach. There is also Lake Union, located just north of the heart of downtown, featuring Gas Works Park. Gas Works Park has a play area with a large play barn and an open hill, perfect for flying kites. The Burke-Gilman Trail runs past Gas Works Park and follows the Burlington-Northern Railroad 12.5 miles north to Kirkland Log Boom Park.
