Enjoy an all-new, architect-designed garden apartment in the heart of vibrant South Seattle. This thoughtfully crafted retreat features custom touches, including hand-built fir shelving, and warm, natural finishes throughout. Cozy furniture and a sunny private-use patio welcome you as you explore the cafes, restaurants, bars, and shops of walkable Hillman City/Columbia City. Convenient transit connections provide easy access to downtown Seattle, Lumen Field, T-Mobile Park, and Sea-Tac Airport.
The space
Located just one block from the heart of the Hillman City neighborhood, you'll find a vibrant stretch of local restaurants (Ethiopian, Filipino, teriyaki, Mexican), a beloved microbrewery, cozy neighborhood bars, a corner coffee roastery, and a wildly popular donut bakery. There's even a nearby music venue for live performances and local energy. The neighboring hub of Columbia City is a 15 minute stroll away, offering additional restaurants, bars, shops, and music venues.
Visiting for sporting events, conferences, or concerts?
Skip the parking headaches and post-event traffic. Walk or take a short bus ride to Link light rail and head straight to Seattle's major venues. Whether you're attending a big game, soaking up the atmosphere downtown, or exploring Seattle's extraordinary, reimagined waterfront, Circle House offers a comfortable neighborhood home base with convenient transit connections throughout the region.
Getting around is easy:
Two complimentary ORCA transit cards are provided for your stay, making it easy to ride Link light rail, buses, streetcars, and ferries throughout the Seattle area.
🚍 Frequent transit to downtown, Pike Place Market, Seattle Waterfront, Seattle Center, and the stadium district is just two blocks away
🚆 Link light rail is easily accessible by bus, rideshare, or neighborhood walk
✈️ Many guests find they can comfortably explore Seattle, reach the stadiums, and get to Sea-Tac Airport without needing a car
🌳 Lake Washington and Seward Park are a scenic 20-minute walk away (bring your walking shoes — there's a hill!)
This is one of South Seattle’s most walkable and welcoming neighborhoods — full of flavor, music, and community charm.
You’ll have a private, street-level entrance with your own secure access code and full exclusive use of the apartment — no interior stairways required.

My work: Transit Advocacy
Speaks English, Spanish, and Dutch
My husband and I live in a wonderful neighborhood in southeast Seattle, with our sweet kitty Lili, our garden, books, and music. We both work at nonprofits — Jonathan works on climate & clean energy, I work on sustainable & equitable transportation (walking, biking, transit). We love to travel and have enjoyed staying in dozens of Airbnbs near and far — and now we're enjoying being hosts ourselves!
