The Neighborhood:
Quiet, wooded Thornton Creek neighborhood, providing a restorative, low-traffic setting while still inside Seattle - great for guests who want calm after busy days.

Creekside trails and nearby green spaces put outdoor time within easy reach, with a creek trail just steps from the house and on-site outdoor features like a private yoga platform, deck, and fire pit for stretching or evening gatherings. Cultural and sports venues - including UW Husky Stadium, T-Mobile Park, Lumen Field, Climate Pledge Arena, and Memorial Stadium - are a short trip away, and downtown Seattle attractions such as the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the Seattle Aquarium are within easy day-trip range. This location suits families with pets, remote workers, small groups, sports fans attending stadium events, and medical visitors needing convenient access to local hospitals.
