Even Thrillist knows our neighborhood is the best spot to spend your weekends. The recent feature highlights several walkable spots within close proximity to our community.

The Waterfront is Yours. Just about a block and a half from The Emerald, the Waterfront Project is creating a more accessible and livable waterfront in an effort to offer more pedestrian spaces connecting Seattle’s central core to the water, making all that’s in the works an exciting new amenity of our community at The Emerald. Enjoy a video tour of the waterfront from above with Brooke and tap into the latest milestones like the recent progress of Overlook Walk.

Easy Rollin’. Our downtown Seattle location offers dozens of convenient public transportation options, from light rail to buses and even electric bikes. Two-wheel travelers will love the 4th Avenue protected bike lane through downtown Seattle. This lane now runs uninterrupted along 4th Avenue from Vine Street in Belltown down to Yesler Way in Pioneer Square. Future plans include connecting a new 2-way bike path along the Seattle waterfront near The Emerald that will serve commuters, visitors and families. Scooters are also a convenient way to hop on and get rolling. And, it’s easy to find your next scooting adventure around the neighborhood with Seattle’s Scooter Share program. One of our favorite Seattle streets to scoot is Second Avenue found at The Emerald’s doorstep.

You Can Walk There. From daily conveniences to cultural gems and day trips from the nearby Seattle Ferry Terminal, you’ll cherish our walkable waterfront location in downtown Seattle. Seattle’s downtown holds many of the city’s must-see spots, including the Seattle Art Museum, the Rem Koolhaas–designed Seattle Public Library’s Central Library, the Seattle Center Monorail, Pike Place Market and Pier 62 – the city’s most scenic new cultural destination with ongoing waterfront events. Enjoy a walking tour from The Emerald to favorite spots at nearby Pike Place Market with Brooke Kavieff in this vlog feature: ‘A Day in the Life with Brooke’.

Commute Friendly. With dozens of public transportation options, from light rail to buses and electric bikes, downtown Seattle is an ideal place to commute car-free. From our central location, you’ll be near the ever-growing tech campuses and offices in South Lake Union, along with freeway access that puts SeaTac International Airport less than 30 minutes away. Top employers in close proximity to The Emerald include: Google, Amazon, F5, Oracle, Nordstrom (Corporate), Accenture, Apple, and Microsoft with a convenient shuttle blocks away. And if you work remotely, we’ve got the perfect floor plan for you! Working from home has never looked so good. At The Emerald, bright spaces with window frontage and expansive views were created with you in mind.

“During design we considered ways to make units feel more expansive. One way is maximizing opportunities for expansive views, but another was thinking about spaces that could open onto others. To us it suggested there were rooms “around the corner” from other rooms providing a sense of a larger unit. That’s what I like about the southeast units – the little spaces right round the corner from a main space.” ~ JULIA NAGELE Hewitt, Principal, Director of Design – Architecture

You Can Ferry There. Venturing on the water is easy from our iconic downtown address. Hop on a ferry today and start exploring nearby destinations. Throw on your sunglasses, grab a towel, and enjoy a ride across Elliott Bay on the West Seattle Water Taxi from nearby Pier 50 to spend a day at Alki Beach or take in the Pacific Northwest beauty of a Bainbridge Island ferry ride from the middle of downtown Seattle. The journey is stunning, but the destination this ferry ride grants you is even better. This easy escape from the city offers up opportunity to unplug with scenic vistas, beautiful trails, ultra-local wine tasting, and outdoor adventures. From fine food to the great outdoors, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

A Delicious Downtown. Nearby iconic Seattle staples include Biscuit Bitch, The Pink Door, Le Pichet, the original Starbucks, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, Moore Coffee Shop, and Serious Pie. All of these are Seattle originals and boast a serious following. It really is a delicious time to be in downtown. Our Seattle location has also been stacked with new restaurant openings. Be sure to view what’s new to add some more Seattle flavor to your agenda.

The Best Neighbors (with Perks). Our location features local culture and the best neighbors that help you celebrate year-round. Just across Stewart Street from each other, The Emerald owners will enjoy perks from Thompson Hotel in an exclusive partnership. Both current and future owners will delight in curated food and beverage experiences, including discounted meals at Conversation, Thompson Seattle’s signature restaurant, plus a secret signature cocktail menu at The Nest, the hotel’s striking rooftop bar and lounge. Join us on Instagram @theemeraldseattle for our ‘Day in the Life’ vlog and watch Olga Dyckman join Brooke Kavieff to give us the grand tour of perks at Thompson and The Nest.

Waterfront Views. Outstanding views are another bonus of our location. When you are seeking some epic water views, book a tour of The Emerald’s Panoramic 05 & 06 Stacks – the best remaining residences with water views. Panoramic 05 is a large southwest corner one-bedroom residence with views of Elliot Bay, West Seattle, Mt. Rainier, the stadiums, Pike Place Market and the Olympic Mountains. This is our only Mt. Rainier view floorplan with the exception of penthouses! The Panoramic 06 is a one-bedroom with a fully unobstructed western facing view which features a large living room ideal for entertaining.

Panoramic 02 is the largest one-bedroom with den at The Emerald. The den has a dramatic corridor view down Second Avenue to Smith Tower, which at one time was the tallest building on the West Coast! It’s especially beautiful at night when the city is all lit up. Panoramic 04 is a one-bedroom with den boasting south-western exposure, which is ideal for those who want to maximize sunlight in their home throughout the day. This plan enjoys the best of both worlds for people who want a city and a water view.

Tour the Evolving Seattle Waterfront from Above

Join Brooke, Sales Manager at The Emerald, as she explains the latest amenity milestones and what’s to come along the ever-evolving Seattle waterfront. A natural in front of the camera, Brooke begins this video tour high above it all filming from one of our beautiful one-bedroom condominiums on the 33rd floor. This “05” stack home offers an amazing vantage point to watch the progress along the waterfront unfold.

If you haven’t had a chance to watch Brooke’s entire video, enjoy the tour. We’ve summarized some key points below for your convenience!

The Waterfront Project is creating a more accessible and livable waterfront in an effort to offer more pedestrian spaces connecting the city core down to the water. Once at the waterfront, the emphasis is to create a more livable and enjoyable space for all.

The first portion, the new seawall, was completed in 2017. This new seawall serves as the foundation for the new waterfront, and it has some really nice features for the ecosystem. Salmon migrate through that area, so they have used materials and have designed it in a way that creates a healthier habitat for the sea. A sidewalk has also been incorporated to facilitate and encourage waterfront pedestrian activity.

In 2018 we saw the addition of the Washington Street Habitat Beach, a beach that anyone can enjoy for fun, great for picnics or to get your feet wet. If you are familiar with the waterfront, you know that before this beach was added, there really wasn’t anything on the water until you get to the Olympic Sculpture Park, which is on the north side of the city. This addition is almost complete and many are excited about this new venue.

In 2019, an above ground two-story highway was rerouted underground into a tunnel that now runs underneath the waterfront – hugely beautifying the waterfront and definitely making it much, much more enjoyable and accessible.

The next portion of the project that was completed was Pier 62. You can tell which one it is because it has a soccer field on top. This pier was designed to be a flexible park space, with numerous events daily. The Waterfront Park website highlight activities offered such as free yoga, free dance classes, food truck round-ups, live music and even the regional Salish Tribe sharing traditional songs and stories with visitors.

Future plans call for a sidewalk that runs along the waterfront, expanding it and making it more like a promenade. They’re also adding a bike lane, more greenery and park spaces for kids to play, in an effort to create a pedestrian-friendly setting for all. These present and future improvements will make connecting by foot to your favorite sporting events extremely convenient. It’s very Seattle.

The Overlook Walk portion of the waterfront is another project that is currently under construction which will connect Pike Place Market to the Seattle Aquarium. There’s going to be some fun spaces for kids, various slides that can take them from the top of the walk, down to the bottom where the aquarium is located. Food and beverage vendors will also be incorporated. Overlook Walk boasts a modern design and will have some great views.

Other additions will include a new pedestrian bridge from the common ferry terminal that will take people over to Western Avenue. There will also be one more new pier, Pier 58 – located between the aquarium and The Great Wheel. This new pier will be in the shape of a triangle and will have a grove of trees, nice seating, and kids play area.

All this is just about a block and a half from The Emerald making all that’s in the works an exciting new amenity of our community. Contact Brooke at Sales@TheEmeraldSeattle.com for an in-person or virtual tour soon to explore the new collection of modern high-rise condominiums rising above an iconic downtown address at Second and Stewart.

It’s a Delicious Time to be in Downtown Seattle

The Emerald opens up to a vibrant mix of downtown cafés, fresh markets, exceptional shopping, A-list restaurants, and world-class museums and galleries. Our neighboring Pike Place Market invites you to explore all 9-acres featuring 70+ farmers, 150+ crafters plus over 220 independently owned shops and restaurants. And Elliott Bay is just steps away from your front door – highlighted by the new waterfront redevelopment and its reimagined plazas, parks and paths that will connect the city and the Sound like never before. Our Seattle location has also been stacked with new restaurant openings, making it a delicious time to be in downtown.

Get a taste of the neighborhood by adding a few of these spots to your dining card:

Mason’s Famous Lobster Rolls, a Maryland-based seafood chain, is bringing Maine lobster to Seattle. The signature dish at this new spot is a fluffy roll loaded with Maine lobster meat, served hot with warm butter, chilled with lemon butter, or with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. They also serve up shrimp rolls and clam chowder along with some other lobster dishes like lobster mac and cheese, lobster grilled cheese, lobster bisque, and lobster salad. The first West Coast location, Mason’s is located at 1307 1st Avenue, a short walk from Pike Place Market, across from the Seattle Art Museum.

Shama is Pike Place Market’s new fine-dining Moroccan restaurant that serves dishes such as M’rouzia, a meltingly tender lamb shank with Moroccan saffron and a chicken dish cooked with bitingly sour preserved lemons and briny green olives, both served with fluffy couscous. The restaurant overlooks Western Avenue and is located at 1501 Pike Place #200.

Salt District is a new casual Italian restaurant on Pier 55 on the Seattle waterfront brought to us by the owners of Elliott’s Oyster House and Metropolitan Grill (E3 Restaurant Group). John Vega, who previously ran E3 Restaurant Group’s catering program, is the restaurant’s executive chef. His menu includes snacks like cheese and charcuterie boards, sandwiches for lunch, and pasta, steak, classic Italian entrees like branzino, and Lamb Osso Bucco for dinner. This spot also offers a large cocktail and wine list.

Tiger Sugar, Taiwan’s premier brown sugar milk tea chain, has arrived in Seattle near Pike Place Market. The Instagram boba sensation entered the U.S. market in 2019 with two wildly popular locations in New York City. This is the chain’s first location in Washington with future plans to expand in the state.

Make it a very happy hour! Seattle restauranteur Ethan Stowell opened a second location of The Victor Tavern at the base of the 2+U office tower near Pike Place Market on June 29th. A great spot to share some snacks and conversation with colleagues and neighbors, The Victor Tavern caters to downtown office workers with a happy hour menu offered between (4- 6pm) featuring bites like beef tartare, spicy calamari, grass-fed beef burgers, veggie burgers, and fish and chips, served with $10 cocktails, $6 draft beers, and $7 glasses of wine.

Just a few blocks or ~.5 mile from our door is The George, the newly opened full-service restaurant of Seattle’s Fairmont Olympic Hotel as part of an $25 million renovation of the hotel’s dining and lobby areas. Chef Thomas Cullen says he intends to make it the top restaurant in Seattle by achieving unparalleled breadth and quality in his menu with pasta dishes, sashimi, huge seafood boils and towers, dry-aged steaks, and more. The restaurant’s design, with vaulted ceilings and zigzagging green, black, pink, and white marble tile floors, is stunning. You can find The George at the back of the lobby area of the hotel, which is located at 411 University Street.

A few blocks in the other direction, also ~.5 miles from our door you’ll find Renee Erickson’s newest business, King Leroy. This casual Northwest-style bar invites you to order chicken wings, jalapeno poppers, and smoked oysters in the heart of the Denny Triangle. Delicious and dedicated to a case, dining out here means giving back. To honor the late Portland chef, Cameron Addy–a beloved friend of Sea Creatures’ chef-owner Renee Erickson, the restaurant uses proceeds from sales to fund the Cameron Addy Culinary Scholarship, offering financial support to culinary arts students at Seattle Community Colleges.

It’s hip to be square. If you are looking for a quick bite or some grab and go, Slices USA, a Dallas-based high-end pizza chain owned by Michael Franzese, a former capo of New York’s infamous Colombo mob, recently opened approximately ~.5 down Olive Way on the other side of Hyatt in Downtown Seattle. You can try the Sicilian-style pies in a casual setting at 809 Olive Way, Suite C. Don’t miss the House-made Sicilian Meatballs, made with pork, veal and beef, and ricotta and parmesan slowly simmered in tomato sauce.
