welcome home
Step out of the elevator on the 13th floor and the city is right there. Light pours in from the west, and downtown Seattle stretches out through every window with the kind of long sight lines you only get up high. Two bedrooms, one bath, 724 square feet, and a deeded spot in the garage. The Elektra is a 1949 Seattle high-rise that converted to condos in '97, and it's one of the rare downtown condo buildings that allows short-term rentals with no cap. Live in it, rent it, hand it to a host, swap between modes as life changes. Whatever you want this place to be, the building lets you.

The View
Thirteen floors up and west-facing, with strong city views and long sight lines from the unit itself.

The Building
The Elektra is sixteen stories, 196 units, with two rooftop decks, a concierge, a guest suite you can book for visitors, a billiards room, a business center, and a fenced dog area downstairs. HOA dues are $569 a month and cover heat, hot water, water, sewer, garbage, and cable internet. It runs like a building should.
The Location
You're a block from the Convention Center, eight blocks from Pike Place Market, and steps from the Pike/Pine restaurants and bars climbing toward Capitol Hill. Walk Score 98. Light r
Your Options
This is one of the few downtown condos with no rental cap, so short-term rentals are on the table. Live here yourself, host it on Airbnb, do a seasonal mix. Seattle requires an STR license, but the building permission is the hard part, and the Elektra has it.

What people are saying
SEE ALL
The Neighborhood
You're in First Hill, sitting at the seam where downtown meets the bottom of Capitol Hill, on the Pike/Pine corridor that everyone in Seattle uses to get from one side of the city to the other. Walk west and you're at Pike Place Market in eight blocks. The Carlile Room is two blocks over on Pine for a real dinner. Pacific Place is a quick walk for Din Tai Fung and Pike Place Chowder when you want something fast. The Paramount and the 5th Avenue are around the corner for shows. It's the part of downtown that still feels like a neighborhood.
Getting Around
You probably won't drive much here. Walk Score puts this address at 98, and the city is built around you. Westlake light rail is a short walk west and gets you to Sea-Tac in under 40 minutes or the U District in 10. Buses run constantly along Pike, Pine, and the 3rd Avenue corridor a few blocks west, with connections to West Seattle, Ballard, Aurora, and Madison Valley. I-5 on-ramps are a few blocks over for trips out of town. When you do drive, the deeded garage spot waits for you. For Eastside commutes, you're 20 minutes to Bellevue off-peak, longer in traffic, like everyone else.
The Home
Two bedrooms, one bath, and 724 square feet that actually work. The kitchen opens to the living and dining area, and the west-facing windows do the heavy lifting on light. Both bedrooms hold their own. The primary fits a queen with room around it, and the second works as a guest room, an office, or a second bed for paying guests when you're hosting. When you have visitors who need their own space, the Elektra's bookable guest suite downstairs solves the problem most condos can't. The bathroom is functional and clean. The Elektra was built in 1949 as a concrete high-rise and converted to condos in 1997, so the bones are solid and the systems were modernized. Deeded parking comes with the unit.
Your Options
Here's what makes this one different. Most downtown Seattle condo buildings either ban short-term rentals or cap them tightly. The Elektra doesn't. There's no rental cap, and the HOA permits short-term stays, which puts the building on a very short list. That means you can live here, you can rent it long-term, you can host it on Airbnb or VRBO, or you can mix and match as your life changes. The Convention Center across the street drew 475,000 attendees in 2025 between Arch and the new Summit building, on top of everything else downtown pulls in. Seattle requires an STR license to operate, and we'll walk you through that. The point is the building lets you choose.
