Apartments and hotels in Seattle
This tour visits apartment buildings, flats, hotels and inns. Some still take guests and some have become housing.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1909 to 1926. 11 stops, 1.7 miles end to end.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Sep 24, 2026.
Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data, or from Wikidata where the spatial data has no point. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed November 02, 2026.
