Seattle Community Spotlight: The Nest
Perched 12 stories above Downtown on top of the Thompson Hotel, The Nest offers the kind of views that remind you why you live here: Elliott Bay stretching west, ferries carving their routes, the Olympics in the distance, and the city skyline lighting up behind you.

Seattle Community Spotlight: Hotel Sorrento
If walls could talk, Hotel Sorrento would have a lot to say... probably over a well-shaken martini.
Since opening in 1909, this storied landmark has been more than a hotel; it’s been a gathering place for artists, travelers, and Seattleites looking for a setting with both soul and style. Step inside and you’ll find vintage tile floors, a mahogany bar that feels equal parts timeless and cinematic, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to stay for “just one more.”
