The Building Story
Two buildings above the west side of Lake Union
Portal Over Lake Union is a two-building condominium community at 655 Crockett Street in Westlake. Completed in 2004, it contains 76 homes, with A and B prefixes identifying the two buildings. The hillside setting and Lake Union outlook are central to its identity, and current listings document a shared rooftop deck with lake, city and mountain views.
The residential plans include compact homes as well as larger layouts, and features such as private decks, fireplaces and space for a desk vary by unit. A recent one-bedroom listing illustrates how a flexible living area can make use of the lake-facing position. When comparing Portal homes, the building letter, floor and orientation are useful starting points. The address sits west of the lake rather than directly on its shore, so buyers should experience the route between the residential entrance, Dexter Avenue and the waterfront paths themselves.

Before choosing a home here

- Confirm the private deck, parking and storage rights attached to the home and distinguish them from shared rooftop space.
- Walk the actual route to Dexter Avenue and the lakefront to assess grade changes and daily access.
