Seattle Condo Buildings
Seaboard
Boutique 24-home condominium in the heart of downtown Seattle, originally built in 1909 as the Northern Bank and Trust Building with a striking terra cotta facade, later the headquarters for Nordstrom's corporate offices, and converted in 2000 into a mix of residential, office and retail space. There is no on-site parking; the building trades it for a walkable downtown location.

Important
No Rental Cap ≠ Short-Term Rental
A building can allow an unlimited number of owners to lease their residences while still requiring a 30-day, three-month, six-month, twelve-month, or longer minimum lease. Rental-cap percentage and minimum lease duration are separate rules and should always be reviewed independently.

Association rental and leasing rules, rental caps, current cap availability, waitlists, minimum lease terms, fees and short-term-rental policies can change at any time. Information should be independently verified through the current resale certificate, declaration, rules and regulations, association management and applicable City of Seattle requirements before purchase or lease.
Building permission does not itself establish that an owner is eligible to operate a short-term rental. Seattle licensing and operator/unit eligibility requirements apply separately.
