Built for the 1962 World's Fair, the Seattle Center Monorail connects the Seattle Center to the Westlake Center. It reaches top speeds of 45 mph, and offers a quick way to visit some of the area's top attractions. Here are a few fun places you can visit near our Redmond apartments:

Space Needle

On many bucket lists, the Space Needle will take you to new heights. It features the world's only revolving glass floor and offers spectacular views above Seattle. The team will capture your visit with a welcome photo, and you can take selfies on the outdoor deck, perfect for posting on social media. To support a good cause, take part in the Base to Space event on October 1st. It's called Seattle's most iconic climb, and participants conquer the Space Needle's 832 open-air stairs to help the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.

Pike Place Market

Considered the "soul of Seattle," the Pike Place Market has been a city landmark for more than a century. It features over 220 small businesses and is probably best known for its fish-throwing. After you shop until you drop, enjoy a meal at Crepe de France. A market fixture since 1991, it serves crepes made from family recipes.

Seattle Aquarium

At the Seattle Aquarium, you will find a "premier resource for hands-on marine experiences and conservation." It welcomes thousands of guests annually and is one of the Puget Sound region's top five paid visitor attractions. Daily presentations include All About Our Washington Waters, Marine Mammal Feeding, and All About Our Sea Otters.

From riding the Seattle Center Monorail to learning to sew, residents of Parkside enjoy a wide array of activities. If you would like to call our apartments in Redmond home, please contact us. Our leasing team will show you everything our vibrant community has to offer.
