Sitka

An Oasis in the City

Inspired by the San Juan Islands, Sitka is a serene apartment community in Seattle’s Cascade neighborhood. The Pacific Northwest style and lush landscaping evoke a forest retreat, while sky bridges connect residents to 24/7 onsite amenities.

Sitka uses innovative technologies such as a wastewater heat recovery system and a greywater conservation system to reduce impact on the environment.

The project is part of a trio of full-block, mixed-use residential projects developed by Vulcan Real Estate, creating an engaging pedestrian experience that contributes to the vibrancy of South Lake Union.
